FYI I wasn't pointing at the Norco prototype, but who might be riding it (or the next iteration at least) next season. There is a tiny hint at it on the image caption (and all over the 10 last pages of this forum thread)
yeah, i got that… but he says greg won‘t be on THAT bike in the pictures which i unterstand as there‘s gonna be a new one from norco
Possible team announcncement coming soon ? And it doesnt sound like they are going away

I imagine it's just a 2023 season edit. Something that would have been in the works before the financial issues. Seems (judging by my Linedkin) that most of the key nukeproof brand people have got new jobs already. RIP nukeproof?

Pinkbike guys are on the money I'd say. I remember Minnaar saying in a Syndicate video or something that he HATED the proto high pivot mule they made. Or did I imagine it?

Good point about the season edit, didnt think of that.
maybe they‘re selling everything off with massive discounts… that‘s the account of nukeproof bikes and not their racing team.
The inventory from Signa USA (Nukeproof/Vitus) went to Planet Cyclery / Colorado Cyclist. They quietly put it on sale last week – 50% off on some models.

He did say that he found it a lot more tiring to ride than the standard VPP layout, from an efficiency/pumping standpoint, and that it was slower in timed testing. That's not to say that another HP bike would be the same. Based on how my Range rides, it would be characteristic of Norco's long travel bikes, to say that they aim to maintain speed well as opposed to generating it well. More than one way to skin a cat and all.
Please bear in mind this contains a lot of speculation, and I have no concrete info about this.
What I find interesting about this, are the implications for Norco as a brand down the line. Supposing Norco views DH as a testing ground for technology that they'll then trickle down to their enduro/all mountain/trail bikes, and Greg gets them to make him a proto with a conventional suspension layout, they would then likely want to take that same architecture across the line to maintain a brand image. So over the next say 5-10 years. they would be again swapping most or every bike in their line to a new layout. An interesting proposition for a bike brand in the post covid era.
Missed this as well. Good for the OneUp crew to get a cash infusion and hopefully a nice payout for their hard work bringing quality products to the market. Sounds like a minority stake so hopefully not a situation like SC with Rob Roskopp.

Word is that they were fully bought out shortly after the initial investment.

I recall him saying that he liked it, how composed it was but he didn't find it to be faster anywhere so it seemed to him like it was un necessary. I wonder about course variety, sudden weather changes and more time to adapt as reasons why it would have been a good choice to go high pivot. Greg liked the traditional layout for pumping and cornering.
Jackson said in very well put interview that it was a bit of a shock going away from the high pivot Trek but he got used to the V10 and liked the cornering ability.
And the general public? Possibly would have benefited from the easy going nature of high pivot.
Soo..Greg could adapt to the Norco and could benefit from it in the long run.

Vali will be running the show at yt now I imagine. Bringing in her own partners like Adidas and Troy Lee and keeping SRAM. yt will either keep the other sponsors the same for the current riders or they'll switch to Vali's preferred sponsors.
I thought the Mob riders vould choose their own components, etc.
Vali Höll said in Snowshoe she is sad because she won't work with some brands anylonger. I thought she meant Rockshox/Sram. Maybe it's uncaged in 2024 and she can ride RS/Sram stuff.

as for now they haven't had the uncaged program in dh, but I think they'll be uncaged in 24. Why shouldn't they do it in this category as well?! Seems like it really paid off in EDR

I don't know, Vali would cost quite a bit to get onto the team and with the uncaged program no money is coming in from other sponsors, meaning that YT would have to pay for the whole thing. I don't see how the team would have this much money to throw around with Jack already on the Enduro team, it seems unrealistic to me.
I'm convinced Charlie Harrison is coming out of retirement to ride for Frameworks. He has already been riding both the DH and trail bike and giving feedback to Neko.

I don't think that YT needs to pay for her parts like suspension etc. She'll probably get money from every big brand she'd like to work with in her current position...

I hope that's true. Harrison seemed like he was just sick of being injured and "retired" out of frustration more than anything.
He was always fast when healthy and fun to watch. Was Whiteley his agent as well?

The bike has a SRAM transmission, so not his bike.
Here the rear tire still looks like a DHR 2 to me

Oh my, Cannondale is listed in their holdings under "Sport" instead of "Performance" [SC/Juliana/GT].
I thought the Mob riders vould choose their own components, etc.
Yeah, that's what's rad about the YT setup.
Vali can stay on RS/TLD, Osin and Sian can stay on Fox/TLD, Moir can stay on RS/Fox Head. Life is good.
I had no idea 😂! Their marketing hasn't worked on me so.
Bit of a nightmare on the DH side to stock so many different parts/brands..but hey. Not my problem
Do they really have the uncaged thing in their DH team also? The Enduro team can chose whatever components they want, but the DH team looks different.
E.g. here are the world championship bikes from Oisin and Sian, exactly the same component brands other than the grips: https://themag.yt-industries.com/article/world-championships-2023-a-loo…

Suarez confirmed on Unno.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDFQglsRQow&ab_channel=Alpinestars
So who is the "podium contender" for Frameworks?
Angel was on Unno last year (..?)
I'm convinced Charlie Harrison is coming out of retirement to ride for Frameworks. He has already been riding both the DH and trail bike and giving feedback to Neko.
Never mind, I rescind my comment.
I first read booger's comment as "breaking news, Angel is on Unno" rather than "Angel is not the potential Frameworks podium contender"
It's early here
I don't think that YT needs to pay for her parts like suspension etc. She'll probably get money from every big brand she'd like to work with in her current position...
I hope that's true. Harrison seemed like he was just sick of being injured and "retired" out of frustration more than anything.

recognize...that was an Alpine clip, not Unno...
