Head Tube Angle: 65 Degrees Weight: 0.7 lighter than an Evil Revolt is the word on the street (unofficial weight) Travel: 200mm Sizes: Small / Medium / Large Release Date: Launching the model at Crankworx in Whistler in August, so expect frames in the early fall. Course Quote: "It's like a moto track out there, but with big rocks! I'm looking for a top 10 on Saturday"
ne one looks much better than the old one, but i think this bike could really use a v10ish style fender on it, that linkage is sitting right behind the tire right out in the open.
(in response to telmofebras comment) I think the only manufactuer that seems to have mastered swoopy frames is santa cruz, i mean look at the nomad, v10 or driver 8 and they all look the part, and any other company that tries to copy just makes a meal of it.
i think this new bike as a better look than the other, but still they need to renew the desing, create the lines of the bike a bit more curved .. in my opinon it will be much better compared to other model's it wil give the bike a new 'style'
Curved tubes are so awful. I don't want Rocky to end up like Norco's new line, full of swoops and waves and looking more like a wet noodle than a bike.
yeah, who really cares about the factual advantages of curved tubing? I know I've personally invested too much time and $ into my hardcore mtb image to risk it all by riding a bike with curved tubes.
Maybe if it had some fake bullet holes or a barbwire tatoo graphic...
