Seems like Lenz has decided to make a 32er in the same spirit of the first 29er. When will they learn!!!

Maybe Im missing something but how in the right mind is a company like Santa Cruz releasing a bike with very little travel, high price point, and the rear shock comes stock with all of its tokens in use? If you needed more resistance youre just up shit creek until Cascade makes something? Im genuinely so confused how they go from a well done VPP to a simple 4 bar and screwed that up when every other company can do it. Like who signed off on this?

This seems like such a ridiculous thing for RMU/Dave to lie about when anyone can just take an image of the frame and plot the points with reasonable enough accuracy to check it. The CS grows ~6mm at sag when measured horizontally and ~14mm when measured diagonally.

Progression is only around 15%, so maybe with a good HBO or bottom out system? It was stated that there is reservoir clearance, but probably not really coil friendly. It is quite appropriate that Santa Cruz launched their new Smuggler in Bellingham. 😁

Should be May and some others specs trickling into June. Not sure what, if any, event they are targeting for a launch. Maybe just relying on the horst link brouhaha doing enough for them.

Hmm. Do I get to decide when it’s a sustained steep or recovery is necessary? Cuz I spent like an hour yesterday desperately clicking my gravel bike’s shifter in search of an even lower gear. I’m old, been drinking too much beer and eating Trader Joe’s peanut butter cups, and now I gotta deal with the knowledge that I have suboptimal gearing? Eff it

I remember when this near word for word argument was used in favour of 26ers.

Road bikes are stuck in the stone age due to UCI restrictions and nothing more. Without them they would look completely different. They probably have bigger wheels for sure.

That is correct. Should be out soon

Saw this in the background of an Instagram story, must be the new tall boy going away from VPP
