Great pic, and great riding. Mike is mental!
|
|
|
ah, just one some frame sizes and productions the resevoir would hit the DT as you have it mounted. is worse for small frames mind you.
|
|
|
Very nice. but I'd turn that shock round so that the reservoir was btween shock and seat tube when in 5" setting.
|
|
You need to turn your shock round so that the resevoir faceing backwards between the shock and the seat tube in the 5" setting. liking the subtle logo!
|
|
Actually, it always looks like that! just the bike in the stand changes. Rob runs a tight ship!
|
|
oh oh... this means it is officially winter!
|
|
Nice riding shwara! The wildcard definately suits your riding style! Go big, with style, and have fun. Hope your well mate!

I did a quick review here... http://bb.nsmb.com/showthread.php?t=126812

Haha, couldn't be more wrong. I have ridden DH bikes that have more flex than this.
|
|
yup,
haha, this picture messes with my head. I see why people are saying photoshopped, but I hope it isn't. |

2010 my friend, 2010. This thing rips already even tho it is a proto. For production I'm just going to make it better!
|
|
No Idea I'm afraid... should be out soon tho! great forks!
|
|
This is one of the build kit options for 2010.
|
|
Pretty much, rampants feel really similar to amps, but with a bit of squish!
|
|
We don't believe in changing designs every single year for the sake of it. It costs a lot of money to do this which is ultimately passed down to the customer. It also screws over any dealers or distributors with stock left.
We update bikes when they need updating. |
|
|
|
I love it! I plan to make a couple of small tweaks to make it slightly more progressive to work with the shock, but it is great for a proto.
|
|
|
Yeah, this photo doesn't do it justice. Is a great view over a beutiful city!
|
|
Just saying that the suspension does not feel or act anything like the giant, so is not a rip off.
|
|
We call it the VF4B (virtual floating 4 bar). It is a short link 4 bar linkage like you get on many bikes, but the devil is in the detail, and the geometry of the linkages is all important. get something out by 1mm and it makes a massive difference!
|
|
|
It actually has very different suspension characteristics.
|
|
|
Not flexy at all, interlnally ribbed rear traingle and custom hydroformed front triangle made with 7005 T6 Al. It is stiffer than the DH bike I used to ride.
|
|
Not really, actually quite different bikes, different geometry and ride characteristics.
|
|
|
Yeah they are superstar magnesium pedals, so far so good, infact very good, nice profile and size, but still earliy days.
|
|
|
|
Yeah, 2010 Rockshox Revelation Air U-Turn, 120-150mm, QR20mm axle
|
|
Yeah, using a solid lead seatpost! haha
I know, just wanted to get a quick weight, standing on a chair made it a bit more steady, but yeah, not ideal, but good enough to give me a rough idea. |
|
It is a 5" travel trail bike in the making.
|
|
|
|
It is a spy shot of a new prototype from Banshee... keep an eye on the blog over the coming months..
|
|
Trsut me, I know it is a banshee chaparral.
|
|
|
It is Alan Hepburn, riding a 2007 Banshee Chaparral.
|
|
|
