Yeah the vp is being replaced by the v8, that's what i've heard correct me if i'm wrong.
Nico
the santa cruz v8 was code name for the vp free from what my little google dragged up back in 2003 :s so maybe the code name has been used again but i doubt that
I have no idea what epicyclic means, but what it is is a BOX two speed planetary chainring gear (err, so its a Hammer Schmitt) and BOX say it''ll be out in a year or so (so, they missed the boat).
As for the new VP-Free, there is nothing at Eurobike (well, the new more XC nomad is there which leave a nicer gap for the VPFree to fill...). I wouldn't have thought SC would show anything until Interbike and then perhaps maybe even Sea Otter next year, 'cos they have a lot on ATM with new bikes (BT2, Nomad and Jackal).

and I thought it was something to do with a rider having a fit...

No, thats the same as its been for a while now. It was at eurobike 'cos the european distributors have not yet sold all their stock, so are still selling them. SC in the USA sold out ages ago.
