Quote of the day"

 

"Let's get this climbing stuff behind us. The burly Process 167 is a very specific tool for a very specific job, and that job has nothing to do with climbing. Rather, it's designed to have loads of fun, and fun usually happens when your bike is pointed back down the hill. It's obviously not as single-minded as a downhill bike, but anyone looking forward to pedaling the 167 up a steep or technical climb has probably hit their head a few too many times and can now play hide-and-seek on their own"

the black and pink I can live with. But the blue just doesn't belong.

 

 

Replace the blue with white and the yellow of the ENVE rims also with white. Sorted.

you guys must be soooo #old :P

 

somehow that colour combo works for me

Naa not the same shape frame at all. Even the swing arm and shock mount are completely different

Looks very similar though as far as the swing arm and pivots, but the yeti is more rounded

There is something tricky on this setup that I don't get. Is the Main Pivot fixed or floating like the Yeti? If its fixed, the pivot onto the shock link must be a floating one, otherwise its not going to work.

I have been trying to see if thats the case. Either I cant find any info or I didnt try hard enough. On the Yeti you can clearly see the floating mech on  the bottom pivot. But if you look at the shock mount, you will notice it is slightly different to the yeti.
