Does make sense. Is it the top part of Andorra or Val Di sole that has a real slack top section? There have been som puzzlig on that track to get it right, or that they go for a comprimise either at the top or bottom. Dual compression/rebound circuits like Push ind. does?
Something along the lines of what Push do with 2 independent compression and rebound circuits and being able switch between the 2 electronically would be pretty awesome.
We could easily ride hardtails if we ride what we needed. But isn't it fun to buy stuff, ou don't need but want that is just over the top, but is really cool? 😎
Yeah, Andorra was like that, smooth and relatively flat at the top, then it dropped in like a mofo. But it could also be a different setting for when the shock heats up. Or when the rider gets tired. Etc.,etc.

I also want double crown on my trail bike, but it will be too much heft on mellow trails
As for the Öhlins TTX36, it seems it is adjustments on the fly rather than two fully isolated compression valves with individual tune. Isolated valves seem to be even better than adjustments in my opinion.

I think at least one of the canyon boys might be running something different than air inside the new boxxer. scroll to around minute 6:33. There is number 8 rider, I think marc wallace, who pulls for the 40ft-ish huck and you can clearly hear a top out spring noise, similar to the sound the older version (from 2010 onwards) of the boxxer used to make when then rebound is to fast when running the coil spring setup with the topout spring. Race Only and NSR are working on something coil looking for the new boxxer i think. this could be a hint for the boys running them strong dual rate springs from race only.
Hate to be devils advocate But my DVO Diamond makes a similar noise when I run too high of a spring rate, not enough rebound and too little negative preload. I recon it's just a fast rebound with a smaller negative spring.

Push has just 1 rebound circuit, which is all you need as you’ve only one spring...
I think I just worked out the Bruni mystery. He's running an eccentric BB in the forward position. Which would firstly give him a longer rear centre but secondly it would completely skew his Anti-squat numbers. The demo Is know for a high Anti-squat about 130% through the whole travel creating a lot of pedal kickback. Therefore Loic can use the eccentric to create a lower pedal kick-back and lower Anti-Squat but compensate for the losses with a compression lockout.
Moving the BB by a few mm will change the antisquat by a couple percentage points at most. And I highly doubt it's 130 % throughout the travel... Antisquat numbers usually fluctuate wildly depending on the length of the linkages and the resulting movement of the instant centre of rotation. And the chainline.
I am sensing sarcasm in your post, but I just wanted to clear it up for anyone not seeing it.

fair enough! But I was running the both the debon air and then coil in the new boxxer RC2 (its possible but the way to do it is not ideal and risky!!! Would NOT recommend running the old coil kit in the new Boxxer, this causes several issues!) Anyway, the sound wasn't when I was riding with debon air (even with fast rebound) but appeared only during pull ups with the coil kit innit. I am pretty much sure he runs coil, but as anytime, can't just open up his boxxers haha
The difference in the sound between debon air and coil kit comes in my opinion:
1) Debon air has an air controlled top out device while
2) the coil has an steel spring top out device
When he pulls on his bars the coil fully extends and hits the steel top out spring while if you pull out on the debon air kit there is hardly any noise or force you may feel or hear.
I think Mark Wallace has always experimented with a coil fork, using progressive springs. A few months ago I saw an ad on PB buy and sell, where the Owner of Dumbar cycle (not sure if I remeber right) was selling his bike with a converted coil fork. The ad stated that the coil was progressive and came from Wallace himself.

I bought Dean Lucas's 2014 worlds Wilson, Has a 2015 pre production world cup fork, but inside was a coil from an RC model. We pulled that bike apart at the shop and were gobsmacked at all the unobtanium shit on it. Later, I found out it was a test mule for the 650b bikes and explained the weird linkage and rub marks lol.

Cool stuff. Think a lot of the ews guys did/do ride with the luftkappe
To me the new Shorty looks like a more refined version of Maxxis Medusa:

It looks alot like the medusa but I think it might be the new shorty because maxxis still sell the medusa as an xc tire and Vali was racing DH on it! Also someone earlier in this thread said Minnar said it was the new shorty. https://www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-300-143-medusa

Yeah true! But awesome, would love to see some other tires from the past like OG High Roller

Yeah that's what Vorsprung said... and I've got mine from the best or one of the best EWS rider! They can't talk about it because of Sram but yeah... lol
So what bikes should soon to be released? We saw the Cannondale Jekyll, Norco Range(?), Nukeproof Giga(?) and the long travel Forbidden all with a carbon frame, so it shouldn't be long until they get officially released right?

I think it depends on manufacturing. The delays this year really set things back. I know Norco was wanting to release all their new bikes way earlier in the season (from source at Norco) but delays and lack of events killed their schedule. They don't want to release bikes that aren't available to be put out in the wild

It's the most plausible answer to me atm.

Any news about the new Nomad?
