I have to admit, the "companies are making regular bikes look more like e-bikes so the e-bikes look more like regular bikes" conspiracy theorists just got a little more ammunition with the release of the Heckler SL.
I was thinking that when I recently tried putting a strap around my buddy's Bronson on the back of my truck. The straps on the tailgate pad weren't long enough to get it to velcro back onto itself around the massive downtube. I immediately thought that it was so they didn't have to make new molds to go SL emtb.
Enduro won't be released until Crankworx (Whistler) is what I've heard. STEVO after that.
Lol you mean 10-11 months from now? No way.
Only possible with the Enduro if they pulled the plug on the bike they were about to launch to go back to drawing board to re-design it to match the prototype design Finn and Loic are racing on. The SJEvo on the other hand is already baked in to match the ebike they dropped a few months back.

Or maybe too much inventory and need to get rid of it before releasing new product.

the big 3 have a lot of inventory to go through.....
It's not really like that older slayer and it's not really vpp is all I'll say. Seatpost shouldn't be any worse than any other current bike with low mounted shocks like a Specialized or Santa Cruz.

I thought so but the color and writing on the downtime aren't the same, right? I also was co.paring the suspension link to the cascade and it looked a bit different. I could be wrong. On the custom bike co Facebook page.

Don't think I've seen it be mentioned before, but a lot of riders sponsored by YT have been running the new Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate on the Tues, even though they're built around a 267x89 shock rather than the metric sizing that all of the newest Rockshox shocks use. I'm assuming its a custom item that Rockshox are producing for YT just because they want sponsored riders to be using their latest and greatest tech rather than the now decade old Vivid (although Johann Potgieter was on one at Worlds), but it got me thinking, are there any other current bikes that are still using imperial shock sizing and therefore be due an update so they're compatible with all of the shocks that are only available in metric sizing?

This, i think, is actually a moto-component. Obviously, there’s no problem to figure out how to mount it on a mtb. Mic Williams and his buddies at Trinity think pretty open-mindedly and do come out with some pretty neat solutions for their bikes (and not only theirs, actually!).

Kind of looks like a Knucklebox link on the seat tube also. Hard to tell where it connects to though.

They've been doing that for over a year now.
I actually created an account just to post this. Santa Cruz syndicate tent at Les Gets last weekend.

Solid find, first post, and welcome.
Definitely a good looking tire for loose conditions
Say goodbye to your seatpost insertion!
Maxxis Mary
looks good
Looks like a WTB verdict

When's that embargo over?
Could this be the new enduro?![img 1 1694580005843.jpg?VersionId=y](https://p.vitalmtb.com/styles/s1200/s3/photos/inline/basic/img_1_1694580005843.jpg?VersionId=y.7H1dAcOAtzdxge1MRNRIUylCWwATFn&itok=v8XITPdB)
Looks like the current model no?

The Cube TWO15 HPC (full29) uses a 241x76 shock
The HPA version (full 27,5) uses a 250x75 shock
Now this is a steering damper. https://www.instagram.com/p/CxFKo4_hea0/

New Lapierre Spicy
That’s a really short seattube…
This is somewhat accurate. Specialized will launch a bike in the next couple of days, but it's a new road. No MTB stuff.
Next MTB we'll probably see from them will be the new Stumpy I think.
I like the look of the lapierre tho! Hope they do a shorter travel version similar to it!
yeah it's like the first good looking Lapierre in years
Spicy or Froggy (park bike)? A 240 mm OneUp seatpost is a no go in this frame.
