Based on the cutaway photos on the other site, looks like this motor shares components with the Bafang BBSHD motor. Namely the delrin gear with the integrated roller cutch, and it's axle/pinion gear. If DJI is using Bafang tech, then I entirely belive their claimed power specs. This could be a slightly de-tuned BBSHD with a neater, integrated motor housing...

I heard that many auction items disappeared between action close/payment settling and pickup the next day, sounded like a total nightmare from my source

Having used many inline and piggyback shocks from both fox and RS, my X2 was the only shock to fail while riding. Your sample size is small.
SDMBA's Instagram posts make me question their non-profit status. They seem to do a lot more advertising than trail advocacy, and when they do work on trails, they are quick to take away the best parts. I remember when E-ticket was worth the climb. I always thought more advocacy would be better than less, but these doofs have proven me...

I have not ridden live valve, but the goal of my system seems to be different. From what I can gather through reading is Fox uses a few fixed values (angle of the bike relative to gravity, etc..), and looks for recognizable events like drops or pedal input to determine adjustments. This implies that Fox uses a generic control structure...

A while back there was some discussion on self-adjusting suspension, and I thought ya'll might like to see what it looks like now that it exists. This is the first hardware iteration for my system, which was built from spare parts and a lot of electrical tape. The control architecture relies on a number of supervised statistical learners which make...

I would say that such a system could anticipate and preemptively adjust, but it would take some real-world testing to prove my point. The rider would determine their preference (prior to the race run) for how much the system can change, and when on the course it can change . This could be as simple as adding a click of...

With the variety of sensors available on full telemetry rigs, I'd bet that a good learner could guess track conditions(moisture, dust), track wear-in, and account for these differences with suspension adjustments mid-run. With enough data per second, the large variable space can be condensed into a few confounding factors for suspension performance, which would greatly simplify the decision-making process for...

With hardware capable of changing suspension setting quickly, it would not be a stretch to be able to tune suspension throughout a race run. This could be easily automated, using M.L models trained on practice run data. So, if a rider were to commit to a line early in the race weekend and record a few good laps with a...

I once saw Kade Edwards liked a weed related post on the gram. Could he be on his way to Snoop doggs new WC team? Snoop D Smoked Racing. In which case they will be riding the new Huffy Puffy. Half carbon, half weed

That is Cole Picchiottino's Session. Check out the shock orientation. Edit: Beat me to it ^^^

That's definitely a new DVO shock... Looks like a few more adjustments. Maybe a DPX2/X2 similar damper design?

I'd bet that GT has a new enduro bike in the works, or ready now, and they will launch an enduro team with Wyn, Strait, and Maes as the headline riders. They step away from WC DH, but attempt to make a top enduro team
