Sam hills been spotted on a carbon mega 27.5 and an alloy prototype before that.

Both were metric and boost so I presume that should roll out across the range this year. No word on any geometry changes yet.

Ah well, I was worried a carbon 290 would drag me away from a Hightower LT but at least that's one less decision I need to make

Ohh, I like the look of the Digger. Although I'm still peeved that no one seems to be making this style of bike with an EBB or track ends, grrrrrrr.

With the reach of the XL 290 out at 515mm I feel they could’ve stretched the L a bit more, but as it stands 470mm with a short-ish 458mm seat tube will appeal to a lot of riders I think.
