I think it is discontinued? You can search for it and get a link to the 2021 model, but it does not show up in the list on their website. Without a doubt Kyle will show up on the new version once he is riding DH again.
There is a 2022 model on the UK site, and I've just had confirmation from Vitus that a 2023 is coming at some point (looking to buy one)
On the other site, it mentions Charlie Harrison joining Santa Cruz in a development role... Vid on Insta with him riding that white SC with the green Lyrik.
I can confirm that an australian enduro rider that used to race DH, a canadian enduro rider that recently left an american brand factory team, a german enduro rider that left a german brand after 9 years are ALL part of a new Factory team of a big German direct-to-consumer brand. They've been shooting and shuttling in Finale last week.

Jack Moir, Christian Textor and Kasper Wooley on the YT Factory Enduro Racing team for the 2023 season!
Wow that's a crew of absolute shredders!
I'm especially excited to see what Chris Textor can do, now that he's finally on a proper bike. He's a real work horse of a guy, quiet and humble but gets big results. Multiple top-20 EWS finishes over the years, multiple times national enduro champion, former national DH champion, etc.
I wonder if Jack and Jesse are just waiting to see who drops first. Playing chicken with their new team announcements. Maybe they bet on who would slip up and get leaked first.
Nah just the marketing departments waiting to have some photos and videos for a bigger announcement. Possibly the team equipment hasn't been fully confirmed at this stage.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Jesse went out and bought a Canyon, and maybe got RM, and the rest of the team involved and has been getting all of us?? Because why would you let a champion go?
that would.mean he has pulled the greatest troll off. Again, a champion.

The actual question is: Why would a champion let YOU (- as in: the team he came up with) go? Especially if the combination of rider, bike and teammates works this well.
This is obviously pure speculation, but I bet it comes down to money.
RM isn't a big brand, they don't sell that many bikes in the grand scheme of things. I don't think they can afford to pay him a big salary. The ugly reality of it probably is that Jesse has been doing it long enough just for the love doing it. He's probably at a stage in his life where he (additionally to just being a fast racer) wants to make some bank. Canyon probably simply made a better offer. Not judging though, I think he'd deserve it.

Super stoked to see Texi do well. He's got an awesome riding style and seems like a really nice guy.
Sam Blenkinsop on The OTB Podcast to discuss his move to Crestline and his plans for 2023. Plus an epic story including Eddie and Wyn Masters and a borrowed van!
Troydon (Crestline) lives about 3 minutes away from our headquarters. He's a super nice guy and joins a lot of group rides from Transition HQ. Stoked to see this, and stoked for Blenki to be partnered with someone so genuine and into bikes! Troydon is a ripper and rides a LOT. Super rad to see what he's doing, it's a massive undertaking to launch a bike company these days in such a competitive market. Also stoked to see Blenki around here, I'm sure he's bound to pay some visits.
Lars from Transition Bikes here.

Which new Smuggler? Maybe go to the other site and track down @CarbonSmuggler420 to see what he knows? He's always sleuthing around.
Unrelated to product launches, we'll be dropping some news soon about an exciting new adventure we're embarking on. A young poutine, a younger coffee bean, and three younger salmon's...

Did a bit of a round up of all the 2023 rumours & moves in the latest episode of the pod & discussed a few people who haven’t been mentioned much but had strong 2022 seasons e.g. Austin Dooley, Antoine Rogge. Feedback on Brook’s section has been incredible too…

So Warner is running full Hope set up and Michelin but what’s this frame?
Last three letters are "ant" so maybe "eggplant" - all hail the egg!
More specifically, he is on a Reign Gee-an-tee - headtube badge gives it away
So full circle for Rob...
And he has just uploaded this gem
now that Paul the punter realised he cant bike theres a spot for Rob back at Giant.
