they have changed the rear axle to a 135mm standard, and made the down tubs on the frame s-bend shape...pics inside, what you think?

I wouldn't mind one of those, look pretty nice.

Demo 8 looks good. Maybe we'll see more of the Demo's at the races next year. It looks like the Demo 9 frame has spun off a few variants. I hope that means cheaper prices. The 6" travel SX looks sick.

And the venerable Big Hit frame survives another year.

Good to see the bighit still there, its a good bike really , makes sense not to change it...
The 5" travel SX looks like an awesome 4x rig, the 6" one looks like a fantastic trailbike...

I like the new graphics on the bighit too, pretty sweet....

i could go one of those SX's, 5 or 6 incher, i thinkthey look pretty nice... and for the big hit, i do not know about the flames i think it looks tacky..well thats me :roll:

and for the big hit, i do not know about the flames i think it looks tacky..well thats me .Im with ya on that one ..looks like a add-on :? ,wonder how those 'stance' forks will go?

Anybody know what those thin pedals on the 5 and 6 inchers are? I dunno about the remote resivoir, the hose would want to be good, just seems like another week link. Maybee with a longer hose to absorb a bit of the movement.

They look like the Specialized S-Works Mag flats? PM Byatch, he has a set...

[ajay]

the red flame decals on the big hit look gnarly :twisted:

New linkage plate?

Demo8 looks sweet but i think ill keep my 9 :P

They learnt to type with decent grammar, and not in capitals. Maybe you should learn to do so.

Nah Rik, the world owes him a wicked bike.

Anyone know if a Demo8 frame only option will be available?

Not sure if I like the colour scheme on the new bighits, I still like the 04 look better. The 6" SX looks incredible though.

FSR lives on! :twisted:
