Specialized Confirms Brembo Brakes on Gravity Team Bikes for 2025
Frame and suspension layout is actually new for 2025. Not the same that they raced the previous couple of years. But I hear ya.

Bike Check: Gracey Hemstreet's Norco DH - 2025 Leogang DH World Cup
To be fair, a gearbox/belt equipped bike won junior men in Leogang. Zerode team is pretty stoked.

Tech Randoms III: Mont-Sainte-Anne DH World Cup 2024
@AyJayDoubleyou: brands love to think this way but it's rarely the case. Most youth are fickle and want something different or "cooler" than what they had as kids. You see it in skiing all the time.

Video: Is the Rainbow Jersey Cursed? | Racing Rewind
Loic's first ever win as an Elite was the 2015 World Champs in Andorra. I think it's fair to say he isn't cursed by the rainbow stripes.

@jwdenver: To be fair, he never said he was an engineer... there's just one inside him. This might get awkward.

Go take your frame to a custom painter and ask for a single, one-off design and see how much they charge you. We're not talking simple black powdercoat from the serial production line. Any time a custom paint project is done for a single frame, it is incredibly expensive.

First Ride: The 2025 Specialized Stumpjumper Has a New Dual Chamber Air Shock
Luckily there is a difference between OEM and proprietary, and this bike doesn't have the latter.

@Hightower288: Of course, at the ambassador or lower-level sponsorship level, these riders and athletes are sent Mavens (or whatever the new product of the moment is) and told to run them. But at the higher-levels of competition, they are definitely allowed to run what they want. That's a fact you can verify with any bike check or pit bits from the World Cups.
