Newly Released Bikes General

Jabubu

let you google that for me
Are there any interesting new bikes in the 130-140mm segment? I haven't seen many changes in the last few years, seat tubes and head angles seem to have stabilised and most new bikes seem to just be evolutions of the 2021 designs.
I'm not talking about main stream brands, I'm looking for something interesting.
The new Revel Rascal looks nice - not sure about interesting.

It uses the CBF platform so that's interesting I guess?

I’ll put Scor in the pot. I rode one in Switzerland for a few days in long travel guise and was blown away. Super light and spritely and gave nothing up on the downs. I can only imagine the mid travel is a hoot. I believe they’ve had a frame update for 2024.

Didnt pay $250 for this custom title
Shame the Trinity is DH-focused - that would be fun!

Digit bikes if you’re after something genuinely different and interesting.

You’d have to sweet talk him to sell you a frame only though - I tried and it wasn’t an outright no but he’s pretty open about needing to recover his costs by selling completes.

This has my interest, which one did you ride? It does look like a Santa Cruz with no stickers though...

Interesting but cable routing is NFG

Was a 4060 LT I believe.
I generally turn my bikes into overbuilt plow machines so this was a pleasant surprise to have a bike so light feeling, poppy and capable at the same time.
