Pottie is on the SC (Suspension Centre) team. They're switching from Intense to Radon bikes.

 

Garlic eater is still on Solid. Expect another Saffer joining Garlicke on Solid

would lurv to hear how that Radon rides.  Might have started out as a small brand licencing bits and pieces from Cube but then again, look where nukeproof ended up. Its awesome that fringe brands are making headlines and headway into the bigger market, if only because bike prices are skyrocketing highlighting the lower cost-benefit ratio of the fringe brands.

 

Oh mega: have you ridden the Solid stuff yet? Thoughts?

Ja agree. Radon also seem to be going the direct marketing route like Canyon, YT and Solid. Pottie says it's like a Trek Session but with fsr (I think) is suppose a lot like the Norco.

 

No. Not ridden the Solid but Adi and Garlicke seem to love it.

 

I've ridden the Banshee Rune and Darkside. The Rune felt like a better execution of my Tracer and the Darkside felt like a flicky V10.

 

Rob J was staying with us while he was out here. He was on a Strive. So hot that thing. I love that shapeshifter thing they have. And he reckons keep a look out for the new Canyon DH bike. It's going to look like the Strive but with longer travel.

[Guest Omega Man]

@ Capricorn. Has the patent on the Horst link expired? I heard today that Rocky has withheld the release of their new DH bike till the patent expires.

So does Radon and Solid ship to SA?

I don't know. I know that Rob is looking to re introduce Canyon here but I don't know the details of how he plans to do it.
