Devinci website no longer showing carbon Wilson, only alloy options listed. Perhaps it was a decision made after the season to no longer invest in it. With the alloy frame performing well (and actually being preferred by Dirt in their comparison of ride quality between the two), maybe the numbers didn't add up.

Or maybe a newer version is near?

Had some quality control issues with the carbon one. Did you see the 3 snapped head tubes at hardline?

No I didn't! That would explain a lot.

As Dave Turner was saying, it takes an insane amount of money to sell a DH bike because you have to front a World Cup team to villify it's capability. What's a World Cup team and rider cost these days? $250k+ minimum?

Maybe if Yeti keeps selling as many trail bikes as I see them selling, they'll come back and front a team.

But at some point, DH may get to the motocross quotient of 4 bike brands and the teams being funded externally.

MadCatz Devinci 2018?

Call of Duty Yeti World?

Shark Tank Diamondback Global Racing?

That's Bulldogs training camp bike before they received the Factory Black Paint jobs,,,I would venture to say it does have very little use,,,,

I highly doubt this is Mark Weir on the left most of the picture - as to any want of DH racing I have no input.

If you look closely on Loic's photo, you can see the head of the TTX. Well, I think.

Demo 6 would suggest a niner. And it's not so much a yellow bike, but it does have yellow on it.

Even looks like an ohlins fork to me!
Doubtful, all the prototype Ohlins that were floating around were inverted, unless a new proto exist that I haven't seen. My bet is its just a cartridge, Ohlins might not be ready to go all in on the inverted design for racing.

Breaking: Tanner Stephens just posted a photo to Instagram alluding to a new team for next season. I haven't heard anything concrete yet but I have reason to believe it's either full factory spesh or Trek, paired up with Home Depot spray paint

It's not a Boxxer, the upper crown doesn't match, the Boxxer crown is clamped in the front.

So probably an Öhlins prototype, but where does that picture come from, it's not on his instagram..?
