I'm going to guess that is the delivery date if you didn't pre-order one.

That's what I've been hearing from our local shop ever since the beginning, as I have stated many times in this thread. Even all the mail order websites have changed their due dates once again (end of May now). This means, us final consumers, won't be getting it in our hands till mid-June, at the earliest (if the date doesn't change, which it probably will). I can wait till June and suffer, but any later I'll have to look into another fork. I hate it when companies market new products like this to get all this hype and our hopes up. Why not just say the 2010 Boxxer is getting released in 2010 (which it will almost be anyway)? That way if it does come out earlier, people will be super stoked, and not frustratedMad

I talked to my shop and they said the same.

BUT.

There's a big chance that both Lambert and Norco don't know better...

I agree with the dude that posted above. This is Marketing at its worst. You can't issue a press release in November, videos in November-January, get it on the website in December, only to have the product available SIX months later. VERY poor. You have to 'live up to the hype'.

Anyways, the Fox40 looks very tempting again...

100% +1. I'd like to start riding early this season, not mid season.

I want to start riding NOW. I've actually looking at used domains. They would make a nice trail fork/backup if the new boxxers have issues.

Not to mention that they are cheap.

Same here. We're talking about early trips to BC for Easter... kinda hard without a fokking fork.

Well, it seems like May right now. At best... so, I don't know.
I really don't know. I got a pile of parts and a brand new frame and a decision to make... wait, or get something else...
