how is it an attempt when they did this last year?

 yeh, this is a full-on success, not attempt!

 I belive this is the Furies third year in the UCI

 I dont know about riding this bike but surely best lookin bike so far....

 What is so bad about the boxxer?

 This is the boxxer RC, It has compression and rebound adjustments, but they arent as precise as the race. there is no high/low speed compression or rebound. no bottom out control and its coil and oil like the race. I just hope the final spec of this bike will at least come with a world cup or a 40. this is a serious shred machine and it deserves better

 No, it's the Boxxer Race. What you are describing is the Boxxer Team with it's greater adjustment. There is nothing wrong with the Race forks, a lot of the guys I race with regularly have been using them this season without issue, myself included. Granted they don't have all the bells and whistles like some but for the price they are a good bit of kit. Don't forget, not everyone has a bottomless pit of cash to fund their bike with - and this is the Team spec, the World Cup is the one above it and comes with 40's etc.

 yes, i raced with the boxxer race as well, no doubt, all the boxxers are good, and its my fault i did not know there was a better "version" or better spec'ed fury. sorry for the confusion, although i did spot some boxxer RC's without a rebound adjustment on the new Specialized big hits. not sure why or how it passed inspection. again sorry for the confusion, didnt know there was going to be a world cup spec for this bike

 and to be honest a lot of pro riders and normal riders prefer the teams to the world cups as it is less faff and the coil feels better then air

 yee agreed they should have made it higher for clearince they lose so much because of the placement although this bike looks so dialed!

 Agreed.

 im not sure either, maybe they are trying to compete with rockshocks vivid air? possibly a new DH air shock we havent seen yet...

 haha the dhx air 5.0 isn't new at all

 thats not what im talking about, im thinking this might be a new air shock, not the DHX 5.0...

 I agree, it doesnt look like the old dhx5 air shock.

 im ont big on the floating BB but its still sick!!

 omg thats sick!!!!

 How are you supposed to access the adjusters on the shock? Most shocks have an adjuster on the side blocked by the frame, even the ones that aren't IN the frame look hard to get too...

 na you can if you look and on the shock there is a little blue adjuster

 I think the yellow and carbon look that GT are using with Sick Mick and Beumonts bikes is better than this blue and red scheme
