Agreed, this looks like updated Privateer. Especially given the bolt on cable clips on the head tube, the external routing for the rear brake, uber steep seat tube, and chonky main pivot bearings. Looks like a pair of flip chips, one on the seatstay, and one at the rear axle (presumably for CS length). I wonder if the first is for mullet setup, or just slacker. Hard to tell if the rear wheel is 29 or 27.5 from that angle. Must be close to finished because the chainstay protector looks like a finished product (not just mastic tape or VHS like protos get).

Should NOT post pics from PB. They literally rip off Vital all the time. If people want to search and find their content on their own... fine. But don't reward those pricks with a direct link on the Vital site. Done nothing to earn it.

Does the pink site even still exist? I thought they got bought and shut down months ago? Why do we even still mention them?
The new boxxer was out in the wild for ~1.5 years maybe more (iirc) before they finally released it. New Vivid was only spotted this season...
The new boxxer was out in the wild for ~1.5 years maybe more (iirc) before they finally released it. New Vivid was only spotted this season. I wouldn't hold my breath. Especially with whole industry slowing down and lots of shops and companies overstocked.
All of the Vivids so far look to have been using piggyback assemblies that were originally lockout capable. Jack's and Vali's in particular.
Pisses me off...

Pisses me off that RS decided that I don't deserve a lockout lever because I run a 250x70 shock on 2023 SDUs. I hope I get the option here.
Try to source the different piggy bag assy(11.4118.008.003), any qualified suspension workshop should be able to get the work done.

hah...the fan boi's hit you with the thumbs down. Little do they know...it won't hide your comment. And to their dismay...you can even delete your comment and/or turn off notifications for this post if you want to move on to other things in life. Your comments aren't locked for eternity for some zit faced Euro kid to get offended and re-awaken the hate in 3 years.

Go easy boss, its just a bunch of non-sense mountain cycle stuff.

considering Spomer started the site from scratch, is a great dude who literally does no one harm...and constantly gets his content ideas stolen/replicated/etc ripped off by that specific site...not so much nonsense. Guy is trying to feed a family.
And the dude that owned PB before it got sold was totally OK with the intellectual property theft from day 1. Bikes are fun. Doesn't mean you can be a cutthroat douchebag to the people who love them.

Going off RRPs, that's a $241 upgrade on a $500 shock, (not to mention the workshop time). Sure it's small beans to most decent shocks out there, but I don't like having the decision made for me.

Street price in Germany is about 133€ compared to RRP 261€.
Workshop time shouldn‘t be too bad since its a easy swap during service, which you need to do anyway at some point.
A 250*7x shock is a DH shock most of the time. If you need special products you sometimes have to go a special way, I would say.
It would be nice to be able to spec a shock with all the details. Getting bearing mount aftermarket shocks is a pain in the ass, different damper tunes are a problem (without a rebuild), etc.
Getting a shock for a less known frame can be quite a challenge if it falls outside the 'standard' requirements of medium tune and standard eyelets...

Dude calm down. It's all just bikes. Most of us will probably look at the content on boths sites anyways.
Besides, even vital mtb staff occasionally reposts PB photos here.

To be fair, the Outside buyout enabled them to hire Ben Cathro and a bunch of other pro racers and eventually set up a full-time pro-level racing team, which is possibly the coolest thing any MTB media has done in the last couple of years.

But on the flipside they have disappeared Levy........
Exclusive first look for the Vital forum, we’re spending a couple of days with Fast Suspension, checking out the factory and testing the latest and greatest - including an all-new fork! Full report will follow of course, but here are a couple of shots for you in the meantime:

Can you get some 'Have you seen Levy?' T-shirts made while you're at it?

Pretty sure he's in some murky Vancouver coffee shop doing spoken word poetry about lycra and Mini Coopers.

This could just be a bad quality picture but it looks like the Bomber 58 is getting an update soon, perhaps 29er?
The lowers at least look like they have an arched crown like on all Fox forks.
yup, it's a Privateer. Joe Connell just won ArdRock on one https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/25211161/

Probably just a 40 performance or performance elite with stickers

Interesting little chain guide on Mick’s bike, presumably for HP chain slap.
Lower roller looks the same as the new slash, anyone knows who makes it ?
MXg from MRP... https://mrpbike.com/products/mxg
Coil off a Push? Looks like it has the bulbous centre barrel shape.

Privateer 161 proto, the other site had a quick write up about it yesterday

Geez...so many links in a single skinny chain.
I'd be wanting corporate to put a 9 speed on my bike just for my mental health.
Go easy boss, its just a bunch of non-sense mountain cycle stuff.
Pretty sure this paves the way for the Optic to be a HP idler trail bike, similar to the new Druid.

I hope sram replaces the "Black Box" moniker used on all their prototype or unreleased stuff with "Don't post to Vital".

Is this fork compatible with slow riders?
