Empire cast frame :O A casting made out of aluminium in a permanent moulding process... I look quite well made. I hope i will be good.

Bos suspension quite an old make but just started being compared with fox marzocchi so on i say theyre much better forks too be put in comparision with avalanche probably same price wise

Check out the review of them on pinkbike i dunno if you know how the suspension on moto gp bikes works its pressurised well these forks work in the same way hence the piggy back too probably the best triple clamps on the current market

only sometimes. I bet that bike is very light and strong at the same time. Does anyone know how much does bos fork weigh? I'd love to have that bike.

flag dh-pete (Jun 11, 2008 at 14:35)
The bike is not so light, The frame is around high 9 LBS, The Bos fork weighs 8.2 LBS too, This build was definitely not for a weight weenie but at a guess would handle awesome, There has been a few problems with this frame though because one of the test prototypes snapped whilst riding in the alp's, They have gone through a little refining though, I can't wait to see the production model and i like how the top roller is bolted to the frame! tup

there's a reason why casting hasn't been used up till now, and why it probably won't ever catch on, if you've ever studied metal working/forming grain structures and surface properties you'd know - casting just isn't a realistic process for making an mtb dh frame - In order to attain adequate strength, it will never be lighter than a 'conventional' tubed frame, nor cheaper either!Thumbs Down
