They look good.
However it looks like the Jackal has an odd growth coming from it's headtube. :lol:

What's the point in it?

They will say strength...personally...I don't know why. They can't want to make the bike uglier...can they ? :D

Dannihilator 10-09-04 03:32 PM

Maybee they are theft proofing the bikes.

Maelstrom 10-09-04 04:24 PM

Built in ugliness...definately a possibility.

hooligan 10-09-04 06:11 PM

Yeah right. Strength. Thats what it is...I think.

rios 10-09-04 07:06 PM

The VPP Linkage animation on the SC site is sweet. I love the VP Free.

Head tubes were slacker than their less abuse-destined showroom floor brethren (69 degrees with a 4.5 inch travel fork), and gusseted up to handle the loads of six-inch travel forks.They were sort of like what would happen if a Blur and a Heckler got all boozed up on Red Bull and Vodka and then locked themselves in the back of a 73 Chevy Van with shag carpet and bubble windows for a few hours.

Anyway, we decided to start selling them. They kick ass. A little heavier and a lot mo brawny than a Blur, more VPP suave than a Heckler, and probably more able to handle casing a double jump than you or us, the Blur 4x just might be that do-it-all bike we all keep dreaming about.

Blur and a Heckler boozed up on Red Bull and Vodka...hilarious :roflmao:

I hope they keep the Hecklers around for a few like they have with the Superlights.
