Newly Released Bikes General

[Milpool]

If it helps, Troy Bayliss already picked his up from Just Ride today. Probably already put 200kms on it.

No-one will pay $19k though. They'll negotiate down to $14.5k & get a bloody bargain.

Not a motor in sight

67.5° HA on XC race bikes now.

 

[Mr Crudley]

Atleast the frame and forks match nicely, but I haven't grumbled about the cable routing yet.

67.5° HA on XC race bikes now.

Normal spark is 67.2. But the RC is 68.5. I wonder what gets raced on rowdy XC.

I ride a TREK Superfly 9.9SL, it was the precursor to the Top Fuel and now the Supercaliber.

The bike weighed 9.92kg up until I fitted a dropper, now 10 and whatever... the dropper has transformed the bike.

A mate and I had one, his was a carbon 9.9 and mine was the AL Pro. We both absolutely loved that bike. It wasn't super stiff but was great almost everywhere. Years later and on different rigs (Ripmo V1 and Prime V2) we both talk about how good a bike they were.

I don't ride enough XC to justify a new XC bike so it will do me for while longer.
Offset bushes, dropper and 780mm bars have made it a bit more playful, possibly a 120mm fork next.

Both those Oranges look sick.

 

[hifiandmtb]

I think the first one has COVID19.

 

[Mr Crudley]

I think the first one has COVID19.

Does look a bit Grim Donut to me.

 

[Asininedrivel]

I don’t normally bitch about the cost of mtb’s but holy shit that is insane.

Me neither but there's a first time for everything - wtf is going on there?? That is about $6k more than it should be imo - even taking into account SWorks tax and an enormous margin.

 

[pink poodle]

It's the kind of bike you get when you want people to know you can.

 

[rockmoose]

I'll just stick with my cheaparse Yeti.

2021 Commencals released - including the Clash.

Interesting that fork on the RockShox equipped bike is blurred out and “coming soon”. My money is on a resurrected Totem to compete with the 38.
