Who’s to say it is a Enduro bike, could just be another frame built up with a fork they had laying around, the Zeb can go up to 190mm remember, and least it would be a rolling chassis for the likes of the engineers and test riders to ride and test different characteristics.

My guess as to why they're not as widespread is market share and who's got the thickest wallet come sponsorship time.

A question looking at the forks flex there Since i started riding motorcycles i appreciate the usd forks even more, Why upside down forks aren't widely used since like 2021 where weight became a less of a priority? we used to have an excuse because there was significant weight differences but just checked and fox 40 is 2850g and a dorado is 2970 both for 29 wheels.

Maybe they're just having a bit of fun with us.

Same with the stumpy. Both have been pushed back several times.

There was supposed to be a new Enduro released soon but seeing as they're still sitting on high inventory from the current model, it has apparently been pushed back...

Good eye! Looks like a Zeb, Super Deluxe coil and AXS dropper on it.

More importantly there’s one behind it with a Zeb Enduro?!!

The axle might go slightly rearward then up and forward. I haven’t mapped it out. here’s a photo of the bike before paint

It does have some rearward travel. Very little in the beginning of the travel, but some nevertheless. What part do you need to see uncovered to understand how it works? The gist of the kinematics was more or less known in the middle of last year, I even made comparison pics of where the IC would be if the lower pivot (the dogbone link connection point on the swingarm) was the actual main pivot. It's a few hundred pages back from here. Then it was fairly quickly established that there's a pull link and a rocker actuating the shock inside...

And there are plenty of others, that stayed low pivot and work just as well? Maybe every suspension layout has pros and cons and there isn't one clearly dominating the others? Blasphemy I know.

It's got a similar 5-4-5-4 block pattern with intermediate blocks on the 5 row. And it's not something currently in their lineup. So I would assume it's Assegai *inspired*

They have a timing chip for timing purposes, usually mounted in the front of the fork lowers close to the axle. Moreover, they use the same system as ski, with a spring loaded bar (not sure what's it called). The gps is used for the broadcast.

Looks like another new swingarm in MSA…

The GPS box is not used for timing the rider, only for the broadcast? I'm thinking here, if it was used for timing, mounting it further back on the bike, if passing a certain point on the track was the start marker, should make for a faster time. DH racing is a standing start formula and if the box 'crosses the line' later, it will do so at a higher speed. Thus the average speed over the distance should also be higher and thus the time shorter?

The GPS box has nothing to do with his handlebar control for the shock. It's provided to many of the riders by the broadcaster. They discuss it here (0:26) while installing it on one of the Canyon bikes earlier in the season... Other riders with it on their bikes...

Would be sick if it was a coil fork. The bomber is incredible good
