Mountain Biking - When you look at this bike...

...whats the first thing that comes to mind? If the designer asked you for "feedback" what would you say?

elonggated throat :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Id say "i love the "beef-y-ness", but slap a new fork on it."

"Awsome bike put on some hayes hxf-9's and a Marzocchi all mountain fork"
why do you ask?

Or any Marzocchi fork. Id prefer 66vf 150mm.

looks like a beefed up kids bike.

When I look at that, I think of Banshee bikes..?

Does it look small? Like it was designed for kids?

It looks like it has 24' wheels.

looks like a realy deformed throat. im sory am i the only 1 that sees this"?

thats exactally what i thought. it looks like anyone over 5' couldnt ride it.

Yeah...those wheels look way to big, i'm thinking it looks like a monster truck.

...whats the first thing that comes to mind? If the designer asked you for "feedback" what would you say?


I'd say "why?"

Looks like a DH hardtail to me... 24" double tracks (i think 24), nice fat downhill tires. Fork should be a dual crown...

**** why doenst anyone see, enlongated throat???

bikes have throats?

A bicycle for producing castrati?

lmao

An MTB for Oompah Loompahs! It looks tiny not to mention ugly. You asked.:D

CHEERS.

I'd say, "nice bike but why the short wheelbase?"

Great bike. I would love to have it, probably would change the fork.

Not bad. I wouldn't get one.

It looks way out of proportion to me, but I ride a really long FS XC bike.

I have heard good things about the hydro discs, but I have the avid mechs, and I have never felt like I needed anything more.

The smaller things on the bike are nice like the chain guide and rims.
But the frame looks abit too beefy for a dirtjumping kinda bike. I just dont like beefy jumpers.
Also the fork is abit dodgy. I'm not sure if its a stance or a sherman by the pic. But i definetly recommend a marzocchi dirt jumper 1 or 2 fork for it cos of the big drop outs and crown on them.

24 Inch wheels are used all the time over here for dirt jumping, ive heard that on the other side of the pond 26 is used more...

Too me it looks nice, i love shermans anyway, and the 24 inch wheels will make it very nice in the air, as Madman said, a DH hardtail..

Pic could be disproportioned.

Looks fine to me. No worse than any other fr ht. :)...

Yeah 26" is way more popular. 24" imo is a bmx cruiser size not a mtb. Its also most people who dj also ride trails and 26" is way better for that.

Although I had a friend who could ride any trail on the mountain on his letoy with 24" wheels :)

i was thining of geting 24s on my dh bike im getting so i can race it on bmx tracks :D
