Newly Released Bikes General

Can't say ;) That photo is legit though.
:foreheadslap: I looked at this photo 3 times and it's only now just occurred to me what I was looking at...

This doesn't look as bad as it should and I agree that continuing the girth through to the one piece swingarm is a smart move, aesthetically
 
Ibis new logo and graphics are meh. The icing on the cake is the bike stats painted on the downtube. WTF.

Enough of this eeb nonsense!

It seem like adjustability is the new black, and mullets are still in vogue...

Thasks Dr @beeb came here to post that and got caught up with the ugly e thingy. Looks like forbidden and Santa Cruz had a baby.

There are so many bikes now with the shock mounted low and directly in the path of all the mud and debris thrown from the back wheel and yet no one is making guards to prevent all the crud hitting the shock.
Mondraker have been doing it for years with their zero suspension platform, even they had a guard, albeit it was so tiny that I wonder if it did anything...
Is there some sort of conspiracy between bike and shock manufacturers?

It does seem like a hell of footshot. I'd almost think going one step further and integrating a mudguard into the rear swingarm would be goer.
Mud clearance aside, it would be less of an afterthought provided it can be strong enough to avoid any damage.

I put a small mudguard that is pretty well hidden on the rear of the 5010. If you get a small stone riding between the rear linkage and frame that can't escape then could make a mess. I think the Bronson's or Tallboys came with a little linkage protector thingy but isn't strictly a mudguard.
