Or better yet, get your hands on a Manitou Mezzer and call it a day. You’ll thank me later!

the return of the kona stab

seriously, both are awesome

They both give me chub.

IMO, Red Bull TV is also "large, corporate media." But they've mostly done a good job with the WCDH broadcasts and I loved being able to watch the replays after work for free. I really hope a free viewing option remains and that the quality of coverage--camera angles, commentary, etc--doesn't drop with this move.

I won't jump to conclusions just yet since this is still a ways away. But I have to appreciate the ease of using the RedBull TV app on my phone and TV to watch races. Honestly a real luxury that I guess I took for granted ! Hopefully Discovery does a decent job with it. RedBull fit well into the whole UCI race campaign with RedBull athletes making mini series and the fact that this is more of a niche sport anyways. Redbull was a huge improvement over the FreeCaster days. I'm sure it comes down to money and RedBull...

solid results when googling Discovery Sports

I certainly don't have both rumours threads short cuts on my home screen. I absolutely do not.

Looks like a Acto5

With all the detailed images that Jeff posted, I went ahead and did this render of what the bike could look like. Just need to wait and see how close or off the bike I will be from this. PH

Looks like a CNC'd Forbidden https://rideontool.com/ I'd like to see that linkage...

Seems crazy to me to have a talent pool like IFR does AND the ability to build frames in house, but only give the test mule to Gwin. Once you’re designing the frame and building a single bike, surely it can’t cost much to build a couple more frames.

So Gwin was indeed riding a Session and they are now building their own high pivotish bike just a few weeks before the first WC while the competition has already a full year of testing and racing on their new platform. I'm not bashing them in any way as it is clearly they have been trying the last few years but I'm worried they will be a bit behind. I've always been a Gwin fan so let's hope this new frame helps him and Dakota to contend for podiums.

That's a bit unfair on Canyon, they make much better bikes than Intense do

Why do you want to buy an Intense? After they moved production to Asia they lost all their appeal for me. One of their strengths was that new frames moved from prototype to production quickly and they also implemented running changes. Now with not having in-house production anymore, they are just another bike distribution company.

I don't really know what's going on with Intense right now. For about 2 years there is almost no M29 available and it doesn't seem to change. In addition, the whole concept is thrown over and a 279 is developed which will apparently never be available. Last but not least, something completely different is being developed that is exclusively reserved for Gwin. As a potential customer, I feel like I'm being led around by the nose. There is simply nothing new to buy from Intense.

Typical Intense. Finally building the bikes Gwin asked for 1.5 years ago... a month before the season starts. Lol. And no, looks like DAK didn't have one as of two weeks ago.

Isn't that picture missing about 55 other riders
