Curious if that is the Epic or a totally new model. Only reason I think it might be a completely new model is that I'm not sure if that new frame/suspension design would translate to the Epic Evo. I could see Spesh making this a strictly "XC race" frame and making the Epic/Epic Evo a dedicated "Downcountry" platform.

they might be going for a model to run alongside the Evo since the evo is what they have been racing at the cape epic. This could be an epic HT replacement. Sounds like trek is getting a longer travel xc bike for their riders soon --- haley batten was racing it and she usually sticks with the HT than full sus
this model is mostly supposed to replace the "regular" epic, it has a bit less travel and is more xc race oriented. Epic Evo will stay pretty much the same for the next year except some small refinements

I'm curious what the refinements to the Epic Evo would be, if they added 10mm of travel, 20 mm of reach, and a SWAT box it would be my dream bike.
I don't remember which article it was in, but one of them stated that this 'effectively eliminates the need for Super Boost'... I'm curious to see what happens with that and if the companies with Super Boost bikes feel the same.

I just got the 2023 model, which does not have those updates. We can expect headset cable routing, read somewhere a wee bit more travel up front and probably slightly updated geo with storage.

Thanks. Sounds like I should hold off and see what they release.

That's a decent amount of change even though it doesn't really look like it visually. Call it whatever you want, evolution, refinement. It's not just the same bike with headset routing. Did you want a whole new suspension layout?
"Seems".
I didn't have the article to go on when I found the photos. Put some ice on that chubby.

So axs linkglide? Looks nice, price is meh. Those XO cranks are making me a little hot under the potato right now though, dayum.
New SRAM brakes are out too, details on the other site
So would that 104 BCD E-MTB chainring work for old Quarq?

Also in Vital's drivetrain article.
The Cane Creek Full Dentist cranks have also been released:

Sram did an oopsie and has this image up on their website highlighting the new XXSL drivetrain with Level ULT Stealth brakes
The Sram video also clearly shows a similar view of the new epic

That is an incredibly long shock body relative to the the stanchion, maybe the new brain system in housed in there

Any updates on the new intend brake system?
It seems like the announcement countdown on youtube was a non-starter.
I just got the 2023 model, which does not have those updates. We can expect headset cable routing, read somewhere a wee bit more travel up front and probably slightly updated geo with storage.
Seen in the video released today by Santa Cruz, perhaps the final design and official color of new V10?
Thanks. Sounds like I should hold off and see what they release.

Can't see anything showing up from there just yet. Seeing it is Release Tuesday* today, it seems logical to wait a while.
*Releases today include:
- Canyon Neuron
- SRAM Transmission
- SRAM Code-levers
- Level 4-pot
- Cane Creek Wings
- Guerilla Gravity bike lineup
- TRP Evo drivetrains..
Phew
