neat bike! some interesting construction details going on (3d printed lugs, i assume?). what's the swingarm construction? very svelte cross section. give us all the goods!
There will be a full bike check on the German site (Google translate?).
Some other neat bikes have been shown at that event too:

Chatted with a guy who built this prototype. Some strange things going on here but he clearly was trying things out. Was asking a lot of questions on what I would look for in a bike.

Yeah, many pivot single pivot. But let's him change leverage ratios by changing a few parts while maintaining pivot locations on the frame.
TT and DT are Reynold 831, rest is CNCd Alu7075. Swingarm is a single piece solid 7075alloy part

not a new bike, but Push's new shock is live

Push Industries Releases All-New SV8 Family of Rear Shocks
When it comes to coil suspension, no other suspension company is more committed to the #oncoil movement than PUSH. Today we’re excited to announce our expanded line of coil shocks offering increased options for riders when it comes to upgrading their rear suspension to PUSH.
Nice that you can order two different tunes direct - https://www.pushindustries.com/products/sveight. Could save $ on retunes of brand new aftermarket shocks.not a new bike, but Push's new shock is live

given that the tunes are differentiated by spring weight, I would wager it is related to the fact that there is no HSR adjustment, rather than a bike/suspension specific tune.
so an expensive super deluxe coil?
Yup. Still better than just one aftermarket tune though if it works for your frame. It will be interesting to see if they add more stock tune variations over time - ie a set for highly progressive bikes. One nice thing about Ohlins is they only charge $100 for a retune when you order a shock.
Quite similar to Fast Suspension's "lovely" named Ride E Shock

Fast's shock is also cheaper and way more French. Whatever floats your boat

Nice to see Push giving now an alternative to their double damping circuit
yep. love these things^
55mm stroke for 170mm of travel
Questionable on getting 170 outta 55 stroke.
I feel dirty getting just 160mm out of 55mm stroke but still able to hit the magical 3.0ish starting leverage rate.
ahhh, reminiscing about my old 2" stroke, 7" travel RM-7 (ie, ~50mm for 180mm).
though the poor shock on the rm-6 was asked to eke 6" out of 1.5" stroke...

them were the days. the 1st gen rm6 had a skinny cross section swingarm that was comically flexy, and (needless to say) prone to snapping like twigs.

Looks flexy, would you trade it for an Xbox?

I still have one of these in the back of the shed somewhere. 06 Slayer
Was not totally terrible, and much better after Push got done with it.
FWIW - My son rode it pretty hard at the local lift hill for a few years and it is still in one piece.

Like the steel with sweet gusseting and compact rear end, but "enduro light" made me throw up in my mouth a bit.
Thanks man! There are 2 ways to do this mod. You can remove the paralerogram and join clutch part and the "hanger" with a pivot pin (it can rotate on that pin, maybe chain tension keeps it in line, haven't tried this method)Radge looking bike. any details of the Zee mech/tensioner mod?
SS Endurpo. Talk about ahead of the curve
DIY ketjunkiristin (zingle speed)
Rakensin nyt tämmöisen ketjunkiristimen kun Pinkbiken foorumilla muillakin oli https://www.pinkbike.com/forum/x_directtolastpost/?commentid=6648850 Kyseessä on siis Zee rd-m640 josta on poistettu vaihteensiirtäjämekanismi. Semmoisenaankin tuo varmaan olisi toiminut kun vähän limittiruuvista...

Or you can chop everything off except for the clutch part, then make a new plate/hanger attached to the clutch cover bolts (that's what i've done with mine)
No problem mate!Awesome work! Thanks for sharing
With the 2nd solution you have to remember 1 thing
Putting a plate between the der. body and the clutch cover (like in the picture above) adds dead space between the clutch/bearing and the cover (normally, the cover keeps the bearing from sliding off). This can result in clutch sliding off the cage pivot (towards the clutch cover). To remedy this, you have to put some nylon washers on the clutch bearing, to remove this dead space.
