2010 Commencial Absolut SX - Sneak Peak

[ozzy osbourne]

Check it,

Absolut SX

Initially designed for a slopestyle life, the Abso¬lut SX is going to show that its range of abilities will be much wider. Modern, compact, light, with a 140mm /5,5inches of travel, it will be as comfortable in a bike park as in a twisty downhill trail. Developed and build with Cédric GRACIA’s input, this bike is extremely reliable and knows how to boogy!
All the secrets of the Absolut SX

The Absolut SX uses numerous new technical solutions:
- Has a great size /stiffness /weight balance ratio.
- The main pivot point of the contact system is located on the bottom bracket, enabling a singlespeed build.
- Conical integrated headtube 1.5 - 1.1/8inches: ideal if you want a 160mm fork.
- New 10mm shock mount axles: Easier to remove and stronger

that thing is sex as. i love it. it just looks so nice an clean.the pivot around the bb thing is very good also because you can run ss with out a tensioner, like the bass/cowan ds

Strangely, the thing I like most is the bike stand.

Rear end looks rather long... Looks the sex though, and i'd definitely snap one up if i had the chance

Probably to allow for rear end movement under compression.

Seat tube is situated infront of the bottom bracket! My guess would be for seat buzz clearance, being a sx bike which most people prefer to run there seat lower than your dh/am type bike.

To a degree.

It does bend inward (towards head tube) where the wheel is 90 degrees to the ground, then it bends back to behind the bottom bracket.

Makes sence.. frame is a bit trippppppy lol

Yeah, Im still not sold on the tapered headtube on an sx bike. Bike would look alot more cleaner with an integrated 1 1/8 setup like the stps come with. I also think with the forks setup at 140mm on a slightly slanted table makes the geo and front end look rather bogus.
