The other nomad color? Edit: maybe just an unpainted frame sent out for testing

Colorblind guy here so take this with a grain of salt but very similar, maybe same, as Nomad 3: Life is too short for bland ass colorways for my two cents.

is that the same launch color as the nomad 3? that miami vice colorway was fire 😍

The glovebox can be seen in the picture. There’s the black ridge on the upper side of the downtube. Bikepacking-Nomad. I’d love to fit a 29“ wheel…

Good eye! The build kit seems CC level. They’ve also added an accessory mount underneath the top tube. I wonder if they are keeping the glovebox too 🤔

Looks like mechanical cable routing is back - if that is a CC frame. (Fingers crossed)

Looks like the new Nomad is coming Tuesday!

PIT BITS from iXS DH Cup (should be working now) - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/pit-bits-ixs-european-dh-cup-1

Why does everyone hate on the scissor link idea? Its how every single Oleo strut works. Its been proven millions of times.

They're pretty niche here, but they're priced on par with Santa Cruz and Yeti, and until recently they were hideous. The ibis occasionally comes close to winning Australian bird of the year. I don't think most of us dislike them, they're just flying clowns. I suspect more people dislike magpies or currawongs...

🤔 edit: apparently v3 clash

Im always curious to know how popular ibis bikes are in Australia where the bird is known as a "bin chicken".... it would be like bringing a bike to the US and calling it Turkey....

A few days late but worth it.

Ibis's are birds. But I'm betting it's a xenomorph.

New Oso since their eBike line up is long in the tooth at this point.

My comment "idler goes on swingarm" was a gross over simplification. An important point of context about the itrack patent is that the application was submitted in 2013. 26" wheeled dh bikes were still mainstream.

Honestly, thank god... I couldn't care less about 32" wheels. Im closer to buying a 27.5" bike 32" one.

I can confirm that Specialized will reveal a new generation of the Specialized Epic this month. I can also confirm that the new model definitively rolls on 29" wheels. From what I'm hearing, the folks at Specialized who executively get to make the decision on these kinds of things are not convinced that 32" wheels are universally beneficial for all XC racers and see them as more of a niche solution for very specific scenarios.

What Avinox pulled off is impressive engineering but I would have rather seen them stay in the 90-100 Nm Range and therefore make the motor smaller und lighter. Having a Bosch CX4 bike myself (Canyon Strive:ON) I really don't miss more power but less weight would be really appreciated.

I always thought this Lefty demonstration was intriguing. I think the industry has different standards on fork flex these days, but I wanted to try a Lefty after watching this BITD. Let’s also not forget all the wacky moves Aaron Chase used to do with one…
