SuperrealA11an (Jun 27, 2008 at 3:06)

yh i think soo too

samuel5 (Jun 27, 2008 at 11:07)

The Domain, just keeping it affordable

iggz (Jun 27, 2008 at 17:22)

its no where near as dialed as the rest of the bike

transam711 (Jan 24, 2009 at 19:09)

I respect the fact that a Domain is an affordable fork, but on an Intense SS with full Saint and DT swiss components, price doesn't seem to be an object.

Doesn't this bike look like the Santa Cruz Nomad? Looks almost identical except the curved top tube of the Nomad.

In any case if it rides like a Nomad then it's a sweet ride!!

freerider-666 (Dec 15, 2008 at 8:19)

it looks more like a VP-FREE actually just the rear shock mount on the top tube of the fram insted of the downtube!! but yes nice bike !!!!

imperator-dshow (Jun 27, 2008 at 13:54)

its weird that they'd put on rockshox stuff anyway (rs=sram)

alexisdhbraker (Jun 27, 2008 at 14:57)

yes thats true....rockshox = SRAM..... why? if its SHIMANO stuff...really weird

mauudeavila (Jun 29, 2008 at 12:54)

if you actually read the article you wold know why, shimano asked them to bring they own stuff, frames, forks, shocks, etc.

brule (Jul 1, 2008 at 7:49)

Yes we brought our own stuff and RS makes good suspension as do a lot of others out there, but it's not like we've got a bike closet full of extra suspension. We run what we have and the Domain is a great fork so far.

Totem !!!!!

sevenpoint3 (Jun 28, 2008 at 10:29)

the wheelset costs a lot more then the fork they should have thrown a higher end fork on to complement the vivid better but still ill bike i would love to have it

notenufbikes (Dec 10, 2008 at 19:18)

j-trim-jamis (Jun 20, 2008 at 13:21)

SICK!!!!!

suckafreedmr (Jun 27, 2008 at 11:13)

yeah sick bike, but why a domain? a nice lyrik would have been amazing

dbcg (Dec 10, 2008 at 7:38)

I LOVE IT! What's the 'SS' stand for? Super Sick?

gary1 (Dec 10, 2008 at 12:55)

SS stands for Slopestyle. It would go much better with a Totem at 160 or a Lyrik.

dbcg (Dec 10, 2008 at 13:28)

Lyrik=POO New Totems r the shizzy tho

gary1 (Dec 10, 2008 at 13:29)

Lyrik is the best Long Travel AM out there. End of.

freerider-666 (Dec 15, 2008 at 8:17)
