I have always been a big fan of Alutechs. I almost imported a frame, but that would have been stupid  :mellow:

 

I was way too broke at the time  <_<

In hind sight that was a mistake. 

 

That is probably the only bike that can't house a full sized water bottle Id ever consider - based on its looks of course.

I must be looking at a different bike ?

No room for a bottle on the inside of the triangle there ?

Just ditch that pesky dropper post, install a rigid one and the strap on a couple of Triathlon under seat bottle holders and you're set.  :thumbup:

 

or...

So Slacker option, flip chip, fatter rubber, more carbon hooped options, longer, lower BB and some clever tech on the dropper and tools.  The perfect Enduro going by previous critiques. 

 

Also, it's a looker.

Interesting, new molds after only one year? Was MY2017 that bad? 

I see they changed the suspension to be more progressive as well. Strange that if they're following current trends, and market demands, that they didn't do something about the leverage ratio as well and use a longer stroke shock. Apparently this is an issue for heavier riders.

I agree re the shock and leverage ratio. They need to take a page from YT's book. That said that black and red frame is beaut!

I'd have it hanging on the lounge wall!

Haha.

 

I already have a map of the PDS and 2 bike frames hanging on my lounge wall.
