just give it some time. Over here in yrop in bikeparks it looks like driect sellers almost have 50% of market share. Pretty much every second guy rides a yt, canyon, radon or propain...

One of my buddies is up in Whistler and he said he is seeing quite a few if the yt bikes there.
Mine has shipped, the fox suspension has been ordered, time can't go fast enough.

does canyon still make the torque? or anything dh?
Yep.
oh, I see - it's under "gravity," which is a separate tab than "mtb" on their site . . .
This is how people talk here.
-"I ride bikes."
+"Oh cool. XC?"
-"No, DH."
+"ah ok, but do you do also mountainbiking?"
-"I ride bikes."

It came! I installed the Fox 40 Float and I am waiting on the correct hardware for the DHX2. Can not wait to hit the trails!!

Did you sell the BOS stuff already?
Because I need detail shots of the new shock, which isn't officially released yet.
I'd like also to hear some comparsion between FOX and BOS...

I am having the shop sell my fork for me, and I just have the bos shock sitting there til my bushings come into the shop.
What kind of photos do you need?

Pics of the adjustments. Is it a 4-way adjustable damper now?
It has HSC, LSC, and a single rebound adjustment.

First real test on her. It was very muddy/slippery at Windrock, so I did not do a very much with the suspension. I did get the cockpit pretty much set-up and a few other small things as well. Planning on SnowShoe this weekend to really get her dialed.

Didn't want to start a new thread for just a spy shot of Canyon's new DH bike, and resurrecting this thread would also be a good opportunity for @Carraig042 to tell us more about his experience with the Tues.
You must be in different yurp than me. Mainland Gurmany? Morzine, Serfaus, Maribor seem less dominated by direct sellers.
Yes, I will fur sure give a little write up about the Tues. I have spent not as much time as I would like, but good enough to review!

Have been to all that places except Maribor in the last years and I said "it looks like" which doesn't really translate into "50% market share" more like percieved. But in the last years if you went to a bikepark and somebody had the latest great deal direct seller rig everybody was over it and mouth to mouth propaganda worked its way. Plus in the last few years I really did see an increase. I mean if you go to a european mtb forum where somebody asks which new bike he or she should buy there is mostly chatter about the direct seller offerings (which are way more than just yt or canyon over here there are also propain, radon, alutech, last...
I think in a few years it will become the dominating sales model at least in germany.
I agree i see more of them. That is true. Just not as huge in numbers since they are still perceived as a value option, not quality option. Mostly because they lack WC teams.
As for other direct sell options. I only saw them in german bikeparks. Outside of it there is none since those companies appear to not care at all about markets outside Germany. Don't know why.
Sorry but thats bs. The reason they are so sucessful is that they basically offer the same value for considerably less money. The reason some people might decide against them is brand image or excluiveness. But nowadays everybody knows that no yt or canyon frame will hold you back in any way.
Yt is really popular in europe though...
Man read my post again because you have seriously misunderstood it.
1. What I'm saying is other smaller direct brands are NOT AS SUCESSFUL (not Canyon and YT). Having WC team is part of brand image and exclusiveness you mention so what is bs?
2. I'm not claiming a Canyon or an YT frame will hold you back (even though people complain about them)
3. I never claimed YT isn't popular in Yurp. I claimed companies not named Canyon and YT are not popular outside of germany. I hardly ever see Radons, Propains, Solids or Alutechs outside of german bikeparks. I also hardly see any press coverage of those brands outside of the german press and sites.
