Fingers crossed they keep the gold bits on them instead of changing it before production, cause damn that's blingy.

Love my Zeb, but if I was looking for something new on my Slayer, this would probably be on the top of the list.

i fully understand the hate that Maxxis gets from consumers. However, from factory teams like specialized and trek using sharpies, to their tread patterns being completely copied, they are clearly the benchmark. 

edit: i expect to get jumped here, and i accept that. *closes eyes and opens arms*

Schwalbe clearly trying to compete with Maxxis on shear volume of SKUs.  Laughing  Didn't they just release Tacky Chan last year as "the fastest front race tire"?

Yes I know they have air bleeding ports however Boxxer has them solved differently than current Zeb/Lyrik

on transitions post you can see what looks to be a compression clicker - not just a open/closed fial

My guess is there's new Fox stuff coming later this year/next year. There's photos of it a Zocchi printed Grip2 some pages back. I think it was on the Bomber tease they did right before Rampage.

You might then need to clarify what that hate is and who those consumers are.

 

I’m a Maxxis consumer and have no hate for them. Neither do any of my many mates that use them.

Do they have links to slavery or something? Blood Rubber?

Jenson and other retailers seem to want to get rid of current-gen stuff pretty badly. I wonder if they plan on throwing the current GRIP2, or some amalgamation of it, into the MZ stuff. Also will be interesting to see if they will update the current performance/GRIP lineup with a new damper. Praying for a slightly lighter coil sprung MZ with a high end damperSmile

Unless they’re hiding something, the 2024 specs for everything except the Float X2 are on the site already. Have been there for a while. You can order the 2024 service sets now.

If this is from the Taiwan Cycle Show and it's not the SRAM/RockShox booth, then whoever this company is will probably not get sneak previews from SRAM anymore.  In addition, seeing 2-pot brakes with a Zeb tells me whoever set this up didn't put too much thought into what they wanted to exhibit.

Sure looks like the Quarq logo on the air side of Jesse Melamed's fork. Pinkbike reported in November on a SRAM patent for an integrated version of the ShockWiz (https://m.pinkbike.com/news/sram-patent-shows-smarter-built-in-shockwiz…). Not sure if it's already been seen out and about.

What do you want to bet it's all flight attendant compatible and will only be available on new, complete bikes with no aftermarket sales for the foreseeable future.

Sure would be neat to play with though

Integrated shockwiz has been in the manuals for the previous gen Super Deluxe, Pike, Lyrik and Zeb if I'm not mistaken. Haven't seen it in the wild though.

Besides being something totally unique, they mention Jo cable tourism. Where did this nomenclature actually come from? 

I think it was originally posted by mistake on a comment on the other site where when someone typed cable routing and the predictive text on their phone changed it to tourism.

Looking at Jesse's pic... It's the data acquisition top cap with a quark sticker covering it. No special sauce, just sponsorship correct logos.

If it IS a sticker, why put it on the fork unless there are Quarq gizmos inside? (Here's the patent filing if anyone's interested)

Why do teams sharpie out Maxxis logos?

What suspension data acquisition does Jesse run? Anyone remember?
