i would like to see how this thing preforms i was thinkin about this before but i dident think it would be all that good
the weight is way high on the bike what you dont want it probably has a horrible wheel path and feel
this set up would suckk, the seat and pedals and everything would move as the suspension, thus making bar spins t-whips and all that stuffy weeiirrdd....maybe i dunno just my thoughts
freezeryder how would doing barspins and w-whips be weird when your doing them your not on the ground thus the suspension isent doing anything so it would do anything to mid air tricks
stupid, ugly and unuseful... looks sooo gay and why the hell would you need some kind of hard tail/soft tail sh*t or something how you call this thing? anyway it looks dumb and it must be weak
guys, this is actually a really smart idea, I talked to Chase about it at Crankworx. This way you can run as close as a dj hardtail as it gets with a fully. It allows you to have a shorter rear end, run singlespeed with no hassle, be lighter, and have more stand over while still pumping out 3" of travel.
there are other ways of getting no pedal feedbak, a concentrict design (pivot point around the chain ring axel) will pedal like a hardtail. much nicer looking and probable lighter.
That's not the point though, the point is to make it as close to a hardtail as you can while still being a fully, I've already explained that
haha or you can get a kons bass or cowan ds so you can run a neutral gear, or single speed with no tensioner, have really short chainstays, low standover, barely any pedal bob, and 4 inches of travel that you can basically lock out and run as a hardtail until you realllllly f*ck up, this is all for innovation, but there are simpler ways of accomplishing what they have done here
i did dumbass, im saying this is an innovative idea, but it is just way more complicated than necessary, its not that crazy because you can have the same benefits with a bike that is already available to the public, so stop polluting pinkbike with useless comments that arent necessary
right, the kona or cove g-spot are already available since the dawn of time. besides, who would like a bike that pivots in the middle? would you like your entire seat post moving forward? and having pedal feedback issues. (they will move up and down with every bump the suspension takes)

i can see y they have dun it but i have see things like this in the past ok not a dj frame but that was a long time ago when shoks wernt as good as they are today but will be intresting to see how it gose me thinks it wont do the rider any good espeserly there backs
hey i'm down with any company/rider willing to try to improve our riding, if this doesnt work at least its a step towards hardtail feel with fully forgiveness

That would not be such a good idea on a bike where you needed to sit and pedal, but for his style of riding, I think that is pretty friggin' clever.

i just wonder what it feels like to hove the top tube shorten as you hit stuff, weird, but i would like to try it none the less.
these guys come up with some of the dumbest looking things to ride.
no offense to cannondale, since they are trying to innovate and move ahead in the sport, but this bike has got to be the dumbest thing i've seen in a while. it doesn't even look right once you get close. that's just my opinion.
