looks like a Karpiel Disco Volante. Not liking the back pivot for a Team DH.

no, it looks like a chumba f5. and actually they both use the same frame design too.

the chumba one would perform better on dh because it uses 4 pivots in sort of a thrust link desing

its a Chumba F5 with smaller tubing it looks like. and different shock mounting system. this would feel like poop compared to a F5!

i personally prefer the simple look of tubed frame sets over hyrdo formed frames that look like they are melting Razz it's got a floating brake arm anyway so its gonna perfom excellently , think foes DH 2:1 !

Yea, im diggin teh oldskool look. looks simple and tough. They're not all about designing crazy wacky 6 pivot suspensions and shit. I like that a lot.

its supposed to be a simple singlepivot not an over engineered single pivot with many useless links

single pivot simplicity - like orange, morewood.
Not too many little bearings to bother with, just one big and stiff axle.
Keep it simple.

looks bombproof, massive brace on the headstock, hogely oversized shock mount on the swingarm, massive CNC unit at the BB. would like to know how the actual swingarm is constructed, looks like 3 box section units layered together.
