Anyone know what bike this is? It looks like it could be be a the new fuel ex maybe, chainstay looks like ABP and treks pre production frames are usually white. But the seat tube looks like a GT.
Looks more like a new light weight ebike from trek, probably using the new Fazua ride 60 system (based on the fact that they use Fazua already). There are A LOT of interesting bikes coming out with this system for MY23!!
Don't think it's Fazua, the BB has to be inline with the motor/battery/gearbox and there looks to be a big elbow to the downtube just before the BB area.
Current Ex is the most anodyne ,magnolia bike I could imagine.

You guys are right- the HBO features on both air and coil make it difficult to change stroke length.
The coil especially can get into a situation where you have metal-on-metal contact if you took a 57.5 shock and cut the reducers out to make it go to 65 stroke. Basically to have all the shocks get the last 20% of stroke have HBO you need to lengthen internal parts as a 57.5 shock stops 7.5mm further apart than a 65 stroke shock.
If you did the same to the air shock it would have the HBO active for way more than the last 20% of stroke and sag graphics would be off.
Oh wait, really? will parts be available, maybe in a "kit" so its at least possible for a distributor or service centre to change the stroke if nothing else is available? I'm hardly ever able to jump on and order up a shock in the exact stroke I need, so that would be kind of a problem. Stocking all the SKU's previously was bad enough, but at least you had the back up option of adjusting stroke. I don't imagine many places stocking the 4 different strokes in standard eyelet and trunnion eyelet, bearing mounts and damper tunes for each size shock, because times that by 3 or 4 and you have a huuuuuuge list of SKU's!!
I actually overlooked this because its been such a common thing in the metric era, I never thought it would be an issue. That'll teach me

Looks a lot like the Trek I saw out in the wild that will be the new Fuel EX. Trek ABP axle, rocker link tunnel, and the same seat tube/top tube junction.

is it the same deal with Push/EXT? or you just start snap off/add a spacer? I mean for the HBO portion. Or is it set specifically to a stroke length?
For the air shock it's the needle length inserted into the damper body that changes (not sure if it's replaceable). For the coil variant it's the upper eyelet body part that changes. So set specifically to a a stroke length.
Regarding different tunes and keeping stock, it should be possible to change those. But then you have the wrong markings for the tune on the shock body as well (might be important in some cases...).

Push shocks are built specifically for the intended bike and not just as X stroke, so there are different length HBO cones internally and different spring seats externally. They are chosen to suit the specific leverage rate of each bike so the bump stop progression and HBO engagement gets tuned for the application. So if you compared the shocks built for different bikes with 60mm stroke there can be at least 3 or 4 different configurations of those 2 parts alone. This is changed by a service center at time of sale or during reconfiguration, so while it is only a couple of small parts being changed, it is only ever done while everything else in the shock is being specced too.
Dakota Norton crashed this weekend and apparently broke his bike so much so that he had to ride the production Intense m29 that he went onto take the win.

TF Tuned in the UK have been showing off their stock on the gram too.
Current Ex is the most anodyne ,magnolia bike I could imagine.
