RockShox Overhauls the SuperDeluxe and Vivid Air Shocks for 2027

Granted it’s annoying, but no one would buy the out going product (at least at full price) if they knew a new one was around the corner, if anything it works better for RS financially to keep it as quiet as possible till release. As others have said, I wouldn’t worry anyway, with each new iteration of their products the quality and performance declines in favour of gimmick marketing tat. The pattern of intentionally releasing an unrefined, sub par product, then releasing an ‘upgrade’ to sell to those unlucky customers 6 months later is getting a little old now as well

First Look: The 2026 Cannondale Bad Habit is an 'Enduro-Minded All-Mountain Bike'

Wrong. People don’t want fun, that’s not the point of mtb. It’s all about long monster truck bikes that ride for you in a straight line down a hill as quickly as possible.

Sometimes it’s fine to not worry about what you might be missing, mtb is more fun when you stop caring. Never tried an ochain, it might be the best thing ever, but tomorrow there’ll be something else new that makes your riding experience ’better’
