Yup and they trademarked it, probably scared Mullet Cycles would have done so if they didn't.

Fwiw, all my bikes have a guide/guard.
Wilson has an MRP G5
Blue Pig and Spartan have an MRP SXg.
East coast rox + 34/36t ringz.

Based on the gear size and tire mounting directions I assume that is some kind of dedicated uphill bike.
for that price I would expect an integrated O-chain in an idler.

It is usually cheaper to get a bike that fits in the first place.
But you can probably afford $20 for a 3-d printed do-dad that cost pennies to make that replaces a basic ruler you should already own.

Wait. Wut? I can get skinny khaki jeans?! Take my money now!
Not that they have been doing anything of note lately, but look for Enve Composites to further enter the toilet as their parent company looks to go the publicly traded route.

Nothing better for quality and development than to be concerned with stock prices and ROI. The reason why Fox Shox has major discounts near the end of each financial quarter as of late. Gotta pump those numbers up!

So while I'm babysitting my sick kid, I put in an old race DVD. Has anyone gone to 29 DH (or even enduro) and then back to 26?
The reason I ask is because of the race footage, back in the day, the boys look like they're having a bit more fun manipulating the bike on the 26. Like go back and look at some freecaster footage, Earthed, etc. See how fast they can change direction? Maybe it's just me.
I'd totally do it. Just for kicks. But don't have a frame or the wheels or anything for that matter, now that I think of it

looks pretty euro to me 
yeah that sport thats even more branded up and commercialized than anything in mtb....that's definitely where I take my cues from after getting fed up with the bullshit in mountainbiking
that makes sense
dirtbike people are ridiculing that stupid thing, mountainbikers would be placing preorders

I'm shocked that the purveyor of farm gates masquerading as MTBs has lasted this long.

My 26 mullet dh bike is more nimble than my full 29 trailbike.
I had them both out and took them for the same ride when putting them away. Deeking around trees, between house and fence, firepit and assorted back yard detritus I was surprised at how agile the dh bike actually was, or should I say how much of a barge the 9r is in comparison.

7 seconds is an eternity when 1-10th place will all be within 1-2 seconds.
I love how 27.5 feels downhill and how far back I can get behind the rear wheel...but that doesn't make it faster.
It's kind of amazing to see how "fast" some cars are at autocross, like freaking trucks are only 10s slower...but that's the point, the fastest all within a tenth of a second.
MRP G2 device with bash on the enderpo thingy. Given the state of the bash, I'd say I need it although the reduced clearance could actually make it hit more?
Ridden an XL Giga 290 back to back with a M 26" session and a M 26" Capra on the same DH track.
Compared to the 26" bikes the Giga felt like cheating.
I now own the Giga but still prefer riding the Capra.
Guess what? MOAR nimble/playful doesn't equal faster
I used to. The last bike was on the GG Mega. In mach plaid mode. The BB was super low.
It took me a only a bike or two to figure out I needed a chain guide. I mean, it is the Rocky Mountains.
Now I just run the regular endurpo style chain guard. No bash. If I did more DH, I'd prolly do the bashy bash. For my locals, bah, I know how to ride a bike.
Well true. If I were racing, I'd go for faster. But now? I'm looking for moar fun. We have tight, twisty trails that I wouldn't mind banging on a 26. Just for kicks.
MRP XCg Carbon on my do it all bike. Mine takes quite a few hits.
outside of 6ft wide bike park and trail center grades, it often does
You should see what their helmets ship in....I thought they sent me a 40 gallon fish tank by mistake.
Here's a short video of the track
Didn't have my tape measure with me but I guess some of it may well be 6ft wide. Most. as you can see is fairly tight.
Not sure exactly what you meant by "trail centre grades" but our pedally mellow gradient manmade trail centre descents is one place a capable FS 29er definitely isn't any quicker than an old 26" bike for me.

Every single story is "bicycle rider does thing". Amazing.
I only see one thing wrong with the industry:::
People, ones who use words like Analog bike..FUCK OFF...it's a bike you twat, yours is a E-Bikes...real simple...
Oh and not everyone runs an o-chain and schwalbes...I'll let woo slide cause , well he's woo...(get out of jail free card, cause he talks shit and it's usually true and just funny)
I have some gripes like anyone , usually personal preference so I don't voice em, just try and enjoy and try new stuff ..
BUT this "analog" bullshit just irritates me like the word moist, spicy, and mumble rap...
Oh SCREW IT... secretly I hate everyone...they are all breathing my air ..

hahahaha....that's gotta be a joke. i actually know that dude and he's a legit good/fast rider. although young and trying a bit hard on the youtube thing.bike magazine: always with a finger on the pulse of the next generation of extreme mountainbiking
the trail he's on is a local one that we have made fun of for years as dirt roadie favorite. we actually named that feature the "Lowesplosion" years ago when they made it because it was such a waste of lumber
if you're on insta you should follow charlottecyclingmemes...pretty funny shit (if localized)
