Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[Skott5]

Chris Porter's (owner of Mojo Suspension) bike for Trans Provence (I think):

 

62.5 deg head angle

Super long top tube and wheelbase

I know Chris Porter likes to push Geo bounderies and play around with suspension setups, but this just looks ***.

I think the defining character of a true Enduro bike is that it should be equally good at climbing, descending and bombing it along tight twisting fast peddly sections of single track. This bike would only be good at one of those.

But hey, someone has to push the boundries..

If i put you into ken block's car, would you suddenly be able to drive like him?

Haha! No of course not. I knew I was gonna step on a few toes with that comment.  . I just hope that the riders' skills levels keep on improving at the same rate as the bike improvements. Because then ENDURO's future is looking bright.

unless he had that frame specifically built thats not a 62.5 HA

 

 

the website says 67.5 for the HA

 

which, for that bike, is plenty, espically since they still have the dune if you want something a little more burly pro, and i assume, slacker.

 

probably just a typo :/

 

 

3° headset to bring the head angle to the Alps position, 62.5° should allow me to feel confident when it gets steep, i.e. All the stages! — at Mojo Suspension Hoodoo.

found the article

interesting read

 

but all i really took from it is that this dude has an awesome job and i really really want his headset

 

would bring my bike from a 69 HA to a 66 HA

 

awesome

Those mattoc pro forks are nice, but bike should have had a matching paint scheme...

Then you don't want to meet mada3400. He's kitting his bike to be as offensive as possible from a colour coordination perspective.

[nigelhicks]

that fork though ..... YUCK

Without those wheels I'd be 1

Pictures??

Not yet. But it's a silver gt force with a silver fork, black stem, green bars, getting some red rims and so on.

after reading that im too embarrassed to post a pic of my bike

 

it almost looks good now, the rims are black and the bike actually looks pretty good

 

lumo green bars and lumo orange grips are starting to get annoying though!

 

ill post when i get the rims, then i should reach full obnoxiousness

Sounds good to me ..... I have a grey/steel colour framed HT with green rims and bars, black stem, seat post grips and white saddle .... I don't see the problem .... oh, I also had orange grips on and they worked ok too.

 

Never mind those colour blind heathens complaining about your bike build
