Anyone have any inside info on the RS Vivid 10.5x3.5?

Will SRAM/RS make this production at some point? Maybe '09?

I just saw an article on Pinkbike about Claire Buchars Custom Intense M6.

I've got one of the 4 available. Don't expect before 2010...
I raced canadia open on it and works so fine... Just need to get oil flowing faster as of lower ratio bikes need less damping..

Yeah, it seems to be a bit of a guessing game even for the pro tuners at Marz and Manitou when the ratio gets that low. I am currently riding a 10.5 x 3.5 Swinger 6 way on a proto 2-1 bike, and even at about 50% of the stock damping it's still a bit much, it's going to need to come down even more. It took two rebuilds to get it dialed on a ROCO WC and I think it's currently tuned to only 25 or 30% of the stock damping.

Is 2010 Gospel or speculation?
I've got a Vivid on my M3, and an M6 on the way.
The M3 came with a DHX and I upgraded to the Vivid straight up, made a massive difference.
So I'm super keen to get the same setup for the M6.
Couldnt really afford the CCDB.....
