I understand the thunderstorm concern. That means possible lightning. That mean lifts have to be stopped. That means spectators have to cleared from track. Wind and Rain yeah you can race in that.

At this point I think Loic's mechanic is just finding new ways to troll us bike nerds.

Wait, you're supposed to read the review before complaining in the forum?

"I'm disappointed in all of us here" Have a listen to yourself. People are entitled to opinions that differ from yours.

Neko is the hero we need today.

Hopefully it’s very expensive cause I told myself I’m not buying another bike for a while…. 😂

Neko goes over Gen 2 of the enduro bike. Orders opening later in the summer.

Or you're Chaz Maz and you just throw on the same shock from your old Stumpy and call it good.

Big S is watching us

Just saw on the PB article that there’s no routing option for a cable drive train on the new stumpy. What the fuck is wrong with these people.

Looks like there isn't a cable port hole on the drive-side chainstay, even. Wireless-only?

The first word that comes to mind is "underwhelming", especially for all the hype leading up to this launch.This is pretty standard trail bike geo, minus the fact that it stil has a sub 77 degree seat angle and the rear center could be considered short for a bike in 2024/25. That said, it's refreshing to see balanced reach with tall stack on a bike in this travel category but that's still nothing earth shattering considering other manufacturers are also starting to do this. My initial opinion is that they're leaning on the proprietary shock alone to set this bike...

but can you still stand on it?

A deep dive on the other site had me find this unreleased article. Can't click on it but surely it can't be far away I'm unable to tell whether it's mechanical or wireless, apologies for the poor quality screenshot.

Absolutely no idea what you're talking about

Doesn't have to be S tier build to have proprietary suspension. Take the Trek Supercaliber or Specialized Epic WC for example. They just omit the kashima coating and fancy components on cheaper builds. Regardless, less stoked to hear that Specialized might be going back to proprietary suspension. It is highly unlikely that Fox is releasing another shock in their newly revised lineup (Float SL, Float, Float X). It sounds like this new stumpy would be using a modified version of the new Float.

next year the g2 will be the cross country, codes for trail, maven for enduro and dh

Bigger companies working with proprietary shocks is historically not awesome.

Like Fox Brain or Reaktiv? Not really excited for a bike coming with a special shock. The past shown it was never a way to go. What a bummer if true.

Lets not fan boy too hard on these I have a V1, and V2 OneUp dropper that are not exceptions to the rule when it comes to both reliability, or standouts for OneUps customer relations. Both are known to be questionable (looking at you bushing that literally eat themselves) and any PB or NSMB review went on to claim them as the best thing since sliced bread, when PNW stuff quietly worked better, and were better to their customers. I'll reserve any opinion on these hubs for actual long term reviews. As a side note, I'm a fan of OneUp...
