Frameworks news release says Specialized will supply them with E-Bikes and DJ bikes.

Eddie with the comedy as always

Dak seems pretty tight with his mechanic who was not listed in that Mondraker announcement, which makes me lean towards him not ending up there. My guess is he ends up with Gwin, but I don't have any good guesses on what the frame supplier would be.

The bike world’s lust for 3d printing is hilarious to me.

Brook just signed for another year w/ Redbull

Totally agree, brook and fearon together would be such a cool combo

Super-nought happening. I don't actually know, that was just the only time I was going to get to make that joke. It would be sick to see Brook on a forbidden.

I mentioned this a while back, page 40 maybe, and my comment was missed / ignored by most. Which was fair enough as it was simply based on Brook liking a bunch of their instagram posts. Even I thought that was a bit tenuous. So I'll be a little surprised if he signs with Forbidden, but maybe a little less than others. IF he signs with them - but him and Fearon would make a very cool DH team.

Refreshingly SMART, not strange. The last thing the industry needs right now is somebody making a product that already exists in overabundance just because they can. Why waste any time, effort, and resources on making a DJ frame when you can source it as part of the deal with Spesh and get paid for riding it instead. We should applaud Neko's focus on what's essential here and actually providing some value to the market (the DH bike, in other words), otherwise they'll just turn into the 1547th "by riders for riders" company churning out generic flat pedals and handlebars...

Yes thats right. On the Instagram Post there is specialized listed for e-bikes and dirt jump bikes.

hey all, please discuss site issues here so they can be seen - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/about-vital-mtb-support/vital-mtb-site-… - no need to fill up tech or team rumors threads. thanks for looking out with it, too!!!

Agreed. Canyon and Daprela did it right, IMO.

Just announce the team at once, not this long drawn out process over a week with one rider at a time.

Funnily enough I was thinking this exact same thing this morning about Farina....she posted that it was the end of an era after riding Mondraker after many years, so my gut says she stays with MS. Same goes for Tuhoto, he recently posted on insta that he was in LA with the head spanner of MS Racing, so also think he's staying at MS. The question mark is Bulldog? Also Toby Meek and Jacob Dickson?

Jacob Dickson too no word about him.

Mondraker Factory Racing is here! But that doesn't mean we know who's riding for them...yet! Here is the timeline of what they intend to present us with: 16.01.2024 - 4PM CET - Presentation of the Team Name, sporting image and sponsors. No riders will be mentioned. 18.01.2024 - 4PM CET - First Rider: 22.01.2024 - 4PM CET - Second Rider: 24.01.2024 - 4PM CET - Third Rider: Here's what we know so far: MONDRAKER FACTORY RACING HAS ARRIVED!

Mondraker factory team just announced - "3 riders" Edit: "DH Team"

Factory team is Pinkerton, Norton, Dunne. Only question left is whether Farina sticks with MS or moves to Mondraker factory team??
