I was told when l bought my C70 Instinct 2 weeks ago that the Maiden is discontinued so expect the Slayer to get longer travel and a possible BC edition.
Talked to a rep at a demo, the 2020 Instinct is going to come with a Fox 36 and will have a HT angle that is 0.1 degree steeper than the BC edition (66 vs 65.9 I believe)
Yep, 2020 stuff is live on their website except the slayer and maybe the growler, haven't checked the growler.
To be clear I don't think the instinct needs and update, I just thought it funny that a previous commenter thought that a bike that was less than 2 years old should be next in the company's update lineup
New Slayers will come in both 27.5 and 29 versions. From what I understand, Wade's Pipedream from a couple of years ago was basically the prototype for the new design. The promo video made it sound like Halloween for the release but with Crankworx coming up, I would think that an opportune time.
