You’ll be even more stoked to know that they lower jockey wheel can rotate at the outer ring, as well as at the centre bearing, to limit damage if a stick gets stuck. Narrow/wide too.

the powermeter chainring might be ugly but it serves a purpose. training/racing with power values is a great training metric if you're a competitive athlete. For sure, it doesn't serve any applications for enduro bros who shuttle but for the right application, it's actually helpful (yet really expensive)

No accounting for taste I guess. I love all the new stuff, including the new Code levers. Hope there’s new calipers to match!
@fuckingsteve We've been seeing the new calipers on racer's bikes since the second half of last years World Cup season.
@krabo83 It isn't noticeably difference from low res Instagram, but don't believe they would slap the designer 'un-named new product' stickers on an old SID. These stickers showing up on the new Boxxer and new Vivid Air shock. So makes sense this is a new/heavily updated SID.
How is the raceday damper compensated for the rod ingression? Does it have an IFP or a bladder? Could it be updated with a new damper? Changes to the spring maybe?

I think the intention is to smooth out the dead stroke part of the revolution or something along those lines. I think it was more often seen in the BMX crowd actually?
Pretty sure it's the twinloc, maybe it looks tiddy from that angle.

Great alternate angle. Looked like reallly thin housing in the photo with Kate's bike. But makes sense it's still mechanical as the wireless version would likely have a protrusion out the top for the electronics.
I won't be surprised if SRAM and Shimano both keep moving towards proprietary everything; no more mixing and matching. SRAM's flat-top chain is an example...
I wasn’t able to get a photo (bad phone, not because I was told no photo) but the Pivot boys were getting around Queenstown Bike Park this afternoon on a new CNC lugged downhill bike with carbon tubing.
Not sure if this counts as team rumours or tech news so will post in both.

the future.
could the SID fork also be new or just new stickers?
Fortunately not all chainrings look like they were designed by a 5 year old.

If you're a full on enduro bro measuring power on the descents is essential for your bragging rights.
Thanks for the TED talk.

i think it‘s a bladder right now because weight?
Looks like revised crown and brake levers on Kate’s bike
early o chain prototype?
Courtney's bike probably has a prototype shock too, but I guess we'll never know. Those bastards at scott!
I would assume they are running a SID Lux from a weight point of view?

Steerer to crown connection taller/stronger for more fore-aft stiffness.
Also... Interesting 'wire' going from top of Kate's prototype SID fork to controls...

Nice view of the new AXS controller - seems like there's much more articulation for adjustment which should be nice
Even better picture from Vital
Doesn’t look like it’ll play nicely with the existing non-SRAM brake adapters.
I bet SRAM is very concerned, haha
Bug or feature?

Hey, so does anyone know when the new GT Sensor is supposed to be released?
