ppfff. Carbon for downhill will never take off because it is inferior to metal in every way. Same with air shocks. Stick to xc. It looks terrible, I hate it. I hate santa cruz and v10s. Why would you even need 10 inches of travel??
ha. So it went from 'nah, haven't been riding much lately, might stick to the xc bike for a bit' to I might just buy the sickest bike available in what, 2 weeks?? haha. Nice. Will have to line up some dh laps when I'm back and I might even let you do some laps on my far superior metal v10 that won't snap 'just riding along'.
