Those protos look better than some finished frames. I love all the spare bolt holes and external routing that clearly makes them better for fettling. We need more of that in sale models.

@Coerced 15 күн бұрын
They ride their sponsors, so whoever pays them the most to ride their products as long as it's competitive. And they'll want that brand engineers to be present at every race so they can do the work required to set up, maintain and fix the suspension at any moment. Custom suspension is far too niche to fit the bill

It has a derailleur and cassette fitted so that's unlikely. I'd guess it's just a bolt on bottom bracket adaptor underneath the cover.

Probably right, but would be a nice smoke and mirrors trick, if they just slapped the derailleur there for distraction and as a tensioner
