Most likely the short cage version can also be branded as GRX Di2 where 10-45 is a popular option unlike on the mtb. The branding on the crank doesn't look great IMO and it seems that XTR is back on the normal Hollowtech II axle setup connected to the DS arm like current XT/SLX/Deore. Also looks like there is a new clutch system ? Shadowtech II ? There is no visible flip lever and no 2mm port for adjusting tension on those pictures.

Wouldn't be too surprised if that was true, I had been suspicious all last season. His stanchions have a different sheen and the black seems a bit more dull than the typical deep black anodized stock stanchions. DLC?

I see your gearbox/belt/chain talk and raise you an enclosed primary chain with secondary "standard" drivetrain! This is cool: https://www.zoceli.cz/en/vysoko

This is the (Horst) linkage, defining the axle path: This drives the shock: If it's the same colour, it's a single piece. The chainstay of the horst link has an extension, to which the red short link attaches and pulls down on it to rotate the silver rocker, driving the shock.

its all true, we just have to wait till May to officially talk about it. The rear der is a work of art, especially if you hate how big and bulky T-Type is.

Sorry to disappoint you guys... Its not a banshee. Its a mule we use to develop kinematics and geometries for the new Porsche bikes.

Been a long time visitor... first tech rumor contribution, what shock is that? 👀

I hope this is on topic - But since it was news from this week. Just got the OneUp pedals delivered. Some pics and size comparison to Saints for anyone that has been contemplating them. They are very similar in size, I would say maybe 5% smaller overall platform. Tried to "dry" clip them in to my Fox Union shoes, but the pins are quite high, and the clip mechanism seems quite hard (From my experience shimano is the same, and it takes a bit for them to "break in) - So I could not clip them in by hand...

I probably service 1 of those a year, and one I did recently had done about 10,000k without a service and was in pretty damn good condition inside. The USD concept of keeping oil on the bushings is way more beneficial than people give it credit for.
