Vivid comes aftermarket with extra white stickers in the box (with silvery ones already stuck on), which match the size of what's stuck to the piggy there, because the Vivid piggy isn't branded as such.
That being said, the 23 coil and Vivid piggies are literally identical (as is the SDU Air), the 23 SDU coil has more in common with the Vivid than it does it's namesake.
Yes it is. It has a bypass check valve on the piston in between 2 glide rings along with a shock body that's machined so at full extension only one glide ring is engaged to allow the bypass to work.
Does it looks like like oval chainstay is on Amaury’s frame compared to rectangle? Also an axle mount to chainstay option vs stock is mounted to seatstay.

Are these all recent photos? What's the third image with the seat stay pivot, a prototype Supreme V5?

#nonTech - i'll only spam this thread once, but Vital Downhill Fantasy kicks off this week and since some of you brake-pad-ticklers never leave this forum topic, figured i'd post it here, so you have a chance to win prizes to take apart and critique in here : )

That chainstay does look crazy thin. It seems like they're fighting for every bit of traction for Ft. William, looking for more lateral flex.
Stack-otah's Mondraker Raze set up for Sea Otter dual slalom. The paint job on this thing was incredible. And bars so high he had to file a flight plan.
I was out at the Scottish National Champs this weekend and spotted Joe Connell on a prototype Privateer DH bike. Looks like a custom link?

Privateer have said its running 200 front and rear. I asked what the shock size was and was told "This is a stock 205x60 shock. Out of the box the Gen 2 can run 174mm with the standard link and shock (just a spacer needs to be removed from the standard shock) and we expect this is how Joe will race many UK rounds. But for EU races we might play with some new ideas but all based on the stock 161 chassis"
YT just sent an email out about new Tues. Said the old one isn't coming back (was on email list for restock) and that a new one is launching on May 2nd. Also included a dark picture of new one and it basically looks just like old one but more modern.
If you're using an oval with an idler pulley, doesn't the "clock" of the oval chainring have to be changed?
Yes. So much yes. That also more or less makes it bike specific as the clocking will be dependant on the incoming angle (clock) of the chain coming onto the ring.

Interesting take, you’re probably right. I have been riding a 36T Oval on my Supreme for two years (with and without a lower pulley too) and never thought about that.
But also never noticed it in a negative way that the clocking might be off-set (got an oval on my enduro too)

Chris Canfield has a new company coming, Vampire Bikes. Appears to be a steel front triangle, alloy rear. He said that it will be DH/"super enduro", not unlike the Canfield ONE.2

I believe it utilizes two different patented (one may be patent pending) suspension designs, CBF and another. Not a traditional CBF as it does have a pivot in front of the rear axle where the CBF bikes do not have any pivots in the rear triangle. Guessing it will pedal quite well with the instant center staying on top of the chain ring. Post some more stuff Chris!

Quality pic of the Yoshi clipless
I think he's gonna race them...
Dakota mentioned in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9qzKrRQ77Y&ab_channel=VitalMTBt that he was getting some custom on-off riser bars.
I’m just bummed it’s missing a crossbar and pad
And the obligatory Stack-Norton model name on it
I just installed 60mm risers on my DJ yesterday, those monsters look wayyy taller, so my bet is 11cm
New bike from dhsign: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5yaWeKMWmZ/?igsh=bHpucmJqZWdhZzRt
Trying to figure out where the Bluetooth speaker goes since that bike doesn’t have a water bottle cage
Never change Dak. We’re rooting for ya this weekend!!
Dak said, “tryin’ to git the 50’s”. So that would make sense he wants a 50mm bar.
