Yea, also, on this tire... On the Downtime Podcast he did a week or so ago he said 'tire selection' was perfect for his destruction of the the MSA world cup. He had this prototype on the front for that race. The more land offered by the larger knobs works well on MSA rock. ... The Argotal competitor will be very popular with Maxxis riders this season.

Pretty sure it's just the old 165 with a 29er fork & wheel slapped on it.  People have been doing it since release.  Look at how slack it is (<63) - both the HTA & STA are really raked back.

it is not as the link is inside like the sb160, it's the new one and it's mullet

Yeah, looking at it again you're right (how the upper link connects to the seat tube is like the SB160 instead of the old 165).  Although in the first photo, the linkage is raw silver, so maybe it's just a proto mullet link for a 160?

it could be but give it a few months and the new sb165 will come out

About 10 pages back (I think) there’s some more info on it. 

A photo from Dyfi of a full build 👍

In that Instagram image Jackson also seems to be using a Oneup cockpit, rather than Burgtec. Oneup and Santa Cruz are both Pon brands, so makes sense.

New Norco sight and optic all have this two  paint. Some combos better than others… 
Let’s see how it pans out cotton.

A SPD compatible platform, or a new clipless system?

I noticed that oneup is now listed as a brand under the Santa Cruz website like Reserve are.

Good spot there, had not checked the site. Burgtec still listed on there as a lower tier sponsor (judging by the size and position), I guess they are still a supplier for saddles and other bits that they can't get from Oneup

This explains the new pricing on the droppers.

Knolly’s marketing email this morning said announcement coming Feb 1. Probably the Chilcotin, although the Fugitive is also due for the straight top tube treatment

I must ask, is the bike lighter than it looks? There is not very much material in that bottom bracket junction.

IMO one of the best looking bikes I've ever seen. Super clean lines. Like an Aetherton had a baby with an aluminum WAO.
