Integrated bash guard. Flat top chain. Doesn't look like taped 5 dev to me, but something being hidden or new?

From the little bit that isnt taped over it kinda looks like the center of the crank is set in a little bit. Maybe to try and prevent paint wear from shoe/foot rubbing
Spitballing here, but I think SRAM may have ponied up some money for this deal to keep Jesse on the books as a development rider/tester, dude...
Spitballing here, but I think SRAM may have ponied up some money for this deal to keep Jesse on the books as a development rider/tester, dude is in tune with his gear and gives good feedback it seems.
saw that, looked kinda like that shapeshifter remote from the strive but he‘s on the spectral.
edit: okay as some have mentioned it's also a flight attended remote.
If EXT would offer “custom tuned to the rider” as standard for their forks like they do with all their shocks, then ya I’d say its got the potential to be up there with the best.

SRAM acquired Hammerhead.. so it could be something new they are working on. the hand does look placed nicely to hide it away. Yeah like Steve was saying like just a breakaway tether to stop you loosing your computer in a crash or if the mount fails.
Don't see how he would run their power meters on a Sram crank on the other hand. Stages made their own carbon NDS crank and aluminium cranks weren't equipped with power meters as the shape of them is not suitable for a power meter. With the rumored holed crank coming it makes it even worse. I do suspect we could see the dub spindle power meter from Sram (Apex? Rival?) crossing over to MTB besides the spider based quark options, but that's still a first party solution, not a Stages product.
Stages recently sold a big interest in the company to Giant, fwiw.
Cycling Electronics is the dumbest market segment. The only electronics I want in mtb is Alex Rankin pointing a VX80 with a fisheye at someone flying sideways.
While being quite a big opponent of electronic shifting and electronic suspension (the bike should just work...) I would buy a DUB spindle power meter in a heartbeat for my MTB. Just to geek out and to see what kind of power I can achieve on the bike. If spider based power meters weren't limited to 32T chainrings (104 BCD...) and would fit a 30T, or the cassettes would increase to ~54T max (enabling me to run a 32T chainring) I'd buy one of those, something along the lines of a Sigeyi off AliExpress.
Do I need one? No. Do I want to try it out to geek over it? Heck yes. It is true though that a power meter running out of battery doesn't affect the riding experience in any measurable way compared to electronic shifting and suspension locking out though.

Clean that Vaseline off the camera lens and maybe we could tell.
Hoping Jesse will post a bike check on youtube soon.
my guess will be not with what he's actually riding until that new stuff is officially released.
It seems like the best fork is coming to the market
There we go. This is going to become the de-facto DH fork in no time.
De-facto in what way?

no they dont offer custom tuning for their forks YET... they have 3 standard tunes for both comp and rebound. same as everyone else basically..
1 day a week of strength training for a few months will put 99% of riders further ahead than custom tuned suspension will

Unfortunately it's made for e-motos
How do you all spot this stuff from clips like that?!?
Weird eyes seeing unimportant (in the grand scheme of things) details.
Any idea what the cable is that's wrapped around his handlebars and maybe going to that head unit.
Likely just a tether.

Jesse did Tag stages cycling though...

Vivid Air 2.0 coming
I think we knew this already. What remains to be seen is whether it’s anything more than a race day shock like the previous one was.
Reliability wise?
Not sure I follow you. Pretty sure it was even an OEM shock at one point on the Santa Cruz nomad.
That's as may be but durability was fucking terrible.
Speaking of (RS) shocks, looking at the specs of the Super Deluxe C1, there's this:

Anybody seen what the 90 deg (also present in the B2 specs) and the 75 deg mount look like?
