Full Rider List Announced for 2023 Red Bull Hardline Including Josh Bryceland
What new about that? Hardline is different. It’s never really attracted the big race teams and riders.

Brand new steel HG freehub body for DT Swiss Star Ratchet hubs. It was mounted but never used before being swapped out. Comes with 12x148 end caps for boost hubs. I believe these caps also fit a 12x142 hub as well.

Push Industries is Making an Inverted Fork - Sea Otter 2023
@BeerGuzlinFool: I still have an emerald on my dh bike. I’m not sure about newer offerings but I felt the same about the emerald. I like it better than the the fox 40, boxxer WC, etc that were out at the time.
I’m sure high level riders and pro might feel a difference but for an average recreational rider like myself any additional flex was not noticeable.

Push Industries is Making an Inverted Fork - Sea Otter 2023
I think much of the problem is marketing. Many of the riders who would see the negatives are the professional riders who companies use to market the products. So even though the inverted design may actually work great for 90% of the general public, if they can’t get it under some pro enduro or DH riders it’s likely not going to sell. As silly as it is, if the average person sees that the top riders won’t ride something, they are also likely to think it not good enough for them.
The DVO emerald fork comes to mind. This was a very good inverted DH fork but the pro riders didn’t like it and chose to run the normal forks instead and it never took off.

Its pretty cool but they not really square wheels as much as they are treads mounted to a square frame. Mythbusters did an episode where they put actual square wheels on a truck.
