It's there to prevent muck from going into the frame, surrounding the dogbone link.

@peecee we've talked about this proto quite a bit, it's a DH version of the 160e bike, there's a link going vertically (-ish) between the bottom short link and the rocker. And your photos confirm that.

I was only sharing as there have been no clear shots of what the actual setup was like just guesses to my knowledge

I was out shooting the Oceania Champs this weekend which Richie won by 4 seconds and 2nd was Sam Hill. 

Interesting setup by the looks of things, chainstay is attached to a link that goes through the frame. PROTO YETI by PC 1PROTO YETI by PC

Someone tell Richie's sponsors that he needs more socks.

And here I was thinking it's there to protect stem bolts 😂

Looks like a reservoir peeking out the top so maybe the new Vivid Air?

That wouldn't make much sense seeing as they've been seemingly fine with showing us the next sort of Vivid for a while now (Jack Moir's Capra video had it out in the open). Could be a coil version?

Is that a weight taped under the bb? And a storage door on the bottom of the down tube?

So... A Super Deluxe Coil?

The battery on the new Reverb overlaps the seal collar. Definitely not the current one flipped around.

The SID on the Epic has the new crown that we've seen on a few sponsored riders' bikes - if this is announced on Thursday should we expect a Rock Shox announcement this week too?

Now that is an interesting idea! Wonder if all the Nicolai owners got together they could get a mould made for bottle that fit ‘em?

All I can say is that Propain is local to my area and someone who would definitley know told me. Despite how it may sound, this honestly wasn't me being cocky, I just honestly can't tell you because the person who told me might get in trouble for breaking the embargo.

I didn't know about that. I was told by someone who would definitley know this kind of thing. Plus, I've seen the prototype on my local trails a couple of times.

I don't know as I don't have any contacts with SRAM/RS. 

What I do know though, is that SRAM is currently working together with Scott to create a wireless version of their TwinLoc-System. Basically like SRAM AXS, but for controlling the modes on a Scott NUDE shock (- as used on the Spark, Genius and Ransom).

Hopefully a new Reverb with a travel option > 200mm...

But I think the price tag will be around 1k at the beginning Sad

They already use bottles for yt Capra, so I don't think anyone really needs more. And that one is expensive enough, no one would pay more than that for such low volume production bottle lol.

“Lol”?… easy there tiger. not everyone can be thinking the big thoughts like “what does a mudguard do?”.

Wait, "split top tube"? Like a side by side twin top tube like below? Or the second image with a second tube below the tt?

Yeah saw that. Why hide it when it's been run in races, and full view for over a month now?

New Tyee would be cool, if it had an option to come with a lyrik or 36 I’d be all over it. Kinda burnt out on seeing 38mm forks slapped on any bike with 160mm. 
 

Also, I wonder what is happening with norco bikes. It seemed like a new optic or sight would be out by now.
