That’s pretty dope! Some real talent for sure. The chain stays are very high. A true “high pivot”
The new boxxer is definitely 38mm. We will see an overhaul of every RS product in 2022. The lowers will all take design cues from the current zebs. Some new damper things happening in there as well

Pretty much the only reason I follow this thread at this point in time.

If you are old like me, it's sad to see what was the pinnacle of DH performance bicycles to become a shell of it's former self.
Back in the late 90's early 2000's the Intense bikes were like the Commencal Supremes of today, if you were on one, your chances of doing well were increased greatly, they were that ahead of the competition in every way and as you probably know, other companies would slap their stickers on a M1 frame. You were the shit if you were on one!
Here in Australia, they were prohibitively expensive so we would buy Giant ATX DH's (I had the poverty green and blue one) as it was the only thing that came close.
Good times lol.

I don't think the shock will be mounted that high. The split bottom of the downtube suggests it will be tucked in there.

This just showed up in the local market, they must be following this thread!
I've sat here, with crinkled brow, trying to figure out why you would be disheartened by someone taking a publicly shared image and painstakingly converting it into this image.

That's quite 'well known', we've discussed it here before - look at the Flight Attendant models, the Zeb, Lyrik and Pike all have updated lowers (Zeb gets the vents, the other two are all new), plus we've seen Charger 3 spy shots from the Blackbox riders on the WC DH a while ago.
Transition teasing a release for tomorrow (March 8th). Ebike?
My guess is the aluminum tr11 that nico teased. Transition almost always leads a release with teasers and I’ve yet to see anything definitive towards an ebike.

you can smell the shimano chain grease, and the human's heart at 630 beats per second.

i'm not sure it is the TR11 since the clip starts with them pedaling up a hill. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think it is an updated TR11.

Idk if itd be a DH/free ride bike. Looking at the teaser, it’s two dudes in a drone shot absolutely hauling ass uphill, standing and mashing on the pedals. I’d guess either a new ebike or an updated spur (even if that’d be a bit early they have no availability/expected restock so wondering if a new one or an aluminum one is on the way)
Are there any murmurs about Sram drivetrains? 1x11 came out in 2012, 1x12 came out in 2016. Is AXS (and GX AXS) all they are doing for the foreseeable future? Surely there will be some updates? The 42-52 jump is horrendous, I'm guessing some clutch updates could be made (road groups have a hydraulic clutch?), Shimano's HG+ is quite a gamechanger (even more so for e-bikes, given their additional power), etc.
Hopefully electric derailleurs don't become the norm like they have with road groups (as in electric only...).

I'm guessing it's either a "Please stop - I can't bare to watch it all go so wrong for intense". Or it's a "Please stop - your linkage is so ridiculous it's actually making me laugh". Either way I think he makes a good point.
Imagine getting excited about an ebike release, then its mediocre at best, then trying to convince yourself that its cool because the brand.
Yeah you should see the Pinkbike comment section. A bunch of sad weirdos trying to defend the bike because its made by Transition and they dont wanna accept that their favourite brand screwed up.

I'm not at all an e-bike advocate but looking at what they did doesn't really bother me. It's basically a sentinel with a motor. I could be wrong but I'm assuming that there wasn't a huge amount of cost involved in the design. It seems like all these manufacturers are hopping on the ebb boat because it makes them a shit load of money. If they are able to make some cash off this thing and dump it into still making sweet bikes, and paying cool riders, and making cool videos, then it seems like some pretty sound logic.

How exactly have they screwed up?
It follows the same design language as there rest of their range.
The only noticeable issue is the stupid Acros headset
