I'm still waiting on my CF Pro with an April 26th availability..... Apparently should arrive on Friday at the latest!
Rode with a girl on the weekend and she's friends with JM at YT, inside scoop is she's helping him with a big shipment coming in tomorrow or Friday, she says it was a ton of bikes. Good luck!

Anyone went from Lyriks/Rockshox to Fox?

Might have the money to upgrade to the CF Pro later this year and I'm wondering whether it's worth it? Riding a 2015 CF Comp (Lyriks Guide R Yellow/Waspy one) now and I'd have to get rid of it to fund the Pro.

Hi guys, another poll !

Need a majority opinion from this forum.

Do you consider this a case for a warranty claim? I can see cracks near the shock mount area of the seatstay and the underside is starting to flake although this could be paint. Anyone else had this problem on their frame? Spoken to YT service desk and they reckon no fatigue although I'm dubious with their assessment. They also said you should be changing the frameset bearings annually even if you only ride 2 weeks a year in bike parks/alpine riding !! I don't see this mentioned anywhere in the owners manual.

That looks like a warranty to me buddy. I would recommend you grab yourself a new frame before the warranty expires.

The release of jefsy in 27.5" made many of us think of a 29er capra.....just speculating though....

Possibly I'm just hoping they bring it out soon because I'm too big for the current capras

Guestimate is the next model will be, based on this one being 4 years old now...

But.... The XL is only 1 year old and its very unlikely they would create a carbon mold for just one year of production....

They couldn't just leave the XL behind and update the others though and it needs to be updated relatively soon

Wouldn't surprise me if they went 27.5/29 next to be honest. Industry is going in that direction. 160/170 29er I think.

Yeh I agree but I feel that they will go metric shocks for the next as well as boost and add 30mm to the reach for frame sizes.

A 160mm 29er capra would be pretty awesome.

Think this got lost in discussions btw, anyone?

Does anyone have a rough idea when the new one will be released? or news of it?
