Bwahh hah hah hah ......the expansion of its Taiwan....quality control facility....

Best. Colour. Ever. I think Specialized had a colour like this also

Same old, same old. For the benefit of those that think 27" wheels are SO much better The Butcher looks pretty much like a Heckler with a different suspension design, so the biggest difference between a medium and large will be the extended wheelbase (which isn't bad for stability at speed)...

Ready for bedtime Don't fret; Sam will still be able to wear all his TLD stuff when he hits the sack!

Call a spade a spade Akin to calling Yeti, Specialized, Trek and Santa Cruz "American manufacturers"

Definitely looking at this in the near future

What a load of sh*t!!! Who has EVER had to show their horn was working when pulled for a RBT? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Revolutionary? You missed one: W.A.N.K

Correction! I guess I should have used Cyclinic as the example.

If money was no object..... Probably not too different to what you could get someone like NS Dymanics to achieve if you knew what you wanted. He obviously has the added advantage of having a suspension tech rebuilding stuff (and a few spare shocks with a few different tunes) to work with.

No patent to deal with on four-bar now "FSR" patent (which $pecialized bought from Horst-link) has now expired I believe - that's why every man and their dog are now using it (especially in the US where the big-$ would have fought tooth and nail to prevent them previously).

Hightower incoming. http://forums.mtbr.com/santa-cruz/santa-cruz-hightower-1001288-2.html#post12429167 Looks like VPP is getting closer to DW link (& all the other copies) with every new update

Other than your BB height and a slight alteration to your trail figure, it won't really affect any of your geometry. I'd be surprised if most people could even tell the difference, other than some extra pedal strikes here and there.

Weight distribution? But it does alter the centre of gravity (seated) when the bike is angled up or down
