Who the hell cares if it's Kashima or not, you're looking at an unreleased bike. And yes, that is Remi. There are some forum posts on the other site with an image of the suspension design of the bike if you are wanting to go looking.

But a tech rumor would be a factory fork with black stanchions
I am super stoked about this one, mine should be arriving just before they release it.

When fox initially dropped the 38 to factory riders it was all non-kash for testing until race season. Something new on the way?
I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but Jordi is on the latest Downtime podcast and said they have "a bunch of cool projects" this year, so maybe?

It could just be the photo quality (or lack of it) but it also looks like the fork has the older style square lower leg arch as opposed to the current rounded arch Fox has going on.

Also lines up with the sales Fox has had running across most products, and the confirmation of an updated Grip 2 damper.
The updates to the Grip 2 seem to address the biggest flaw. As you add compression damping the damper starts to spike and gets a harsh edge to impacts. I notice it, but I'm sensitive to it because of nerve damage in my wrists.

Good catch, it also doesnt look to have the bleed valves.

Any more rumours/pics of the upcoming Spesh Enduro? I keep hearing it’s only a seatstay upgrade to UDH, but previous talk on here suggests a full redesign?

Yes - in the roller door podcast from SC. They mentioned to have received new prototype Saint cranks in Les Gets / Andora/ Loudenvielle (cannot recal which venue it was). They immediately went to a O chain with the new direct mount.

I hope this means that Shimano will make a 104BCD spider for their direct mount cranks, as the only ones that are available currently are aliexpress ones, which I wouldn't trust on any crank never mind a downhill spec crank like a Saint. I am assuming there is a reason why there are no good aftermarket options but I'd love to know why, because I know I would buy one if it existed!
Also does anyone have any updates on the upcoming SRAM Maven brakes? They've been out in the wild for ages now, and look to be relatively close to production
I would assume the new direct mount Saint would just use the direct mount chainrings as their other direct mount MTB cranks. Just curious, is there...
I would assume the new direct mount Saint would just use the direct mount chainrings as their other direct mount MTB cranks. Just curious, is there a reason why you would prefer a direct mount crank -> spider -> 104BCD chainring over a direct mount crank -> direct mount chainring?
If you smash the chainring, you don't end up bending a spider. Just replace the ring and carry on.
It's a whole new hub design that seems to have a lot of merits.
That’s pretty damn cool. Good video too. Bummer about the proprietary rotor, but not a huge deal...
I’ve been on Onyx hubs for a couple years now and it’s really cool to have a silent hub. A bit unnerving at first, but now I’m not sure I could go back to a ratchet style hub. I would’ve liked to have heard his comparisons on those types of designs.

Grip2’s biggest flaw is that the HSC adjustment does nothing. Watch the Vorsprung video in the 38 if you don’t believe me. However you might want open up on the LSR because on the Grip2 too much will cause harshness as it acts as a choke/orifice on the mid valve the more you add.

Vorsprung are a bunch of clahns, ride the grip 2, the Hsc works. Theory doesn’t always match reality.

Agreed, I can definitely feel a difference in the HSC settings on my 38. Too little and the front end will feel more knifey and oversteer in hard cornering. Too much HSC and the front end doesn't settle and kind of understeers in hard cornering/ heavy load situations.
The point about rebound is moot IMO. My 38 even has the low rebound "traction tune" and I run it close to fully open. I have a factory 34 on a different bike, rebound is nearly fully open. I had a coil 40 on my old Glory, and I ran the rebound almost open on that too. Fox rebound damping is pretty heavy for the most part. As a bigger guy, I'm amazed that lighter riders can get their stuff to work good with stock tunes.

When’s that embargo date?? Dying to learn about this one
Suspension layout looks quite similar to Santa Cruz?

Definitely not the Blur rear end. But looks too big to be from a Tallboy.
It's simply the old Blur 2018-2021.
Good catch, it also doesnt look to have the bleed valves.
Ahhh good eye.
That is Keegan's bike from his White Rim FKT in 2021, as shown here:
https://mbaction.com/monster-energy-presents-fastest-known-time-keegan-swenson/
Not sure where you saw it but it must have been a repost.
Your are right, strava served me an old post. I didn’t look at the date…
he posted some rides on a tall boy recently and I was trying to find a photo of that bike
Close but not quite
Hey team, great thread!

ALN teasing the new bike?

Has anyone seen this?

Vorsprung's Fox 38 commentary was based on dyno results.
Cuz dynos are the same as riding a fork, why would telemetry exist if everything could be modeled in a shop
Oh sweet - think that's the same guy who made that vid on Transmission that got linked in here when that came out. Looks promising
Bang on trend take for you. Cheers for the entertainment!
Telemetry is just the dyno on exact track and weight load of the rider.
2glory831rider: you interchanged HSC and LSC :D
