Marty Maes just posted a picture of his new A-Stars helmet in redbull guide.

Fair cop, I got that wrong. I saw Martin with the Bell helmet and a 100% t-shirt, then Wyn in a 100% hoody and just assumed Alps was gone. As for Brook, true, had forgotten about Laurie on Fox. And for Gwin, it could very well be described by the relationship Intense have with Parts Unlimited (who own Thor). They've been distributing the big Tazer (with the Ohlins 38s, can't remember the name) to Motocross/Powersports stores. Has been a way to get ebikes into the Moto world. Would imagine that's where the match up came from. Either way, Alps still...

Gwins tire at windrock appears to be something new. Perhaps an updated Hellkat or something new altogether. The pinner was on major discount on the Kenda website so could it already be going bye bye?

There is nothing in those videos that looks the least bit demanding for a downhill bike. As the previous "troll" stated, it's smooth and flat.

My god it's the Vision Street wear high from when I was a skate punk. I've been waiting for this shoe for 30 years. Thank you Ride Concepts. When do they drop.

Sure looks smooth and flat for a DH test track. Hopefully theres some rocks hiding in there that we aren't seeing.

I agree with you there. I wonder though if this isnt the work around for not paying specialized for patent licenses.

Could be Tracer or Carbine since both are so far past due for an update. I believe the tracer is older so you're probably right that it is a Tracer. However, if this is the carbon version of the prototype Isabeau was on then it's a full on race bike and most likely a 29er (Carbine). Either way it looks...

The absolute best part of the Tectal was the little rubber band strap attached to the back. Origins of goggle staps but worked GREAT for holding your sunglasses when you weren't using them. Why oh why did they get rid of it!?

VPP patent expired a few years back. Diamondback now has a version of it in the market and Intense now still uses the design but doesn’t market it as VPP anymore (JS Tuned).

Interesting. There’s a lot to interpret in that video: 1. Lose the moustache. 2. He’s on OneUp bar and stem (formerly Renthal). 3. Yes he’s in TLD gloves, but his helmet and shoes are still Giro. 4. The rest of his riding kit is still Yeti stuff (so not TLD or Giro). My guess would be that the gloves are...

The TLD glove?

Specialized has nothing to do with Ohlins nowadays. Unless it's a team bike for Loic or Finn, or some other wild one-off. Theres no correlation. Ohlins does, however now factory spec Intense (as well as Mondraker and commencal). I could see this being the new tracer. Low shock (as seen under Isabeau and Palmer). Short, dual link (looks Dw-ish) and...
