i'm not a big fan of the new-look bighit. just don't think the look of the rear linkage matches the look of the front triangle. looks a bit longer than the older bighit as well.
i still think out of the specialized line up, the new enduro frame is the nicest one they've got. mmmmmmmm... sx trail :drool:.

They're trying to make the bighit look more like the demo series by using the same or similar tubing. I also like the new helmets and love the new graphics on the section of tubing they show, I reckon it will be on a P series bike.

i got a chance to see the new fox dh40 up close yesterday when i dropped by the bike shop near my work to pick up a hanger bolt and a new du bushing for my rear shock. that fork is mahoosive. i'd love to try a bike with one of those forks on it.

It looks almost like an old RM 7 now. Beefy and simple. The fork is awesome.
