Agreed, this looks like updated Privateer. Especially given the bolt on cable clips on the head tube, the external routing for the rear brake, uber steep seat tube, and chonky main pivot bearings. Looks like a pair of flip chips, one on the seatstay, and one at the rear axle (presumably for CS length). I wonder if the first is for mullet setup, or just slacker. Hard to tell if the rear wheel is 29 or 27.5 from that angle. Must be close to finished because the chainstay protector looks like a finished product (not just mastic tape or VHS like protos get).

100% the new 161. That's Fergus Ryan's bike, he's a Privateer team rider and currently in Whistler.
The new boxxer was out in the wild for ~1.5 years maybe more (iirc) before they finally released it. New Vivid was only spotted this season. I wouldn't hold my breath. Especially with whole industry slowing down and lots of shops and companies overstocked.

Looking pretty finished... hopefully not a 2024 release.

Where's the Vivid? I can't be the only one hoping for a big DH product drop, boxxers vivid and the new brake all in one.
Looks like the updated Privateer from a few pages back
New spire? BB area sorta looks like a spire. Any other clues boss man?

That inverted Horst Link at the back screams Rocky Mountain!
Spring 2024 at the earliest.

Definitely incorrect.
More on new Privateer's here
New Norco plus new Vivid Air out in the wild.
No products listed... yet... https://www.sram.com/en/rockshox/series/vivid-air
Old vivid I guess, as the old vivid coil is pictured right next to it with full description and imperial versions only.

I thoroughly enjoy being employed, just like the other people here who I know also know the embargo date and time.
norco fluid carbon is here

Anyone at Crankworx Whistler? Apparently there is a WeAreOne prototype bike floating around.
The recent “limited edition” release would support that statement.
Looking pretty finished... hopefully not a 2024 release.
So did boxxer, and we know how that ended up.
Those are some pretty well composed and lit "spy shots"
From the other site. Someone at Sram is having a chuckle
I can relate. Wouldn't notice the joke of I hadn't zoomed in to see if it says mineral oil only to do a double take at what it says 😂
Is that a laser etched padlock on the far side of the the comp assembly? Looks the same as the 23’ SDU I had.
