Looks like the Bosch ABS system I think

New Maven B1 variants are listed now too: https://www.sram.com/en/sram/mountain/collections/brakes/brake-collecti… Re-designed SwingLink architecture for smooth power delivery and lighter engagement for a broader range of ergonomic preferences 18-millimeter pistons for best-in-class power (instead of 18 + 19.5 on the A1 versions)

Look at the Yoke and the Seat Tube: That’s got more travel than regular Stumpy

Woooo! I've always wanted Maven power with the lever ambiguity of Shimano's wandering bite point! Count me in!

Man I've got some terrible news for you about mountain bikers and the word "loam:"

My Specialized contact says no new Epic any time soon. And why would they. It's widely considered to be the benchmark of its class.

I can see some advantages of a short cage UDH derailleur on a DH bike.. A 90 mechanical version would be my choice..Electronic is nice but not needed. As for electronics on the suspension, I can't see a benefit to someone just doing park laps..

Honestly could not think of much worse in terms of bike prep than having to charge batteries for my suspension and derailleur on my DH bike 😢

There's a bunch of new models on the horizon: -New Propain Tyee (apparently it's going mid-travel, with 145mm of suspension travel) -The new Norco is indeed the new Sight VLT (150 mm e-bike, features the TQ-motor) -New Giant Stance E+ (entry- to mid-level e-bike with 140 mm of travel) -New, different version of the Specialized Levo, called the Levo 4 R

Norco Sight QT - 580 Wh battery. Using new front triangle but same rear as the analogue Sight. Second result on google when I searched "TQ Norco Sight"

The measured with the same, constant lever force. It is likely that at different lever forces the brakes behave differently compared to each other. So the test results and your real life experiences (where the finger force constantly varies) can both be true. Even more so when you factor in different brake pads, rotors, bleeds, etc.

I haven't owned Mavens, only worked on them on other peoples bikes. After reading some other Maven threads, I think one issue is the Maxima fluid tends to absorb a lot more air than other mineral oils. Using the degassing step that was common in SRAM's DOT fluid instructions may help get air out of the fluid before adding it to the system. You may also try leaving a bleed funnel (or just a hose with some fluid in it) on the lever with some fluid and strap the lever blade down to the bar to pressurize the system. Leave...

my guess thats an answer to the amflow situation, i had several customers who were interested in the levo 4 up until they learned about the weight

Same I’d hope they finally drop some weight on those 38s

something new in a few days from Propain too, not sure what from the insta post

Does Ripley SL go 32'? Eric Olsen (aka JankyEric on IG) who rides for ibis posted a video of a Ibis bike in a box with some 32' rims

Where do analog bikes need innovation? Also how is adding a motor not a massive innovation to bikes, akin to suspension and gears? Edit: these are sincere questions. Curious what you think…

Blur and V10 are their best selling non ebikes?! Maybe I'm in a bubble in the northeast US, but I know 4 people who bought a SC bike in the past year and they are all Nomads. And others already owned Bronsons. All the middle aged and old guys around here with Santa Cruz ride Tallboys or Hightowers. Can't remember the last time I saw a Blur, and Nomads are so good in the park that only the hardcore DH racers buy V10s.
