Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[Hairy]

The idea makes a lot of sense and the bike probably performs great

 

BUT as soon as you have to go through 36 bearings to look for A creak / or replace 36 bearings you may want A conventional bike 

 

 

36 is probably way more than there actually is I count 14 + 2 sets of headset bearings 

at least you no longer have the following issues...

Agreed, but still think it has a future, if they ever get it off the ground. Think of all the effort put into rear suspension while the front gets the same treatment with minor tweaks year after year...

 

I think the major advantage along with increased torsional rigidity is the HTA effect - it doesn't reduce under braking and on descents like a conventionally forked bike.

Whyte S-150C Works

 

I have seen quite a few Whyte bikes in the UK in July when we were there and I actually wouldn't mind having one. They have some very nice 27.5, 27.5+ bikes but helluva expensive.

 

Hou die rubber op die grond!

Totally agree with you, they are quite expensive, but a very well know brand in the UK (like you stated). 

 

A cool feature of the above one is you have to ability to run 27.5, 27.5+ (if I am not mistaken) and 29" wheels.

 

They also have a unique geometry.
