  • As we get ready for what could be a novel dry race in the summer of 2022, we take a look at what new arrivals we have on the World Cup circuit. There are new bikes from brands both big and small but interestingly, there is perhaps an even greater extent of secrecy than usual.

    i can tell you something about the specialized: it has a carbon main frame and a milled alloy rear frame. (i guess this will maybe change and they only have that to adjust more while its in the prototype stage. the frame is hold together by titanium links (atleast thats what it looked like to me.) and it does look like the kinematics are similar to the norco range. Thats what i saw when i talked with finn iles

      I thought my 2015 specialized Enduro was peak MTB, little did I know things would drastically change just a few short years later.

      @@323johnnybravo hmm, well not sure things have changed that much in the past 5 years, or even the past 20 years.
      So the 4 bar linkage is 20 years old, a real high percentage of bikes are still a 4 bar design.
      Coil shocks, not really much better than 20 years ago, with the exception of lockouts and hydraulic bottom out adjuster.
      Hydraulic brakes have not changed in 20 years.
      High pivot point bikes where around 20 years ago.
      The frame made like a I beam style looks just like a Empire AP1.
      Yeah MTBs are better now, better geometry and better wheel sizes, but really overall it's just a marginal gain for a 2 decade time frame.
      The reality is your 2015 bike is still a good bike, marketing makes you think it's not because they want you to buy the new stuff, which is actually just old stuff (high pivot) older design than your 2015 enduro.

    The problem with buying a new bike.... Is that every year they "REVOLUTIONISE EVERYTHING" and make you feel you need to "upgrade" again.
    Obviously an illusion because 99% of us can't even ride at the level where those new improvements makes a difference.
    Humans like shiny things though.

      Yes and no. Although high pivot is not something new but quite rare to be seen on frames nowadays, this tech would definetly help me not to get my knee injured. Im tall and high pivot takes a way a bit of that pedal strike that affect your knees. For most of people its a non important factor, but for me 6 foot 3 tall it makes huge difference. And now when I look at the enduro frames, there is little to no choice. Forbidden, Deviante Highlander and older Commencals. There is not much more to look for and they cost huge amounts of money for a piece of aluminium/carbon. Also all that kind of new tech adjustements in especially super enduro bikes can make your bike almost a trail bike and almost a dh rig depending on how you set your bike and whetever you use flip chips like in Yt capra.

    So, I'm wondering if anyone has seen an enduro bike with the kind of bottom bracket protection as here displayed on the the Gamux DH bike at 1:14, one minute and 14 seconds! Basically, the added requirement over this Gamux Sego DH bike would be being able to slam a OneUp210 in a 470 seat tube...
    I imagine it'd have to be a Pinion bike, with the bonus of no rear derailleur but downside of a little heavier bike.
    I like the Gamux Sego DH S1 bike's geo with variable reach 450 to 470 and chainstay 455/460/465 (of course a bit long for my like being used to 435).
    I feel like the different version of a mountainbike that I am looking for is slowly making its appearance now as 'what a mountain bike is' is reaching maturity in more and more areas!
