Eh, looks are all subjective. I happen to like the looks of it - very brutal & stout, fits with purpose. Let the XC guys have flimsy generative design web arches.

Okay big conspiracy time. The podium fork has been made for a long time. Fox was waiting for the traditional design of their forks to plateau in innovation and sales before “being the first”. It weighs so much on purpose because their next gen of the fork (which is already made and designed) will be bigger news than the second coming of Jesus. Then after that it will be even bigger with slight updates to the damper that work for USD forks even better, and EVEN LESS WEIGHT. But if they released the fork as perfect on day 1, what...

Ah, I see you’re also a man of culture…

I’m just going to think stale bread every time I look at that name.

German Engineering in da house, Ja

looks like jesse‘s on a new RS Zeb, chassis looks different to the current one…

E-bikes and relatively low power lightweight electric motorcycles will be the main transportation method for large parts of the world. Imagine replacing every 2 stroke engine in a Vietnamese city with something clean. Once the tech is affordable enough it would mean a massive improvement in air quality and noise. So what’s a niche or recreational market in some places can be the norm in others.

We spent so much time worrying about pedal kickback that we didn't stop to consider pedal kickforward

dammit i hate when someone else gets the last word in the Big Thread 😩

Flex stay can't rebound undamped. It doesn't move without the shock moving.

Yes.

Flexstay are just Faux-Crab

After 20+ years, will we see a Minion DHF 2?

I can't convey it in any way other than vibes but these look extremely Scandinavian. Like Brio (the little wooden trains and tracks) and Lego!

Good to see them trying something that will really pop and get attention. I hope golden hour works out. I've done decades of night riding and golden-dusk is the hardest time to night ride. Once it gets proper dark, lights work better as you can see shadows with better contrast. It might be OK with the lights being external vs on-bike and I'm sure they'll push the lumens to 11 so the cameras can function. Either way, really cool idea and should be good for Enduro visibility.

I think if you put Bruni on a Zerode, he’d win. Those bikes look like they are working bettter than almost everything else on course.

As a non MX guy I couldn't relate to Ken at all and was honestly wondering why this guy is commentating on a downhill worldcup. To approach a broader audience, if that was the intention, it would have been totally fine to have him in the pre and post coverage as a guest. But in the booth?

Ha! That was actually something our engineering team did in the earliest stages of the HR3 development as a proof of concept.
