I share your sentiment to throw crap at more or less defined group called “kooks” but in the end virtually everyone deserves it. I also won't be running tons of spacers and my stem isn't that short with 42mm, which also helps with front end traction. Because of my long legs my weight will be more forward anyways so I don't think I will have issues weighting the front wheel.

I'm also shit at manuals so that's a bonus point. The length and suspension will make the bike stable and the chainstays may offer a bit of designed instability to throw the bike around easier if necessary. I'm curious to how it will work out but I'm not that sceptic. Regarding the CS length on the SB150 - mine is large and I'm just below 6' with long legs. Let's see how it pans out but there will be a point where it just won't be useful anymore. but there were mentions (I remember with the Jibb) and my point is that a 150-170 mm bike with a 64° HA would be considered a little outdated in a recent review and I don't think a 63° HA makes a lot of sense on a bike with a single crown fork that should work well on lots of natural trails with awkward features and tight corners. Pivot Mach 5.5 & Phoenix that was exaggerated. So, here you are: These are my "Huh, haven't seen that updated in a while" bikes for 2022. As my colleague James Smurthwaite wrote a year ago, "The methodology was as simple as going back through our archives and going, 'Huh, haven't seen that updated in a while.'" There are plenty of bike brands out there releasing all kinds of bikes all the time, so clearly there will be lots of bikes coming out this year that aren't listed here. It's much more likely left off because this list is inexhaustive. Note also that just because a bike isn't on this list doesn't mean that it's a bike I have embargoed information about. If you'd like more information on how we deal with embargoed information, check out Episode 51 of the Pinkbike Podcast. Now, a reminder: Yes, some editors have knowledge of unreleased bikes.
Guessing what to expect from the bike industry right now is extra weird, considering we've been in a pandemic for nearly two years that has thrown the industry all kinds of wildcards, but brands have continued to release new bikes amid supply chain issues, so we do expect to see that continue, even as bikes remain in short supply. (Though, of course, many bikes are re-released each year with fresh paint and are branded as "new.") Regardless, I've taken a look back at the bikes that were last updated in roughly 2018 or 2019 in an attempt to predict what might be coming our way this season. That means that bikes are updated according to the pace of geometry shifts and technology advancement, and all that stuff tends to move forward on a two or three-year cycle. We've been seeing more and more bike brands move away from traditional model years, which (in my personal opinion) is great. Once again, as usual as we begin a new year, the Pinkbike editors have chosen to look into that murky crystal ball to try to predict what we might see in the bike industry over the next 12 months.
