RAAW retrofit kit to upgrade Jib and Madonna to make there bikes compatible with the new standard. I like this about RAAW, not making you buy a new bike to upgrade to a new standard but just selling the part to be able to upgrade it if you want, I think this is a good way to develop brand loyalty. https://raawmtb.com/en-ca/collections/parts/products/seatstay-udh

Dude, they handling and geometry is very much understood here and basically the exact reason concepts like this exist at all. Telescopic forks have pretty glaring drawbacks when it comes to things like brake dive and friction so this is one way to get around it, while preserving good handling traits

Cool and fresh? You’d probably blow a load if they added a Girvin flexstem to this ridiculousness.

I love when people are downvoting an innovation when its interesting and a breath of fresh air

Hm. The top right one almost looks like a steering damper. But what it actually looks like is a pull shock. At least to me.

There are some better pictures here; https://global.yamaha-motor.com/showroom/event/japan-mobilityshow-2023/… Looks to me like the front triangle is fabricated in 2 halves, then bolted together too. Their AWD adventure bike is seriously nuts.

Holy Batman that drive sprocket size... Also, bolt clamp crowns, should do wonders for stiffness...

that gravel thing is so wrong it looks right for some reason. Thanks Marketing guy.

From the other site, most likely a rendering but KYB single crown USD fork and a coil shock? I'm here for it thats for sure.

L.Shaw to Specialized, along with 6000 others!

Endwarfin?

Prolly could be counted as innovation, you absolute pickle jar

Is it really a rumour if you post your own bullshit?

altitude will go full santa cruz anyway.

Just trying something here.... That Transition Sentinel sure is a cool looking bike, curious to see how much it resembles my old Patrol!

That is the WP version of the new Onyx 38 damper with the Cone Valve. DVO NZ reached out after I commented on it as it turns out they had been testing it for a few months already. I've had it all in bits and will run it on the Dyno tomorrow but so far- -Yes it is an actual Cone Valve design, but on the base valve instead of the mid valve. This will change its effect somewhat, since there is much less oil flow at the base valve -Overall construction of the base valve is really nice, the...

What's so special about this? Shimano had single-lever trigger shifters in the 90s, just with a Y-shaped paddle.

They must still have TONNES of right legs on a shelf somewhere after only selling the left ones for years
