Is it just me or does this HP Rocky have both a double crown fork and a widerange cassette?
That may or may not have been a slayer proto that didnt happen... from my understanding they couldn't get it to ride the way they wanted, which was poppy and playful instead of a full sled
Then apparently they need to contact Devinci and ask them what they did with the Chainsaw in order for everybody to rave about it and still say it’s not a full blown dh-weapon!
You can read on the diagram the 3 curves on the "Evo Mule concept" with 190mm read travel, beside the Slayer and altitude curves.

Some interesting stuff hanging on the wall. Likely the new Altitude on the far right which lines up with the previous (now private) video. Beside it are what looks like the current Instinct / Altitude frame with a penalty box. Perhaps the Instinct and Altitude will have different frames, or it could be a new Element? Then the blue frame with a seat stay brace and what looks like a shock tunnel matching the aluminum mule with a dual crown.

Seems like their mule could use different "main" pivots; one for an idler and one without (and you can see the resulting differences in motion ratio in the graph, with the idler system having slightly lower leverage in the first half of travel and a barely more progressive end behavior). Probably a solid chance we'll see the 'production concept' within a year or two.
You can also see an aluminum e-bike frame elsewhere in the video as well:
This same YouTuber also recently did a tour of the Norco headquarters here...here's the best look at what I think is probably an upcoming 'mid-pivot' e-bike, or at least a prototype of one.

interesting bottle placement, looks like a horizontally mounted shock..

It's a little harder to make out since it's upside down and from the non-drive side, but to me it looks like the lower pivot (when right side up) has been raised above the chainring, judging by the elevation of the chainstays relative to the BB. Sure looks like a successor to me.
Norco could shut down before the new bikes are released.
He did have one on the old strive for a little bit.
That’s only six months for me.
RT-CL900.
Seems to have dropped with the recent 12 speed mechanical GRX and 105.
The recent article from https://escapecollective.com/shimano-grx-rx820-12-speed-mechanical-a-hands-on-look/ suggests that the whole line of freeza rotors is going to this less polygonal shape moving forward, which was introduced with 12spd Dura-Ace.
Looks like while the covers are off on Shimano's website, they're not in any online stores yet (in 180 or 203).
I personally preferred the edgier look, and somehow I guess the polygons would stick out into the wind more.
Here's XT just for kicks too. Here's hoping they make a CL 220 in something higher than Deore, my fat ass needs the cooling.
Anyone know the Rocky Instinct/Altitude embargo date?
Hand is hiding the rebound knob from the new damper
Probably Texi, Jack doesnt use coil shock either, he has a Vivid
Spotted on a Rocky Mountain factory tour (9min40)
Can also see the new altitude briefly being assembled @ 6:38 and black frame hanging @ 7:01
New Transition Repeater full power ebike with the SRAM motor and through the frame routing from the other site's EDR Tech Randoms...
They talked about the high pivot prototype somewhere. Apparently they tried it and didn’t like it so probably not going to production.

Great catch!
Wonder why the downvote. Man’s speaking the truth
I'm guessing it's because it's an ebike. But it's an ebike that used to have cable tourism and they've addressed the issue. That's a win in my book.

When’s a new ripmo coming out?
Soon

Fox +2022 crowns got 4 mm higher. This one looks differently. More like ext.
I'd assume we'd see a new Ripley at the same time.....no?

Any pics of the upcoming Optic/Sight?
Same shock placement as the current Sight VLT.

I have the current Range VLT, that pivot is miles higher. Also it doesn't look like a shimano motor to me.
