I wonder if this custom linkage on the factory GT Force will ever make it to production. They've been using it for almost a year now, I think.

Here’s another angle:

Sidenote: I got to ride with Noga once. Arguably on some of the steepest downhill trails in my hood. She was on a borrowed 4 inch travel XC bike. Very talented rider, and extremely fast. A humbling experience.

Anybody know why Steve Matthes of PulpMX posted a cryptic tweet about holding off buying an Intense bike until Monday?

@sspomer nice one with the filename, thought it was Jesse at first :D

Pretty sure Jack takes care of any dirt that might have the effrontery to migrate on to Loic's bike..

I was under the impression the idea was meant for serial production. In that case very few people in the world have a Jack at an arm's length to clean it up... Cue seized suspension, scratched/blown shocks, etc.

..new pedal in the works from Title MTB on Brett Rheeders Commencal?

 

Title pedals are coming, the only question is when. They are already listed at their distributors and will be called „form“ - like their grips.

Less than a second is all it takes Silly

Bruni still running the EX471 rims and Alu bars makes me smile though

That rear wheel does look small though, imagine the upset if he was running a 26” rear Tongue

Looks like a new AXS shifter on Nino bike and old AXS shifter on Andri.

I get what you mean, but Neko's bike isn't exactly low tech! It's impressive what Neko's done on what I imagine is a relatively small budget.

Wasn't the Hazzard Air due to be released for a while now? Were there setbacks in the development process?

As for the Demo: https://i.imgur.com/d3uxQVn.jpeg

My 2 cents. I'd say there's a rocker in front of the BB that is being pulled on by a link going under the BB and compressing the shock. And the pivot for said rocker is covered by the (lime marked) plastic side covers. This picture also pretty much confirms that the lower bolt we've seen in the pics under Finn can definitely not be a main pivot as the chainstay would hit the BB under compression.

Could be wrong though, QED, Yeti DH bike (split pivot and all). Laughing

haha yeah Pulp is number one for podcasts and fantasy but anytime he speaks MTB you can almost guarantee its going to be about the Tazer. I believe its just an alloy version of the Tazer MX through WPS dealers

I'm still holding out on my guess from way back when we first saw it under wraps...seems like it could be accurate?Screenshot 2023-03-20 114722.png?VersionId=FA2xwvpnFTHU0yquVB
