Sure looks like it. There's a remote thingie on the left side of the bars besides the top tube mounted screen. The downtube does look fairly slim though. Fazua powered maybe?

I thought Pierron's head tube angle looked steep, and by my Photoshop measurements (after leveling the wheels), it looks like it's 64.0 vs 62.2 on Coulanges' bike (which looked like the slackest of the bunch).
I don't know if that's relevant or not for any of you, but I felt like checking it out haha!

Whole lot of stanchion above the top crown on Pierron's bike. Looks like they adjusted that before hitting the track.
Really hoping they made the original HA at 63 at least - from they you can make it steeper or slacker (although it’s a mystery to me why someone would like a steeper-than-63 degrees HA on his/her dh-race bike) with an angleset.
I, as an amateur weekend warrior, managed to feel the brutal difference a slacker front end makes on one and the same frame - first the normal 65 HA, then going to 63 HA, before finally arriving at 62 HA by way of custom cups.
Think this is probably the target range SRAM is going for, going forward:
Sid 100-120
Pike 110-140 (30mm range)
Lyrik 130-160 (30mm range)
Zeb 150-190 (40mm...

Lyrik 130-160 (30mm range)
Zeb 150-190 (40mm range)
However, hopefully we get 40mm range so it looks more like. But I think doubtful, since it seems they don't want the Pike going past 140mm and the Lyrik past 160:
Sid 100-120
Pike 110-150 (40mm range)
Lyrik 130-170 (40mm range)
Zeb 150-190 (40mm range)
Any idea of when SRAM will release 2023 models?? Don't want to jump the gun and order a Zeb if there's going to be a 170mm Lyrik.

The Canadian distributor's ETA has various RS forks arriving in the third and fourth weeks of April, and a few in the first week of May. All the single crown product looks to be available by mid-May. Should be similar in other regions, if not sooner.
A new model from commencal or some random render?
Looks like the old v4.2 models but their lines weren't as sharp

Maybe an April fool's joke. If real definitely a step in the wrong direction. The current design is sharp!
Could just be the size (frame looks very small), but the shock appears to be mounted much lower than the current version. Notice the cables are exiting next to the shock mount rather than below it.

Really curious to see how it rides compared to the V1! That's what I am most excited about. I'm wondering if that flatter orientation will help with the action of the shock/kinematics, as I noticed that my V1 seems to get hung up in certain situations. Was speaking to a former SC sponsored rider just recently who said he had the same exact issues that I do with his MT V1, but I still love this bike. Also worried that the eye-to-eye is going to dramatically change and the DHX2 from my V1 won't fit on the v2, even if I remove or add spacers. Guess we'll see more info VERY soon.

I just woke up, my eyes are still a bit sticky, but I wouldn't e surprised if there's an angleset in there. Kinda looks like one too actually:

It would be kinda weird to do that though given the location and the layout of the frame and shock. They are fairly wide as is.

jokes aside that frame is really chonky
