My best guess would be a bike suitable for modern EDR race tracks. At least that's probably what their athletes would want them to make. The Ripmo always seemed to bit undergunned for proper enduro racing in regards to suspension and geometry.
Judging by that, it's probably a long-travel 29er (- mullet seems unlikely as all the fastest enduro boys have swapped back to 29ers and Ibis never cared much for mullet anyways). I guess at least 160mm of travel, 500mm of Reach on a size L and a 63° HTA.
If we're poking fun at SRAM marketing, make sure to pay attention for dropped articles in their new AXS press release, too. SRAM hates articles like "the" or "a" in front of their products names. "Lyrik has the most efficient... blah blah blah" or "Zeb is the stiffest... blah blah blah." If you or I talked like that people would think we're crazy. "I drink Coffee® out of Mug® that I put on Table® while I sit in Chair®."

None of this offends me nearly as much as the cringy AF guerilla marketing Abus just tried.

As a marketing professional it is standard practice to not use "the" or "a" in front of a name. Lyrik and Zeb are names. Table and chair are objects. Everyone does this. Look at Chevy and Ford. They don't use the F150 or The Silverado.
I get what you're saying, but even Ford and Chevy refer to "the new F150" or "the new Silverado" in their marketing materials, which proves that no one in the world actually treats these model names as if they're real names for people. They're object identifiers.
I'm not the Charlie, and the Loic Bruni didn't win senior men's world champs last year, but Loic did win on a Demo 8 with the Ohlins DH38.

with all due respect... I'm not sure you get to chose whether you're Charlie or "The Charlie"... in some circles, you very well could be "The Charlie".

Sometimes I don't get the hate Sram receives. We are all arguably on better bikes and better drivetrains because of their push for 1x. One of my favorite bikes ever, the Kona Process 111 was able to be created because of 1x systems (Kona unapologetically designed it without the ability to run a FD). Color me a Sram fanboy if you'd like, but they aren't afraid to shake up the status quo with new innovations. I have AXS on my Spur and run the AXS reverb on 2 different bikes and absolutely love it. I can't wait to see the next-gen stuff.

Tell me you're a sram employee, without telling me you're a sram employee: "AXS reverb on 2 different bikes"
Kidding aside, if sram didn't make that 1x push, shimano would have us all on 4 chainring setups right now. But let's also be honest that sram really did the 1x push because they couldn't make a well working ft der if their lives depended on it!

The FD'ers were pretty bad. At the shop I worked at in College, we would use the rotor trueing tool on the FD cages to bend and shape them to operate better.
Agreed. The Retro logo doesn't work well on the bigger bikes.
For real though.
Serviced three ol Fox Dyads last week. They're built like a tank and seem to last forever. Unlike a lot of the newer Fox boingers.
New AXS dropping March 21?
Yep, worst-kept secret in MTB right now
Anyone wanna go look for it?
EDIT: @vessel_bike_project Prototype bike with a floater (floating brake) spotted at the Southridge Winter DH Series in Fontana, California.

Definitely looks like a mullet in his youtube videos. Doesn't mean it can't do full 29 as well tho.

"the drivetrain of your dreams" ................. Good lord! I've seen some cheesy, over the top marketing before but that really does take the cake!
Is Fox going to release new forks or shocks?
That guy actually hand built that bike, I will drop his instagram below.
@vessel_bike_project
that's awesome!
Maybe it's cable actuated!
The tagline of "Level Up" is just as cringey.

howbout The Loam?
Your evolution into semantics stickler is concerning.

Nino still using the old shifter pod, or doesn't have spares of the new one? PotatoCam screenshot from his post of spares for Cape Epic
