Super_mil Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Very minimalist, but aesthetically does not do it for me.Will probably cost a packet too. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11234174/p5pb11234174.jpg nonky 1

Bizkit031 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Santa Cruz or Devinci or what about Those Polygons
Mada3400 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 personally i think its awesome, but will they make it in aluminum because as far as i can see that one is made of expensive nonky 1
nigelhicks Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 same bottom pivot style as the Devinci - pivoting around the BB housing. Looks interesting ...Not too sure about the singlesided seatstay ... but hey if it works! Sorry Mill and Mayhem - but I think that is a MASSIVE improvement on the asthetics compared with the old Demo which looked like a tank of metal arms IMO .... Still would hate to see the pricetag though LazyTrailRider 1

The current Demo will be for the lower spec and they will be in 650B wheel size. Talks that the S Works will be some where in the R130K mark. So I don't think one will come to our shores.

Still would hate to see the pricetag thoughI like the linkage. It's pretty unique and interesting, and very different to the previous one. But the front triangle is where it all goes pear shaped for me. LOVE the exposed shock concept but I just think the rest of the triangle wasn't really given much thought. Maybe it's just cos the top tube is soooo thin compared to the rest of it. Increase the diameter of the TT and it may be loads better. But for me, the front triangle (from the closed side where there isn't any well placed black paint) is just... meh
nonky Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 The only reason the bike is so PRETTY is because the downhill route is soooooooooo SCARY.
nigelhicks Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Gee thanks Nige so my Demo is a Tank hey hahahaha yip Sean it is ... hahahhaa .. In My Humble Opinion! ... hahaha No i have honestly never ever liked that old design ... to much stuff going on Sean32 1
Headshot Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Probably just my eyes, but that bike looks all wrong - way too steep at the front. What are the actual specs because it must be an optical illusion... cspurdens81 1
nigelhicks Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Specs havent been released yet - they have some 2015 demo specs up but i think its for the normal demo - not the S-works What is interesting 12x135mm rear axle!! ... WHY???I mean fair enough - new 7spd XX1 is spacered to 150 - but that really limits hub choice Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
nigelhicks Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 and a pressfit BB!!! .... WHY!!!!! http://dougleschan.com/the-recruitment-guru/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/headhunter-why.png ThePubSA and Dirty Sanchez 2
