Anybody got any advance news? I've heard it's a big wheeled ASR5 but I'm hoping they do the same as the Arc and put the larger sizes on 29er wheels. If they do, I'm definitely getting a carbon XL!
ASR 5 29 would be my dream bike. So it won't be that.
A proper go at an SB 27.5 bike would be a start 🙂
lets hope it meets the approval of hora.
It'll be a new 575 with 26" wheels and a 'knuckle' in the frame.
ie. a proper bike, not a fashion item 😀
SB76 at a guess.
I thought 29 was dead ?
SB96?
SB96?
and carbon

I don't know - as soon as he said he fancied a Banshee Rune, I suddently went off the idea!
Whatever it is, I won't be able to afford it!
Will it come pre cracked, to save the uncertainly of "will it, won't it"?
They've been developing a proper 160mm 650 bike to replace the SB66 (as opposed to that quick hash-up they did with the SB76). It'll be that.
if its 650b, in carbon, with 160mm up front, and available in frame only, in Turquoise - i will definitely be putting one in the basket and hovering over the confirm button until they'vve sold out.

No Yeti fatbike yet......
another bike Graves can win on?
XC hardtail/AM/Enduro/DH?

He does seem to be able to win on anything. Enduro fatbike? 🙂

It's ok, they will be on CRC heavily discounted in 6 months :p
I read somewhere they were working on an enduro bike with the rail suspension design. Might be that...

A nice turquoise steel 29er would be great.
A 650b bike that their team riders will actually ride? That must be pretty embarassing tbh.
Hmm a carbon sb75. I couldn't help myself if that happened. Or a carbon 100 race/Xc bike. Wowsers.
I have heard that they are redesigning the SB66 for next year to stop the eating bearings issue.
This would make sense given the sponsored riders still mostly use the 66 rather than the 75.

Agreed, 75 was a rush job at best. Although tbf, there were lots of dissenting voices when SC riders were forced off their Nomads and onto Bronsons...
Love it to be a cyclocross bike, if it is I will then be able to post do you fund your racing with credit.

Given that the SB66 was discontinued this yeat, I doubt that.

he said sponsored riders, not gullible consumers
HHEEEEEEEEELPPPPP!

Interesting, not as exciting as I hoped...
Nice, but too much travel.
That looks awful. And expensive when it goes wrong.
I like it...
But then (as discussed the other day) it will obviously suffer the opposite issue to an Orange in that it is a bit OTT in the fancy and technolomolical stakes... Buy it, love it for 18 months, flog it on before you have to sell a kidney to fund a new bearing kit...
Cookeaa - the switch infinity bits have a 5 year warranty apparently!!
At first glance it looks vulnerable and over-complex.
Time will tell, but I wont be an early adopter.
All these bikes that chase a 'perfect axle path' which includes ant-squat chain growth certainly make me appreciate my Maverick with it's completely neutral pedalling. I don't really understand why there aren't more alternatives.
The current GTs look interesting - I keep meaning to look at the theory behind them.
I like it, a 26ib trail bike is pretty impressive if it rides like they say.

Then I revise my statement.
Buy it Love it for 4.5 years and flog it on before you have to sell a kidney to fund a replacement "switch infinity" kit...
Anyone owned a 303 long term? how did those get on?
That's very clever in terms of the kinematics - the old switch could only move the pivot in a semi-circle whilst this moves it in a diagonal line, so the system can be much better controlled. However it looks a nightmare if you ride anywhere with sticky mud (seems to be a pretty common thing in enduro racing on the natural trails!) and I doubt the 5 year warranty covers stanchion damage from filthy rides...
Now that I've calmed down...:
I'm with Nobby. I wanted a bike he GT Helion. Cest la vie. Also though, isn't the yet range now steeped with blurred lines between travel and application between this, the '66 and '95?
Oh god, not another Kona magic link.
Horrible. I feel a little bit sick.
It does look like a mud magnet - and one which is fiddly to get to so the temptation to blast it to buggery with a jet wash will be high.
I hate it. THANK YOU JEEEBUS!
Magic link was a bit different in that it adjusted travel depending on body position.DezB - MemberOh god, not another Kona magic link.

This is just a way to get an axle path. It probably has more to do with avoiding other people's patents than anything else.
They even paid to license Switch, although they've obviously had to involve Fox with this too.
I have to say I really like that...which is a problem as I have just finished a big project that I have been working my ass off on and now we are coming up to almost a full years pay in one month...
6000usd though so it's pretty much going to be £6000! ouch. How much for the frameset I wonder. I would rather build my own with some LB carbon rims and all the finishing kit I already have.
