 As nlitworld stated above, the new DHS Mono is radically different to the old one. The pictured one at Eurobike isn't the final version either. The final one should be/have:
2lbs lighter
1.5" headtube
Built in bump stops
Innovative detachable ISCG plate
Reverse fitting rear shocks to reduce unsprung mass (new fender also)
New QR 12 x 150 axle
New bolt on mech hanger
Increased tyre clearance
Reduced travel from 10.5" to 9.5"

To the eye its the same but put a 2009 model next to the finished 2010 model & they are radically different.

 I've seen it plenty of times. Just the size of that air shock is very un-needed haha.

 Verry, Especially in a bad spot.

 Agreed, but apart from that shock which is new last year, that bike is 4 years old now, so not really futuristic. Still awesome bikes.

 Except for the fact this frame was redesigned with losing 2lbs of frame weight and gaining the ability to easily run an iscg chain guide a 1.5 headtube with integrated fork bump stops and yet another updated version of their Curnutt Air shock. Brent definitely did his homework when redesigning the new frame. Looks really good.

 that must be the biggest air shock ever!!! but it will get hit by stones and mud when you ride it... so it will get shafted up!

 it is because it's a 420mm x 125mm air shock and a rear fender can be made.

 That's going to have to be some wacky kind of fender.

 Just use a inner tube,make holes and mount it with straps onto the frame.

 but still, thats a crap spot to have a stantion hanging out. its going to get scratched and the seals will get all bugged up.

 not realy actualy in moto sports they have their air shocks with a mud fender on the shock it self to protect the stantions from rocks,dirt and mud

 does anyone else think those shocks are big enough...? because i do..

 Most Foes bikes are running a 2:1 compression ratio, meaning for every 2 inches of travel, the shock compresses 1 inch. The foes DH bike is 10' travel, meaning a 5 inch stroke shock. There are a lot of benefits to low compression ratios, and I can see it being the way of the future for high-performance bikes.

 you can run lower air pressure with the 2:1 system just like on the coil shock version but then with coils.You can run like a 125lbs spring for example + dual spring rate system is genius(atv's and MX bikes using it for decades).

 I've talked to Ohlins a while ago and they said they can make a custom shock for this bike

 Last year it used a remote reservoir which worked extremely well (feels exactly like coil just more tunable to different setups). Curious to see how this compares.
