Hey Cascade! Have a look at the Norco Sight rocker and see if you can suss out a design that would allow for folks to run rear shocks.

Having lockouts isn't cheating anymore than Live Valve would be... And let's be real, if Fox felt confident in Live Valve it would have already been on the top Fox riders' bikes at the world Cup. From some folks in the know I have been told Live Valve isn't even close to being good enough for DH racing or EWS...

What if it's Not Loris that the rumblings are about, but Luca Shaw? Kade steps down from racing continues with Trek but moves into a Freerider role and what not. It's not as if him and Kaos are gonna stand on the podium in DH but you bet your ass they could stand on the podium of an event like...

I bet the new 27.5 remedy in low position with a 150mm 29er fork up front would work just fine. Run a 46mm offset apposed to the 42 or 51 and I'd say you would be ready to rock.

For 2021 Trek will be releasing a longer travel Slash, she's going 160/170 and this is probably why Trek has the new Zeb fork on Florins bike as it wouldn't have surprised me to see him riding a prototype before the end of the year if we were to have a race season. Also for 2021 the Remedy will be...

was just having a conversation about this actually. a lot of full fledged enduro bikes are headed back to 170 or 180 mm of travel, and enough are going that way that the fox 38 doesn't even come in travel lengths under 160 (I assume the same for RS ZEB ) making it pretty much a dedicated system for long travel bikes... and most certainly to meet the demands of the long travel 29ers out there. It would be nice to see these long legged 29er frames be given the necessary tech to allow for a mullet setup... especially since...

Same height as you actually. But keep in mind these are race bikes not play bikes or any of us regular joe's bikes. Just like in WC-DH the seat is almost parallel with the bars to give the riders an okay pedaling position if tired and need a quick bum sit instead of standing pedaling all while figuring out the balance between bum sit pedal efficiency and keeping the seat out of the way while descending still. In Enduro your legs can start to go pretty quick, so not only is this giving them something to push the inside of...
