Looks like some kind of stiffness around seat tube/BB area. Maybe frame enclosure around shock for lateral stiffness? Chainstay, seatstay look the same.
Random tire question. Are the white patch Maxxis tires any different (compound, weight, etc...) from the yellow patch tires or is the white patch just a way for Maxxis to track the OEM tires?

Fairly certain the answer is no, however not all compounds are available in "white patch". But please do not hesitate to pursue it further in the correct thread instead of rumours thread

When I was ordering Maxxis as a PM at Canfield a few years back, the tires offered in white patch are for OEM only. They do not offer all of the options in white patch. But a white patch and yellow patch of the same tire specs (size/duro/TPI...) were the same. Yellow patch had more options and more of the premium options.
Good eye! And a steering damper, but I think that's been discussed here already. The shock looks really similar to a Super Deluxe, so I'll have to defer to other tech nerds to confirm whether that's a new reservoir or just the old one with a new sticker, sans lockout lever.

My guess is the existing super deluxe shock body with a vivid piggyback bolted up. Would be a cool retrofittable feature for existing shocks if that's the only difference.
Is there any difference between the Vivid and Super deluxe piggybacks? I was under the impression the vivid is just an architecturally same shock as the coil super deluxe (with adjustable hbo) but in air form. As the two super deluxes do have differences in architecture. Can it just be a marketing related renaming? Regarding lockout, there has always been a super deluxe ultimate DH without the lock.
This is the bar I need. Any ideas what the rise is on it?
Come on Primoz, you are pretty handy with calculations, we know he is likely running 31.8diameter bar, it's not that hard to make accurate guess about bar rise based on that 😋my estimate is 10-12cm

I'd say more in the region of 80-90mm. Ladies and gentlemen place your bets.
Out of interest, would the best way of gambling on handlebar geometry be a sweepstake?

I think maybe Rock Shox will release a Vivid Coil to replace the Super Deluxe DH 🤔

At least from the release discussion, the main feature difference between a Vivid coil and a SD coil would be the initial travel damping bypass "touchdown" IIRC the naming correctly. The piggyback may be the same externally but the internals are likely different to include that feature.
DHRII as well, I'm really curious to see what Pirelli comes out with in the future. Minion/Krypotal fusion? Maybe just some hot patches instead?
I like my forum comments like I like my riding style. Fast, loose, awkward and over confident in my abilities.
Does anybody already have any details on the new Rise? https://experience.orbea.com/en/new-rise-is-coming-register
BOLD statements, "the best just got better" clevis shock mount, headset cable routing, rear end as stiff as an overcooked noodle, "the best"
Nothing groundbreaking, two versions 140/140 or 150/160.
Shimano ep801 with a choice of either a 420 or 630w battery and a range extender.

There's a thread (and an easy Google search) for that, but here ya go:

Not really a tech rumour, but quite interesting nonetheless
Why have you hidden the fact that that’s a dakotah post?
Pretty sure those bars make it absolutely clear who's post it is, but here's the link if there's any remaining doubt:

Not sure I'm buying this setup... his mechanic could have been messing with him.
But seeing Dak race those bars would be almost as good as the shorts bounty.
Seems about right, got rid of spacers and went to high rise bars.
Dak’s starting a biker gang with those ape hangers!?
All alone
God takes your stack
You're on your own

Raise your bar height

Vivid coil?

I vote 75. I'm more interested in the backsweep and upsweep to be honest.
We could have a sweep sweepstake.

Wouldn't that be a piston feature?
Probably a 70-80mm riser bar. Ive get 35mm diameter 50mm risers from deity on my bike. I like riding with a bit of stack as well.
