New Epic and Epic Evo are out
No more Brain on the Epic and a bump in travel
Top spec Epic also has the new Flight Attendant XC.
Pricing at least for the base models stays the same

The thing I like most about this though is they’ve ditched model years, just terming them the Epic (Evo) 8.
Not gonna lie, the Evo really intrigues me, looks much more like a proper ‘downcountry’ bike now, similar to the Top Fuel

Might be some good bargains on the old Epic Evo which looked about as perfect as a bike for me before the new one came out. No Brain, 120mm suspension, super light, efficient and decent geo.New Epic and Epic Evo are out

Not wrong, could get this and swap over my drivetrain, wheels and fork and it would have to be a 10kg weapon for decent coin...

No headset cable routing on the new Epic and Epic Evo, lets hope that other manufacturers also move away from this abomination.New Epic and Epic Evo are out

The S-works version still has headset cable routing though, but if you can afford 24k for a bike, then you can afford a mechanic.

I got $3k off my new Stumpy because the new model has the T-type Transmission, and I wouldn't be surprised if the new Stumpy is that far away as it's been a while for a major frame change and the Levo SL (which is basically a Stumpy with a motor) has now a different symmetrical frame design.
That said, I haven't seen any of the brands drastically drop the price of their latest models though. I thought with this "drastic downturn in the cycling industry" there would be some price changes. Maybe they are just hoping that it will just blow over in a few months. Time will tell I suppose.

ASR looks good - well actually I thought it was a Rocky Mountain at first but whatevs. Cushy XC bike sounds fun.
Return of the green (spruce?) colour is nice:
Also, new alloy Atherton looks hawt, better than the carbon / ti one imo.

I don't mind the Ti/carbon ones, the all-alloy looks weird AF though.

I sense a trigger finger getting itchy from a certain forum member...
"Plus, it's good for a bike like this to have at least some sort of reminder that while it's plenty capable, there are limits to the terrain it's supposed to be ridden on." Kazimer
I'm guessing he's talking about Maydena.
Didn't someone here take their XC bike to Maydena….

Yes, and most likely set faster times than I would on a proper sled.
I'm sure he'll out himself soon.
