Personally, I feel that would defeat the purpose of the bike

Looks Solid. Having ridden the V1 Spur for the last few years, I'm not crazy about flex stays. Since Evil isn't releasing a short travel bike this year, the Reya just moved to the top of my list for a new frame.

It is refreshing to see a short travel bike without flex stays. This would be top of my list of I was looking for a full suspension down country bike.

Looks nice... I like the numbers..

You gotta play the game...drop some hints. We can play yes or no. Is it a sub 50lbs dh ebike with 150nm of torque and a solid state 1500wh battery? New solid state ebike batteries that charge in 5 minutes AND Rocky is installing ebike fast charging stations at the Dumpsters?

Can I plead the Fifth even if I'm Canadian?

Guy with "middle eastern" background here, lets go back to mtb rumors...

Yoshimura and Renthal ring a bell as the og triple og’s here. Got no problems with auto/moto brands jumping on the bandwagon. But, sometimes their products suck real bad and you’re almost always paying more for that brand name. Can’t wait till Gucci or Luis Vuitton come out with the highest bling at the highest cost with the worst performance that deep pocket nerds must have at all costs.

That isn’t Grice’s bike. He’s borrowing one of last year’s bikes from a buddy until the fresh produce is ripe. (Source: that’s what he told me on the Shuttle )

I'm not saying that isn't a Manitou coil shock but the spring retention piece is very similar/same as a Vorsprung Telum: I'm fortunate enough to have a Telum and walked out to my garage to verify the shape as my first impression seeing the photo of that shock was 'that looks familiar'. You could say I was...bites knuckle...shocked. Not sure why Manitou hasn't made a coil shock in ages though so intrigued if it is a Manitou for sure.

I have heard from a LBS that Norco should have a new affordable simple Horst link DH option like around 6k CAD for a complete DH bike with Rockshox Select suspension for this spring-summer.

Brage instagram, not on a hp with an idler like all the current Norcos?

Some big automotive companies probably noticed the bike-biz-boom around 2021, some people saw $$$, then corporate hierarchies and decision-making kicked in, in glacial speeds, and now that the first ripe products trickle in, there is a bike-biz-slump. And makes it look like there was bad timing or wrong intel. But that is just my uninformed guesstimate.

Wow, there really seems to be a resurgence in auto industry crossover product development lately...for reasons I can't really understand, given the stagnation in the bike industry.🤨 Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing someone drive up to the trailhead with a car equipped with Dunlop tires, Bilstein shocks, and Brembo brakes, with a bike on the rack with a matching setup. Maybe we can get Recaro to start making saddles, and Momo to start making bars and grips to keep the party rolling.

It's crazy how much that tread pattern reminds me of a Kenda Nevegal.

Don’t think I’ve seen this here yet, but looks like Dunlop is making some MTB tires.
