Nice quality, Boring design. would work but.

Yeah the DH bike is running marzochhi shocks front and rear. travel is 200mm at both ends. Looks like it comes with a complete saint groupset. No idea on price just thought they looked pretty sweet.

they dont appear to be anything special to me

just your standard single pivot design with a little twist
performance wise, i dont see anything special at all

performance wise, i dont see anything special at all

because you have done extensive testing on each of the designs?

didnt nico voulioz (???) ride one?

Yeah, i think he might have also had some input into the design as well, but really so what?

Nico could ride a Huffy faster than I wish I could ride... and be smoother to boot, doesn't mean I want to ride a Huffy does it? :wink:

The bikes don't do anything for me, anyone can build a big frame and smother it in a sweet parts kit. I mean, who knows about warranty, price, strength, stiffness and sales support. All things to consider about a bike.

$0.02 <-- mine

It's not like it's some tricky design where you can't have any idea what it's like without testing it for 18 months... it's another singlepivot with pretty standard geometry. Yawn.
