I could see that as being the most sensible - the current slash is pretty good & the remedy has not been updated in a long time. Apparently its been confirmed as a slash. The current gen slash is a darn good bike if you want to own one bike that actually pedals pretty good, im not convinced HP enduro bikes are good enough to justify its trade offs.

I got bids on a couple of bikes that were such a joke. Insulting really. They are the equivalent of a used car dealership. Really taking advantage of the poor folks who are in such a hurry that they fail to see the difference in what money ends up in their pockets by generating a Craigslist, ebay and/or pinkbike ad.

They do what spherical bearings do, reduce side loading of the shock. And they do this with standard 15mm eyelet size.

Hope they have one in the Miami green, volt yellow color combo they did on slash a few years back

My buddy is a rep for Ride Concepts and he told me about a month ago that they were in talks to be acquired by a "big" company. He couldn't tell me which but that makes sense.

Fox Factory owns Race Face...so adding shoes to the Race Face clothing kinda makes sense.

Not really tech but apparently fox factory brought ride concepts

Big idler, less drag more pedalling efficiency.

Yea that bike has been baked in for quite a while. I believe they shot the promo video and photos for it last fall. Assuming issues with supply chain, waiting on aluminum version and old stock to clear out of shops have delayed it. The shops stock is probably the big one. Shops bought a bunch of not-that-old Slashes for 2023 season and with bike glut and Specialized's insane pricing this year they've had trouble moving them out. Trek can't launch the new frame until the shop inventories are much lower, so they're waiting.

New slash coming with a higher spec alloy frame option as well as carbon. The idler is friggin huuggggg. Mullet only as well confirmed, that proto floating around is accurate.

I’ve noticed that NSMB posts a new article most days except when there is something on embargo. Something coming today.

New Slash coming soon! Pretty modern geo and very versatile. And price dropped a fair bit! New Vivid also stock

Specialized does own the Trust design now. Though my guess is we will see that on gravel bikes from them.

New Lapierre Spicy incoming. 29 or MX, 180 front and rear and suspension layout à la new Mondraker Summum. Price will be high and no pros ridden it yet...

I'm guessing 'bzt bzt' sounds are much more easily sold than buttery smooth suspension. Can't see/hear the buttery smooth suspension. And your factory level suspension comment confirms it even more

$2500 “transmissions” would lead me to believe that price isn’t actually the limiting factor, marketability, aesthetics, and what they think will sell likely has more to do with it. How many people do we see riding around on factory level suspension that don’t actually know how to, or ever bother to check suspension sag. Price can’t be the issue

A lot of things are "easily" doable, modern capabilities or not. The limiting factor more often than not becomes the price.

I think the Lefty Max went to 140mm...
