That is probably the new 650B trail bike would guess 165mm travel....

check my comment right below, confirmed as a 29er friends of mine saw it up close at NW Cup. better photos of this bike on the interwebs from that race. he's also running a proto uprising 27.5" which is a yellow frame (took it out to cascadia national champs, and won...)

Hmmm yeah well I have had my Following built for about 3 days now. If that is a LT 29r one hopefully is is 160-170mm and longer and lower and maybe a 65HA so it is a much different bike. The Following feels good. So hopefully there is a big enough difference between the 2 29" version and not overlap like many companies seem to do...

Just eyeballin' here but there's not nearly enough clearance behind the seat tube for that much travel. I'd wager it's designed to compete with an Enduro 29, Tallboy LT, Remedy 29 etc, so 135-150mm.

The 5" bike is covered by The Following. They should be competing with an Enduro or WFO both 160MM bikes....

They need a huge difference between them and that fork looks to be 160MM setting....

they've already said there is a 650b Uprising in the works. Hopefully that's it

long travel 29er, I've heard 160mm? he just won the last NW Cup at Ski Bowl on this thing, and anyone who knows that track knows its no Sea Otter, big bike territory for sure. hopefully this bike sees production soon, cuz Luke and Evil have made a wagon wheel convert out of me!
