As in new geo, or completely new bike?

All I know is a nw bike is coming out shortly.

Just in:

-New, lighter top tube
-More internal machining on BB/Main pivot cluster for weight reduction
-New chain stay yoke machined for a slight weight reduction
-92 gram weight reduction on rocker.
-New trunnion bearings with dual row bearings for double the load capacity
-3 piece rocker design for lighter weight, tighter tolerances and greatly reduced manufacturing waste material
-Clevis mount on seat stay/rocker interface for stiffer rear end, and eliminating one uncommon bearing size. The rear end will now use four of the same bearings.
-Easier to service the bearings
-Seat stays mount further inboard for more heel clearance and slimmer look. 10mm narrower per side

I think so. From the pic, the straight and smaller top tube is a giveaway.

I exchanged some emails with the fellas over at REEB....everything detailed above is 100% correct for a total frame weight saving of ~0.75lb... geo remains unchanged, therefore they feel it pedals and performs the same as a V3. I have a V3 and love it, so I'll likely stay put for now and wait for a V5 :)

Hi all,
Happy to report that this bike is currently out. Im happy to share details on mine as I have been riding it since october, have several hundred miles on it so far. There are several differences between this version and the #3 version, I believe a previous poster has already listed them.

This is my first soft tail in several years and one of the best bikes I have ever ridden. I have ridden several other bikes in the few years since I stopped owning a soft tail and this bike stacks up very well against builds from larger manufacturers. The purchase process was very smooth, the wait time was long although that isnt something that is Reeb's fault in any way shape or form. They have been great with support in getting me the correct parts (It shipped with a dropper that was just a bit too tall) and they got one sent out asap that is perfect at this point. Ill post pics in a bit as im taking care of some other stuff, just noticed this post today.

Man That is turned up to 11. Nice build.
Can anyone compare how this bike rides in comparison to a GG or Canfield bike?

I concur. Also, I would like to see in depth mainstream reviews of both the Squeeb V4 and the GG Pistola.
My interest is now pegged on the REEB steel prototype they built for the Sedona MTB festival.

Suspension behaves more like GG than Canfield.
