Pinkbike's suspension geometry guessing with my IC estimations laid over (the thick lines). This is based on my quoted ramblings on the previous page about the two links connecting to the 'axle link' define the IC of the 'axle link', thus driving the antisquat and brake jack calculations.

EDIT: I'm doubting the correctness of all of this.
I posted this in the PB comments thread already but I had a couple different guesses (I attached the one which seems more likely), although my pivot locations are a little off since I hadn't seen the non- drive side photos.

Good ol' G2 I think. I know Jared Graves used them as they bite a bit better

Yes they’re definitely not 35mm anymore. To be expected imo. Can’t have your enduro fork be thicker than your Dh fork. Not for performance but for marketing🙃

Yes and I can calculate all the anti squat numbers from every blurry linkage photo!

Well Boxxer was 32 mm a few years back, when the burliest SC fork from RS was 40 mm Tongue

But yeah, it was to be expected.

I don‘t think so. They look different around the 6-bolts and also the holes in the surface look different. And are they even avalible in 220?

Looking at the pic, the carrier arms look to be offset a bit or at least darker on every second one of them too.

spotted on myriam nicole's IG story: an uncovered seatstay bidge on the new commencal protos. Looks like its bolted together, not sure if it was to simplify manufacturing or to let them tune the rear end stiffness/damping for performance reasons. Either way an interesting bit and something they're trying to keep covered.

Also noticed that in riding photos from practice, Amaury is running the silver/raw upper link, not the black one shown in previous photos of his bike. Maybe just an A/B bike thing; I don't know how many set-ups each rider on that team has.
