So signs point to iDrive/ID/COR being dead in favor of a traditional four-bar style. So does that mean that nearly all suspension platforms are virtual center (vpp/dw), single pivot (DELTA, orange, trek, kona, cannondale) and four bar/fsr?? Are there still outliers that are doing things differently than the mainstream? Just asking because I'm curious.

Suspension nerd in me: thank god, all bikes should be horst link with 80-110% AS and somewhat progressive LR.
Bike rider in me: add GT to the list of completely indistinguishable modern mountain bikes.


Gonna miss Maes winning on that clunking, ripping old Sanction

Do pros really use shorter chains than everyone else?

Please check out Martin Maes' drivetrain.

Ive ridden dual link bikes (not vpp or DW) and Im fine with tem, no interest in FSR, however I know that all these good systems can be tuned to match your riding preference. Ride what suits you

If you see any sweet rides, add them here!

Orbea's dialed Rallon R5 bikes for their new Enduro squad which includes Thomas Lapeyrie. FOX suspension, ENVE wheels, Maxxis Tires, Rotor and more.

I am obsessed with the look of these Orbeas. So dam unique and slick looking, that top colorway specifically. Coils already look sweet but highlighted on this bike
