Not the Superfoxy but on their bike comparison you can already see their new e-bike replacing possibly the Dusk or Crafty with Shimano 801 motor and the similar trough the seatpost lower link which they first featured on the NEAT. There is also a kids bike on there at the moment similar frame to NEAT and new PodiumIMG 6468

Not sure if this has been discussed, but DVO has a new 38mm stanchion Onyx coming out soon.

They teased it at Sea Otter this last year in both a gray lower that I think looks pretty sweet, and the standard black.

Think I read somewhere that they were getting rid of the OTT? Could be wrong but from personal experience that would make them work a lot better for lighter riders, and also hopefully improve reliability too. Also @Jakub_G they look completely different to any of Suntour's offerings, its only the DVO shocks that share parts with some Suntour stuff as far as I am aware?

The D1 model will have the OTT coil. There's going to be an SL upgrade option which removes the OTT but adds an air chamber.

Ahh that's it, I'd be interested to see how they use the secondary air chamber compared to Manitou and Ohlins, etc

It's a self-equalizing positive/negative with a dimple like Fox, RS, etc.

There’s still a lot of models and sizes in stock on their blowout sale…. Guessing they are still sitting on too much stock to release new models if they’re even ready.

I saw a guy promoting Lewis Bike brakes on several Facebook groups.

They have a website now.

lewisbike.com

The 4 piston brake:

It might look familiar, as Trickstuff has a similar design, but there are some differences, improvements. They have bite reach and bite point adjustment.

I've asked why they don't offer grip holes at the lever blade, the answer I got was:

''We thought that would make the blade not strong enough.''
Also I've been told they offer spare parts.
 
 
 

Cut out of lever body:

 

 

They also have a trails/xc brake:
 

Flat mount calipers to:

That's a freeride bike, awful suspension, seat tube design, as it does not allow long insertion depth.

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.

That bike is configured exactly like the new Sight and Optic. High pivot Horst.

Little birdy may have said Q1 2024. I won't tell you exactly when, but hope that at least holds you over.

These are just rebranded generic Chinese brakes. They are all over AliExpress, sold with different brands, such as Zrace, Onirii, etc.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOU2Hma

 

You can pay 300+ bucks a piece for something sold for ~110 a set just for the brand, but it's up to you.
