It's nice to see a shot of it in compression, as all other pics have been stationary.

Excited to see adjustable dropouts,
Love the little details like the window at the bottom of the shock
Definitely feel like that rocker link has a lot of excess material around the shock bolt.

This site's "fun for the whole family" vibe seems very off brand for intense? Looks to me like a sub-brand to help them squeeze the last few pennies out of their tooling investments. Less low calorie carbon and more hot hot sriracha aluminium please Intense.

Maybe that excess material makes room for different shock mounting options on production models? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That was my thought. It's still a prototype. Perhaps in Les Jets there will be new mount holes in use.

It was just a pop up ad. There were 2 different ones. The other one showed the bike better but I didn’t screenshot it. I went to the main page to see the article about it and there wasn’t one. Now I can’t find those pics.

When I clicked on the ad it said error 404. Makes me think something strange is a foot.

I wonder if pb will do an article about a spy photo being leaked from their website and then have a test ride the next day.

It’s definitely going to be nice to hear anything new. I’ve had mine on order for literally a year. I’m still hearing the model I ordered will be delayed, but like everything it’s just rumors at this point.

Thirion (and probably Dickson too) is not riding a production bike. Looks like the same prototype bike as 2019. It's clearly visible from the picture posted before.
Also, the ZK tires are heavier duty tires some riders get (40g more if I'm not mistaken).

Looks like a modern version of the old Lapierre Dh bikes Bruni and Vergier ran before switching over to Specialized and SC

Yikes, hopefully they ride better than they look!

I'm not sure if this has been covered on here yet, but there was a pretty clear picture of the new Range over on the other site from Leogang showing that it has modular drop outs.
