i think it looks sick but it looks like they copied the frame design from the Intense 951. the head tube and frame look exactly like the 951 minus the shock placement

900g is 1.986 lbs. I'd go out on a limb and say it's basically 2 lbs lighter.

bigburd (May 7, 2010 at 3:15)

And probably stronger too , but I never heard of V-10 lacking in the strength department anyway , I hope this carbon is as strong as they say cos that seat post mast is the skinnyest I ever seen: Razz

stryke Plus (May 6, 2010 at 23:07)

there is some trickery with the weights theyre saying

theyre saying its 900g lighter then what they raced on last year, and seen as theyre running an air shock this year this will be a large amount, the swingarm is not carbon so i doubt its 900g

+ 1

Jcougarred (May 7, 2010 at 14:23)

i think the main idea with carbon is the strength first then if its weight saving then its a bonus,especcially with frames, carbon will always be stroner than ally.
