New Santa Cruz model

[TurdFarmer]

Looks like Santa Cruz updated their website, maybe something new coming soon.......

In what way have they updated it?

No price change on US website.

Has anyone heard anything further? I reached out to Stif in the UK to ask if there was any news but they didn't give much away at all - just said hopefully this year.

Seems a lot of manufacturers are releasing bikes with 160/150 travel but there's still a lot of demand for 170/170 - at the moment the only options I can see for longer travel are the Orbea Wild (but no way would I buy a bike with headset cable routing) and the crestline (limited production numbers and harder to get outside of the USA).

Slash+ is 170/170 although the motor may preclude it from your comparison.

A 170/170 Bullit based on the Vala platform is rumored to be coming soon(ish)...

This is what I want! Ive had enough of heavy old Focus Sam2 which is now fairly battered.

Kenevo SL2 is also 170/170 and can be over-stroked.

Anyone heard any news? Was really hoping to have seen something by now

Not exactly the same frame,looks pretty much the same but the lower shock tab at a slightly more forward location.
Stroke is 65mm.

That color sounds similar to the new color seen on Santa Cruz’s site.

I wonder what shock will come with the new Bullit?

Sorry but what’s a 70-kit or a 90-kit??

 

[madxface]

its just a new name for entry/base levels built kits by sram. we dont have specifications yet, but 70-kit will be probably zeb base, maven base (new model), NX/GX drivetrain etc.

70 and 90 are 2 levels of Sram's upcoming mechanical T-type groupsets.
