The goat’s bike had a different rear end on it for the win. It was red and did not have the aluminum length adapter on it. Wonder if they got a mold to make the desired CS length without the need for an adapter.
Im curious to know this also, if anything that extra long rear end he usually uses would of been perfect for such a flat top and bottom track surly ?
Maybe he broke the other one and they only ever made him the one not expecting a failure

The GOAT hasn't ridden in competition for a few year now due to getting cancer twice...
You must be talking about the wannabee GOAT Greg Minnaar who has a LONG LONG WAY to go to even catch ACC. He ISN'T even the GOAT of DH in the men's category!
You claimed that Commencal hadn't stopped making model year bikes. I disagree and gave the example of their DH bike. Yes they still put up year numbers but there is a 2020 model, a 2021 model a NEW 2021 model etc. Thus it is only year model on paper not in real life.

Like you said, they have model years posted right in the bike name and in the bike picture. Not making model years would mean 'Commencal Supreme V5' and sell the same bike for 2 or 3 years, colors included. The 2021 bikes have new colors compared to 2020 bikes. And if they released 27, 29 and mullet versions of their DH bike... All in 2021... How is that not a model year anymore? ANd who says the 2, 29 and mullet versions won't get new colors in 2022? Will the fact that there are three options of the bike always negate model years? Because then the Sight from Norco also doesn't have model year, because 27 and 29 options!!
It's like saying BMW's 3 series (before they started making the 4 series...) didn't have model years because they had a limousine, a touring, a coupe and a convertible...

Anne Caroline Chausson has more wins than Minnaar. He is not the greates of ALL time. He is the gratest current, though. Nico Vouilloz have more overall world cups and world champs, though, and "only" 16 WC wins. ACC retired from world cups, when she got tired of winning.

This was in his and the Syndicate's Insta stories. He switched back to a standard (read: shorter) 29 rear end to get more maneuverability in the tight corners.

Greg is the GOAT because of the number of wins over such a long career. Greg was racing before some of his competitors were even born. Nico and Gwin no doubt have enormous achievements and a similar number of wins but in fewer years, which in a way is even more impressive, and Gwin is basically the one responsible from resurrecting DH out of the early 2000s dark ages and bringing the competition level to what it is today. And no need to comment on Nico. But his career was half the duration Greg's has been. So sure, he won a total of more races in a shorter period, but Greg's longevity - and his ability to consistent podium contender for 20 years - is what no one can rival.
ACC in her prime was unreal. There were a few events when she raced in the men's category. But the level of competition has never been the same in the women's category as the men's, with a win easier to come by. Same goes for Rachel, who also has a well-deserved spot at the table - she racked up so many wins because there were only three competitors.

To add to that, i don‘t think the competition was as tight when nico did his wins as it is nowadays
Apart from that, sam hill is the GOAT, because riding clipped in is cheating ;-)

What about his cranks? Proto Saint? The have no branding on them but look similar to XT M8000 cranks
Unbranded cranks, prototype Saint derailleur, but XT levers and XTR calipers...
The former items would point towards a new Saint gruppo in development, but maybe brakes will not be included? Seems awfully strange in general for a pro rider to choose to pair an XT lever and XTR caliper in any case.

Loris has the same on his bike, including an XT shifter. Saint has Shimano's "M8" designation, which is XT level. It might have something to do with that.

Right. Actually, Sam's career has been almost as long as Greg's and he's still winning races, too.
Did anyone else notice that when Bruni entered the finish he pointed to the rear shock to his mechanic. He then kept his hand firmly on the left hand side of his bars for a few moments. Probably holding down that button which we have sen pics of. Thoughts?

I remember Seagraves runing ZEE brakes few years back because they apparently liked them more than saints? Might not remember correctly tho...

It isn't a model year if they come out with a 2020 bike a 2021 bike and a new 2021 bike all in the space of a year. It's the same model the DH one but with different geo, kinematics, spec and colours!
Maybe the XT levers have a bit more metal in them (being cheaper and all) and thus being a bit more stiff, giving some more power...
Maybe the XT levers have a bit more metal in them (being cheaper and all) and thus being a bit more stiff, giving some more power? Just a thought...
That used to be my set up for just that reason. XT levers were super cheep on line and worked fantastically with Saint calipers. You can get a really nice early bite resulting in lots of moderation room.

Same model does not compute with different geo, kinematics, spec and colors. Same is same. Different is different.

You must be talking about the wannabee GOAT Greg Minnaar who has a LONG LONG WAY to go to even catch ACC. He ISN'T even the GOAT of DH in the men's category!
How is Greg Minnaar the GREATEST OF ALL TIME? Because he has 22 world cup wins? He doesn't have the most world championships nor the most worldcup overalls! Aaron Gwin has 5 overalls and so does Nicolas Vouilloz. Bruni has the same number of world championships as Greg and Nicolas Vouilloz has 5 more or 7 if you count the junior ones. So tell me again HOW Greg Minnaar is the GOAT? Because Rob Warner says so? The same guy who suddenly forgot how to pronounce Val di Sole after years of saying it correctly? Give me a break.
Now don't get me wrong Greg is an AWESOME rider and I was super happy he won but he isn't the GOAT.
And that is just in the mens side because if we start comparing to the women...it gets even worst for him.
Coming back to Nukeproof, I just checked if there was any info on another bike to be announced from them soon and found this:
I don't know if it means anything and it goes straight to a 404 error, but if Nukeproof is already preparing their website with dedicated pages for the GIGA, then it could be announced pretty soon?

We had the same debate in a local forum regarding F1 and the GOAT there. WIth people claiming Hamilton is not the GOAT, because of X Y and Z. Turns out people have different views on the matter so debating about it on the internet is a completely pointless thing to do. Given your arguments why Minnaar is not the GOAT, I can use the same ones for either Nico, Gwin or Bruni - neither of them has as many wins as Greg does... And we can do this merry-go-round indefinitely.
On the other hand, most people actually do say the GOAT is Greg, as the GOAT before him, again, by 'public vote', was Peat when he had the most wins. And all of the riders in the WynTV were saying he's the GOAT... If people competing with him he's the GOAT, who are we to judge? In the same manner more or less all F1 drivers say Senna is the best of all times. But the record books say otherwise.
See, a merry-go-round.
As for Commencal, which 2021 bike is wholly new compared to the 'old 2021' bike? Did I miss something? And no model years implies, like I already said, multiple years of selling _the_ _same_ frames, colors included.
Great ride by the GOAT
