Guess it shouldn’t be too surprising they’ve been following in transitions footsteps for a while now. Transition was first to short offset 27.5 forks on the patrol and then the nomad 5 copied (they had the chance to jump ahead and do mullet at the same time since anyone with clear vision could see that was the future but no), then the next patrol is mullet but was heavy and aluminum, followed up by a mullet nomad 6, then transition released the carbon patrol. It was at this point I was looking at either and ready to possibly jump ship from long time SC fan but this was covid times and the nomad 6 was available so I jumped on it with no regrets although the buying experience isn’t what it used to be as they sold it with the fork steerer cut too short and in previous times you could just call drive over the hill and get it swapped right then and there but now days it’s all corporate and had to take about two weeks and told not to right my brand new multi thousand dollar bike as they sorted out getting me a fork replacement. All the original people gone and not the same company. I wouldn’t be surprised to be on a transition in the futures if they ever made an avinox patrol bike. The company feels more like SC then SC does now days and I’m seeing more and more of them in SC. So with SC just becoming a copy and charging more I don’t see the value.
