Thanks everyone, I'm Astro engineer and happy to hear everthing about this frame design, here is my dream to have a first one and only one full-carbon DH frame in the world without any brand, am sure haven't any frame manufacture can do or want to do this, we got many feedback about negative and positive, but Astro will always think advance than other manufacture even bicycle brand.

Unless that's carbon I hope the swelling comes down in it's gut, once a shock goes in there it will look clusterfucked. Cute and all but what's the need for a down tube that sized

I feel like it's an oddball from the future, the graphics and all...perhaps the 'Astro' has something to do with it also?

Astro is a big manufacturing plant in TW. They make the bikes for KHS and Azonic. This one will probably end up as the 2013 KHS DH rig.

apologize! i know your a reputable company and all but my ears didnt want to hear that first thing in the morning, i now want to vomit all over why would khs downgrade to that? i know its just a speculation but still

Don't sweat it, astro has a strong engineering staff and make good products. I AM sad they mostly ripped off our floating suspension design but that's how the Taiwan market rolls. Astro doesn't make our bikes but I am sure they know someone at the plant we use in Taiwan.
I'm just speculating on this being the new KHS bike for next year. It may end up as an Azonic or even a Tomac.
