Canyon Disconnect Project
http://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/EUROBIKE-2017-Downhill-Bikes-and-Gear,10432/Canyon-Disconnect-Project,109385/sspomer,2
"Inspired by the proven ability of a DH bike to perform well without a chain, Canyon sought to disconnect the drivetrain from the bike to improve suspension performance. When your weight is on the pedals of any full suspension bike, it influences how freely the suspension can perform due to pedal kickback. Canyon wanted to remove this influence from the drivetrain by using a mechanism inside the rear hub that disengages the freewheel ratchet, effectively decoupling the drivetrain from the bike. "

Does it have an easily accessible button to let all of the air out of the fork at an inopportune moment so it performs like ass? I bet @Nick and @Full Trucker will want that upgrade.MRP Upgrade Carts for Pike/ Boxxer

Seems like that would just make the spring curve even worse (increase bottom out ramp without increasing mid-stroke).MRP Upgrade Carts for Pike/ Boxxer

Saw this on my social feed. Some bike shop girl I know is pretty upset about it. Not sure why, except for her attention-seeking need to be constantly upset about something. It's tacky, but it's not that offensive, is it?
That seat angle almost makes it look like evil knows what they're doing.140mm rear coil sprung 29. Interested to see geometry.
that bike was looking pretty good until i saw that. they've always got to screw one thing up.
Sounds like the England Air dampers I had in an old White Brothers fork. Actually worked better than most other forks of the time.
Are they trolling us?
The new Avis of Evil?
interesting . . .
didn't an older version of canyon's torque adjust in a similar fashion, although via the shock mount bolt instead of on a little track?
holy shit. There's no way they could possibly have made that more upright, either.
Uh, what are we looking at?
i fucking love it

Those clevis style shock mounts need to stop.
that antidote is spectacular. I'm sure it's wildly expensive, A maintenance nightmare, and probably flexy as all get out (Considering the sunns were), but it's pretty close to exactly how I would design a bike.
is that really a thing though? Any sunn/lahar/zerode owners care to comment?
But no backwards seatpost?
But it does have a 63.5 HTA. Crikey!
I want that folding mini penny farthing!
I'm speaking from experience.
Of course, the fact that that think had a sub 13" bb with 8" of travel didn't help. On the other hand, the bottom of the lower link was well below the bottom bracket shell, but not below the chainring. It looks like the one on the Antidote is.
5000E for a frame isn't cheap. Supposedly they plan a normal rocker version which isn't one sided. That could help.
