If we are bringing batteries into the mix, I’d love to see a wireless lockout system that unlocks suspension when you actuate the dropper.
Would it work for SRAM to use a remote like the AXS shifter on the left, where the lower toggle opens the suspension and actuates the dropper, and the upper button locks the suspension?
I like the photo shoot - feels spot on for the intent of this bike. \#4 wins for me.
This bike is super tempting, as I’m missing my old Tallboy V3. This has very similar geometry at a lower weight and slightly more race tuned suspension platform. Back when I bought the TB3, Kona was phasing out the 111. The travel and geo were sooo close- it felt like buying the carbon 111 that Kona never made.
