And I thought the Alloy version was Hot.

 

[theMerryPrankster]

Hot damn.

That thing is gorgeous.

 

[24alpha]

That is actually quite sexy!

 

[Megadude]

The alloy one is pretty sexy too.

Nerf Herder rides one, he hasn't had any issues as far as I'm aware. I've had a few runs on it and it was pretty impressive.


*Disclaimer: I'm in no way connected with the importers etc. I just think its a pretty gnarly frame that peeps would find interesting.

 

[heavyp]

looks nice very nice.

Wonder who will have the next carbon dh bike ? Specialized im thinking demo 8 will be under sam this season.

I thought nerf was on a propane rage?
That thing is the sex, naked carbon is just arousing..

Some closer pics of the proto ... since the others our out I may as well share these now.



The shock does get quite a bit of mud from the rear ... however, this is more then easily addressed with a neoprene boot. Or not riding in the mud

Talk of a mud guard sometime in the future.

A PYR of my Alu one sometime very soon.

Damn you Nerf, every time i think ive decided what frame ill be getting you bring out something new like this lol

 

[indica]

That carbon looks HAWT!
Why no carbon for you nerf? Are they not around yet? Is there a weight on the carbon big travel beast? Looks a lot less over built than my Fury....

I would be very interested to hear more about the 140mm frame.

Imagine it would be a banging AM machine.

 

[stringbean]

first bike i've seen in a long time that i've been blown away from

The 8" would be cool, but I'd love the 7 or 5" as a trail bike.
Do they just change shock and top link, or stays also?
Very nice, but small tubed carbon has me a touch concerned, would like to know how fat walled the tubes are. The Antidote is pretty plush to protect it anyway.

I'd like to try one out in the shorter travel versions as well.

I would have ordered one of the 140mm versions by now if I didn't have to buy a house this year.

I think I need to do more overtime.

140mm version,

170mm,

 

[jmeers]

The people have spoken Nerf, hurry up and get the short travel versions in as a demo

140mm version,

170mm,

That's slack(Pun intended).
So, spot the differences.
Is the vertical bit at the front of the seat stay shorter on the 140 where it connects to the chain stay?
Top link apears to be at different angle, but that cou7ld be caused by a few things.
They look sweet.
Are they doing an ally version? Steel? I'd by one in steel

 

[dunndog]

Wow. I'll take a 140mm thanks..
