They are workhorse bikes, not dentist bikes. They have a workhorse team, nothing flashy.
People don't lust after them.
Im on a 2016 glory for bike park duty. It does a great job, doesn't hold me back, works reasonably well. Could leave it laying in the village and it probably wouldn't even get stolen.
I agree though, they don't try and make their bikes appeal to the fast guys, though the new reign looks sick. Kind of turning into what Kona was doing 10 years ago before the new round of Process'.
The modern (2015?) Reign was for sure ahead of the curve, used to see soooo many 2015-2017 Reigns in BC, still see those same bikes but less new ones. Used to have a Glory that was great and reliable.
In outspoken Troy ribbed Bruni a bit about how much they’d ride together if on the same team. In the MSA coverage Wallace was talking about riding more with Finn. And Bruni was also speaking very highly of Fabien.
Maybe all just friendly or maybe some shuffle btwn Canyon and Spec????

Wallace and Finn are both Canadian and "relatively" close with both being from BC, Fabien is part of the French Nationial team with Loic, and I mostly think the boys were just talking race game. I wouldn't look into that too much. But hot damn would a Loic/Troy race team just smoke the competition the way those two are on form.

Bruni grew up in the South region with Loris both looking up to Fabien Barel and Nicolas Vouilloz. Having Bruni not speaking very highly about Barel would actually be very surprising.
It would be awesome if Troy would speak on his contract now, him being one of the first contracts to be revealed of the season. Since he brought up the topic in Outspoken. Be the change you want to see bra!!

Unfortunatley there would be something in his contract saying he cant talk about it, and would probably be penalized by the company in some way if he did.
So do "we" know for sure who's contract is up this year?
Troy, yes and resigned.
Mark, yes and maybe resigned based on his IG post.
Jack Moir is up, is he not?
Laurie, I think so but I do not see him going anywhere. MS has a great rep for how he treats his riders and Laurie has a wicked relationship with Brook.
Jack had a giant intense sell off of his bikes this week.
I really enjoyed the vibe the pre-gwin intense team had and Jack just seemed down this season to not have like minded people on the team. Hopefully he finds that sort of team again if he's going elsewhere.

IFR went from punk rock and to adult contemporary in less than 12 months. Pretty obvious reasons for the move toward the beige and boring...
Hope Jack finds his mojo again at a team better suited to his style.

THIS! The young loud Intense team of Jack, Dean and Charlie was the best ever and definitely the most fun out there. They really seemed to be enjoying themselves and results started to come together. For chrissakes, they were wearing polka dot TLD kits nobody would actually buy and score top 20's on them AND carry a full size grin at the end of each run, not giving an F. Compare that to the utterly BORING image and seriousness of this year.
I get it, they were marred by injuries, but regardless, it never looked like a team, but rather like ”Gwin and sidekicks”. And I say that having great respect for Neko and Jack.
I too hope IFR finds some mojo. And even not being a Gwin fan I hope he gets them some good results.

Right? I'm a fan of all of them, but even when the whole team was out there was just a lack of energy. Even the MOB last year had more pizzaz than IFR did this year. Hopefully next year things turn around for everyone. Shame though, the M29 is really Jacks bike.

Who else?
Loic Loris and Finn made up Specialized Gravity in 2016... Obviously not everyone got a 3yr contract. Could Loic and or Finn be up after 4yrs on Spec?
Luca and Loris have done 3yrs with syndicate... maybe they're up?
Hmmmmmm who was Greg hanging out with on the weekend?
What about Daveboy94... surely a top ten overall draws some attention?

Often teams helping out privateers hints to something for the next year. It could be nothing but you never know.

Is there something between Mille and Kaos?
