I still think they should have called it the "V8".

Still, it looks pretty cool. Competition for the Demo9/Big Hit and all of the other Horst Link bikes.

I still think a stable platform, single pivot, swingarm style frame would be much better in terms of active suspension. The Rocky Mountain RMX is going to be a tough cookie to beat in my book.

But suspension design to allow pedaling is a good trade off for less unsprung weight.

Everything has it's trade-offs.

Looks like it would be a nice heavy duty trail bike, if set up correctly.

It looks so well balanced...clean and just dead sexy. Looks aren't everything, but it sure caught my eye!

This thing looks like a nice bullit with VPP technology and a little bit more travel. But damn that's a nice bike, only wish I could afford one. :D

Shame that you would come close to breaking that frame.
