Since details are trickling out and the name has been public for a month, figured a new thread was in order.
Here’s a summary I’ve seen posted various places online:
Likely Changes
- 160/160 seems most likely
- Sub 65 head angle
- Nomad style linkage
- steeper seat tube
Wish list (mine only)
- Overforking by 10-20mm
- Fit a Fox X2 rear shock
Release date- I’ve seen a couple mentions between 3/13 and 3/19
Questions-
- Will it replace the HTLT or just supplement it. I couldn’t imagine it doesn’t replace it, but it’s been suggested.
- Does a new Hightower and Tallboy follow closely behind or not? I’ve heard, no Hightower for awhile
Could SC streamline their 29er range to 100mm, 120, 140, 160mm?
