Pitty he's back on the Alloy one for Qualie. Perchance he broke his Undead in practice?:tape:

Yeah lots of speculation that it had problems but word is it was only ever going to be used in practice at La Bresse & it will be doing practice, qualifying & race from Val Di Sole onwards.

Sorry if its already been covered, but is the suspension design on this new carbon bike the same as the old alloy model? Because I have heard murmurs that it wasnt just a dodgy factory that was the cause of the previous failures, but also a bit of a dodgy design, too many forces on too many welds and average pivots??? Not ragging on the bikes, never ridden one.. just wondering?
Not quite yet. They've put them up but are not taking pre-orders yet...
I'd say it'll be a long wait.Fanatik Bike Co said:

This is from a german translation so im not to sure if its correct.
The new Undead Revolt is based on the current aluminum model. One of the biggest differences is that the undead can no longer manage with a floating damper. The lower shock end is now attached to the main frame and no longer in the rear, as is the case in Revolt. The Undead is one of the few DH bikes, in which both main frame and swingarm are made of carbon. Is important to mention at this point that you have completely abandoned the Undead aluminum inserts in the frame. Eye pierce the two down tubes, plastic protectors. Serves to lower the protection from stone chips, so filled with the upper one very special to us Europeans, perhaps not quite comprehensible purpose - the protector is to protect the down tube when flying up on the tailgate of a pickup truck. More we want to take this opportunity to not reveal the new Evil Carbon downhill, because all other details will you betray Evil Has Kevin Walsh himself - we had Kevin get in Champery front of the camera, the video you will later this week to see .

There`s been a few good write ups about this frame , if they get it right it will be up there . What do you think of the new V10 ?
i havnt checked it out, i try not to look at other bikes too much im the type of person to get over excited and buy one then worry bout the money later haha not good. Like i said though im just not a fan or carbon dh bikes all together might get struck down for saying it but just being honest

They didn't have any trouble with engineering the bike as far as I can tell, more that Pacific (who actually manufactured the frames) screwed them over... The Carbon one is being built by a different company, pretty sure its Hodaka? I'd be willing to bet that the finished product will be ace.
As for the Carbon bike hate, do some reading... It will change your mind.

hahaha thats gold he doesnt look to impressed that theres people around that have just seen that, I did wonder why he didnt ride the carbon one in the final and now i know.
Evil are dead to me haha
Any other vids of bikes breaking ?
Wooooooow! That explains why it disappeared when it was supposed to be all over the last few races. How quick was Brook to spot a camera & act all coy.

Ive been told they were using a prototype lighter rear end on that model, and have stepped up to a beefier one
