doesn't make sense since dak's sponsored by yoshimura.

regarding the "new saint" questions: i saw remi gauvin thanking shimano on IG for 12 years racing on it and he looks foward for what's to come... doesn't sound like a "good bye" to me and there might be some new product soon.

Probalby just a joke from Doddy. However, yoshimura doesnt make bars, and he is sponsored to make a clipless pedal it seems.

But they were taking pictures of OnOff bars before announcement. The whole Freckelgate comes from a handlebar PR pic.

Imagine Shimano releasing a new saint group that looks identical to the one that's been out for 10 years. I'd love that, it would be the best thing they've ever done. 

Saint is dead in the water. What people is hopefully seeing as "new saint cranks" are the to-be-released XTs.

 

Oh, and kiss SLX goodbye also.

I can see them ditching SLX, but not Saint.

They know they still need a DH/FR groupset. They’ll probably just make it an eeb group too

Oh is that why SLX cassettes are suddenly less than half price?

What's coming instead of slx then? Is there going to be nothing between XT and Deore?

I think the Rocky Mountain enduro team may be switching to SRAM. The SRAM product director commented on Remi’s post:

That would make it stiff AF. And Dak specifically said no 35 mm carbon bars because they are stiff.

New Norco Sight and Optic drop tomorrow. Local Norco dealers probably have one hidden in the back of the shop today.

They will have to pry my Saint groupset from my cold, dead hands... Saint 10spd with 11-38 cassette is where it's at.

I'm really hoping one of the guys at Faction is known as Frank The Bonder.

Would make a certain amount of sense. All (or most) of the Rocky Mountain models currently on their website have shimano in their names. This implies the future availability of sram models as well.

First time I've seen reference to the I-track patent on a Norco. Also, I wonder when these wheels are coming out? Cool
