5/26/2022 2:39pm We may be small compared to our big corporate peers, but we've proven time and time again an uncanny ability to strategize synergistic solutions into seamless ROI streams that converge into deliverables for visionary, blockchain-backed value-oriented stakeholders and iterate turn-key, scalable interfaces to drive benchmark results in dynamic markets. But, truly, thanks.

5/20/2022 3:12pm Obviously, I don't know any more than you. That's why I wrote " assuming it's the same size" since the seat tube and stack look exactly the same. Looks like 70-80 mm less wheelbase anyway, and 80mm is the difference between and XL and S on the 2022s. I'd guess they wouldn't show a small or XL bike in the press release too. You're welcome to do some other photoshop renderings and share your guesses if you want, too.

5/20/2022 3:11pm They say "Even if this is only the beginning, it has allowed us to confirm new kinematics and geometry principles."
I have overlapped a 2022 over the new prototype for geometry comparison (scaled up with the front wheel). The wheels are lined up on the ground and BB set at the same spot horizontally. Assuming it's the same size, the new one looks : WB is way shorter BB slightly higher 29" wheels F/R Chainstay length is shorter HA is 64.0 (+/- 0.05 degrees) from what I found out in Photoshop. STA seems pretty much identical as the 2022...

5/20/2022 3:08pm Sorry i Apologize, The link i looked at said 603 for large but thats in 27.5 when mine was a 29er, but still front even felt low. - as a heavier rider i, and as many others in this weight catagory suffer from the limited range of Available suspension feel, ie you could go either direction in support or small bump but not both(without spending big bucks on cascade etc and my testing was done on a fox factory x2.) For sure on the HP being as per each individual but Ive owned the highlander and jekyll. ive also ridden...

5/20/2022 3:04pm Usually it is the bath oil rather than suspension fluid that is the bigger problem. Use a thinner oil during winter (0W30 or 0W40), and SuperGliss 100k during summer. Shocks have more damping and higher forces, and do not act as a structural element with glide bushings, so they are not that temperature sensitive as forks i cold weather. Open up some clicks in the LS circuits and good to go
Back to rumors, please. Internal shocks look very nice, and suck for all other purposes. Twinlock is s band aid for lazy suspension engineers, and I want the...

5/20/2022 9:54am Man that sucks. To spend all those years working towards your goals and then be given news like that. I really hope your quality of life improves and you can get back to doing the things you love. It's also quite alarming for me to read as I compression fractured 3 vertebrae around 30 years ago.

5/20/2022 9:48am A Cautionary Story from Experience As we grow we learn(hopefully)from our mistakes. So on a Saturday evening in March of 1976 I was racing MX and wrecked landing wrong and compression fractured a vertebrae. Along these lines my father when I was 9 or 10 took me to a Judo studio and told the instructor to teach me how to fall & after being thrown thru the air a few hundred times I had gotten the hang of falling down it’s a very good thing you can do for some one you care about it helps in all facets of...
