GLuvsMtb Posted March 22, 2016 Share Nice to see something else but an RS1 on a bike. I think the 120mm version may do well in SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptor-22 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Scott,centurion, momsen, swift, cannondale all converging on a very similar design of single pivot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted March 22, 2016 Share yeah, pivot points above the chainring in order to reduce the effect of pedalling on suspension movement.  My son and I were surmising over the weekend that perhaps we won't see much 'real' development/change in frame design (including pivots etc. beyond what we know). Besides the styling and visual changes we see lately that is but rather see bigger steps in the development of the technology in forks/shocks? man my engrish can be terrible but y'all know what I mean Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, IMO. Apart from things like the DELTA link, which is nothing more than an adaptation of the single pivot, designed to make the suspension curve more progressive than a garden variety single pivot design would be.  It's all refinements at the moment. Not many more ways that you can suspend a bike than what there are at the moment. Obviously pivot placement and shock placement will always have a role to play, depending on what type of bike it is and what the designers want the characteristics to be, but for the most part it's pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CENTURION Posted March 23, 2016 Share Very Nice Bike..What does it weigh? Bike like shown (but without saddle bag, CO2 cartridge and GoPro mount) 9,7 kg. DJuice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CENTURION Posted March 23, 2016 Share I count a 32 tooth 1x round chainring there. If the chainring is already chowing the swing arm / chainstay, then they obviously can't run a 34t, even if they wanted to. This makes me think that the bike wasn't designed with 1x drivetrains in mind. A boost frame design would likely help here, or a newer narrower chainstay, at least at that point? As you might have seen, the bike is equiped with an SRM powermeter. They are not yet offering a boost version. While the frame is featuring boost standard and using the current SRM, the chain ring is 3 mm too far inside which allows 32t only. Using SRAM boost chainrings, you can go up to 36t without scratching the chain stay.
