Holy shit 3 disc breaks and 2 rear shocks are you kidding me! thats insane!!

THIS BIKE IS ONLY GOOD FOR; A FOUR HUNDRED POUND FAT CHICK WHO THINKS AIR IS LIGHTER THAN COIL, IS WORRIED ABOUT GROUNG CLEARANCE AND LIKES TO USE HER BRAKES ALOT............

I'm not being rude, but swap those forks for fox 40s and lose a front brake and most of the teenage boys on here would be pulling themselves around their bedrooms.
But yeah, I'm sure you're right, the manufacturers probably did just spend millions on the research, development and manufacture of prototypes so fashionista scenesters without the first ****ing clue about physics or engineering could have a good ol' laugh at them.
You might not like it but if it came with Nicolai stickers on...again...most of you guys who are slagging it off would be pulling yourselves arou...

DINK BOY YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF... DONT YOU KNOW SHE'S UNDERAGE! MAN WHEN YOU RIDE HER YOU KNOW WERE "IN THE KNOW"! WHAT A JOKE! YOU MAKE ME LAUGH!

if my calculations are correct, 1mm of downward pressure on the front brake lever will sent your hurtling 100m over your bars

wtf is HEAD doing in mountainbikes, stick with tennis and dont ruin your reputation by building something so ignorant.

2 front breaks has its advantages such as less twisting preasure on the fork which at a guess would help it preform somewhat better under breaking. As for the 2 rear shocks i somewhat struggle to see how it could be an advantage.

another bike paris hilton might buy - even though she doesnt need it. (You'll get it if you've seen that photo around PB!)

bender's new bike ! 
jsut need a super monster fork and he would love it ^^ well you guys are little stupid.. the rear shocks are probably made so that you can set 50-50 on em ? dont you think ? like weighting 80 kg then its 40 kg on each shock ? (:

First of all, they don't "break", they "brake". Secondly I'm sure there is a hydraulic splitter or something that pushes brake fluid through evenly to both calipers from a single lever.

I'm sorry what? Isn't that front brake mount in danger of being plowed by the upper legs?
And three brakes, two shocks, internal gearbox, and 2.7 tires....looks like a Bender bike to me.

the brake mount wont tounch the fork. Look at the risse bigfoot or any of their others, they have the same set up. fork bottoms out before it his the mount.

It's not Grip Shift, it's the Rohloff twist shifter. There's only one shifter for the Rohloff hubs, so they had no choice in th matter.

Why would u even need two rotors on the front wheel? Plus, even if it wouldnt hit the brake mount, the cable would still be damaged cuz its zap strapped to the fork and there would be some serious bending and snapping there. All together i dont think this bike would work out in the long run

Actually hydraulic brakes are controlled by hoses, not cables, and they don't bend or snap, despite your ridiculous claims. I'm sure the bike works fine, so what if it's a little bit over the top? A lot of bikes look different.

I used to own a risse bigfoot. (in the back of one of my albums) and I had the cable ziptied to the fork leg the same way. Believe me it works fine, the bike wont just stop working because of it..

No need for harsh language. How am I supposed to tell when someone is kidding? Not like you can detect tone of voice over the internet.

erm.... do you not remember when we invented the tank, then the germans tried to copy it, and failed miserably. it wasnt till ww2 that the germans had better tanks

there are some sick german bikes! look at those nicolai or alutech, they are nice bikes, especially cause they are handmade in germany(its the true there are pics on the web where you can see them working), no made in taiwan!
and n o, im not a patriotist and i dont really care about countries

Those examples of German bikes you gave are bent ass huck bikes...You could have gave an example like "Solid?"

I'd love to demo this for a few days. Highly adjustable suspension, lower air pressures because of the two shocks, Inverted Fork with offset crowns putting the stanctions further in front of the bike and increasing the forks turning radius, truly effortless 1-finger braking with two front brake calipers, not to mentioned decreased braking temperatures brake fade, and also what appears to be a Floating Brake at the rear end to keep the rear suspension alive during breaking, crazy gearbox system with no rear derailure to damage. This bike is a crazy cool concept.

Can someone please tell me what is the point of two parallel rear shocks? It won't alter the bottom out / progression from having just one... seems pointless.
I have seen two rear shocks set up in succession, and that kind of makes sense - when one bottoms the second begins to compress, but this looks useless.

In basic speak; Placing a 150-PSI shock close to the swing arm's pivot point provides more arm travel, but won't support quite as much weight, where as a shock placed further away supports more, but has less travel for a given piston stroke. Toss in another 150 PSI shock, and you retain lots of arm travel AND suport in a "compact" setup. The "adjustment" possibilities are mind boggling. :-)

Watch out for this guy, next thing he'll be telling you is that this bike needs slicks and a headlight. Sketchy fellow, this one.

Although some people seem to think that disliking this bike is some sort of fashion thing, the truth is that people were experimenting with twin shocks and dual disc brakes at least ten years ago so this is nothing anywhere near being a new or original idea. What is worse than this is the clearly terrible geometry, making this a truly terrible bike on any trail that has corners on it.....

what is that bike called????
Ive seen it in lots of pics,
but i have no clue what its called.
So if someone could tell me that would be great thanks.

I have a feeling that the bike has around 8-9" of travel. Is that too short for you? Remember that travel is measures as in the distance from the start and stop points of the axle, not the stroke or length of the shock.
- 4 0
If not more than 8-9 inches of travel. Take a look at the piston "indicator" o-rings, then traject a rough angle from the Swing Arm's pivot point, to where the rear axle would reside at near-full compression. I'm betting MORE, based on the picture alone. I couldn't locate any info of this bike, so it's mere speculation. I don't think the bike looks that bad except for the top-tube shape. JMHO

I think it needs a monocoque front end, or maybe hydroformed. Something like the Intense M6 or the older M1. If I'm not mistaken, though, I think the frame on this bike is carbon fiber.

Yep, I agree with you front-end sugestions for extra strength. Recognize the fork at all? HUGE inverted uppers! Nice!
