They bought it from Outland IIRC. My 2015 Carbine had an SC sticker on the chainstays, so it was some time after that. Wondering if there's a connection between SC no longer designing their suspension, and their current downward trajectory.
2022 Racing/Team Rumors
- Thread starter Redwood Mulch Chucker
- Start date
After the VPP patents ran out, Intense named their VPP "JS tuned" for marketing purposes (from 2016 on). The suspension system stayed heavily based on VPP.

Wild speculation, but this could become a factor for the overall? https://www.pinkbike.com/news/athletes-will-need-to-be-vaccinated-to-compete-in-france.html
Wait, never mind, they guy I'm thinking of likely won't be in the fight for the title anyway.

Loic back on Specialized Tires and the return of the cannibal name
hasn't he technically been on spesh tires for a while? but just actually running them now? i swear he runs sharpie tires when its actually race day no?
Indeed
in all press photos sure, but after his first three months on the team, it seems like all his riding shots and instagram shots haven't been trying to hide he runs Maxxis. this seems to imply he is actually riding and testing their tires now which if he leaves a start gate with them this season should be interesting
yea, will be interesting to see where it goes. isn't he on all spesh gear this year too? or still riding fox?
Fox has been doing nothing but adding riders to their roster this year--everywhere i look guys are dropping 100% and others for dharco and fox. if specialized got Loic to leave Fox it must have involved some serious money changing hands.
i'd heard the rumor over on vital, wasn't sure if it actually went anywhere. but yes i had the same thought.
Yeah, he posted a farewell to Fox. Since Specialized have a new DH helmet they will most likely promote it.
No racing rumor, but Brett Rheeder decided to leave Trek for a new 2-year contract...
Now that must be one hell of a paycheck.

Nice, Jenna Hastings confirmed on Pivot, Sammie G gone.
Don't know if she is still a Jr next year, but she's a ripper!
They still have Emilie on the roster too, maybe she will be mentoring Jenna?
Canyon has 8 teams registered.....
Commencal better step up their game, they are down to 6!

Looks like the frenchies have been following Ferrandis in SX.

that's pretty cool. from that angle it's hard to tell, but it looks like they might be too close together to do any kind of jump combo through them, and they'll have to be ridden as full-on whoops. Which is kind of cool imho.
