    Default Lahar DHV M9 First Look

    So it’s a downhill bike. That’s nice. It’s all been done before – hasn’t it? What has anyone got left to offer? Check out this Lahar and see.

    Check it out here.

    Yay first post.

    Well I gotta say it does look purdy with all that carbon fibre and it certainly appears to have all the mod cons. Any word on Australian pricing, is it much different from the NZ pricing?

    Given I've just refurbished my DH steed (which is also from NZ) its unlikely I'll be looking for a year or two but it certainly is being put on the short list.

    So what happens when you smack the shit out of that lower strut?

    Supposedly nothing, according to Lahardesign. I didn't manage to hit it, but since it moves with the suspension anyway, I'd guess not a great deal.
    First let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about. Our model is the trapezoid.

    Good article.
    Looks really long, I think the mud shot with the 40's pushed right down in the crowns says it all.

    How about the centre of gravity? The gearbox is up pretty high by the looks. I wonder if this too is such a good thing. Seems a bit of a shame so much effort is put into the techy side and then they stuff something as simple as geometry.

    :S right ... just have a better geeze at some of the photos on there website . the main frame design looks simple , but i'd be more concerned about the the seat post mast
    seeing that its high up n all and somone like me 90 kgs upwards would put alot of force on that one section , as for the rear it reminds me of the old balfas , but none the less nice
