I love My Double . It was my first Transition bike and I dont think it will be the last one i get. I put a Rock Shox PIKE on it (90-120mm)with i think suits it pretty good. since the fork has adjustable travel i can set it to 100mm for diet jumps or 4x, but i can also set it to 120mm for some freeride fun
Great geometry, has a bit of a freeride feel because of the head tube angle (68.5 degrees when I bought it, 68 degrees now) but not so much that it takes away from its jumping ability. The bike really comes alive on jumps/pump tracks, and is easy to manual. Only recommendation I have is that it would come with a stiffer/burlier derailleur hanger. A bit pricey, but it is such an unbelievably nice bike.
This bike is perfect for transitioning from freeride / slopestyle / downhill to dirt jump / full rigid. I lock out the front & rear shocks as often as possible so I can get used to riding without shocks. It has greatly increased my skill / style / confidence in the air hitting bigger jumps and getting more accurate landings
My Double is a couple of years old now and I still love it. The Double is an extremely versatile bike that can be set up single speed (as is mine) or with gears. The bike feels solid and accelerates quickly with its short, stiff chainstays. The perfect bike for 4x, dirt jumps or slopestyle.
it's good, just a little much in the dollar signs. lots of great people work for this company and i do support a bussiness when i feel like a custom that matters. if your looking for a sweet fun ride and good people standing behind strong craftmenship than u can't go wrong with buying a transition bike

This bike is amazing! it can shred anything from dirt jumps to slopestyle to freeride and you can be comfortable on it all... the frame is a bit on the heavy side compared to frames like the rampant and killswitch but a with light build you can easily keep it under 30LBS
The Double, I think, gets overlooked. People aren't sure if it's a DJ or a FR/Slopestyle bike. It's both and it can be used as an AM bike too. I love this bike. I use it for DJ, AM, FR and light DH riding. I even use it for XC riding (I have an adjustable seatpost). The head angle on this frame doesn't make it a very good climber but it will make it up most climbs. But when the trail starts to get nasty and it drops into a DH is when the geo shines! I've done some light DH riding on it (I have a 130mm fork on it) and it does awesome! It's a fun bike that's not going to break the bank!
Without doubt the most fun you can have on a bike... best bought when not in a relationship as you won't want to put it down... my downhill bike hasn't had a look in over the last 6 weeks since I've finished building this... I just can't get enough... the bike handles incredibly well - it's so nimble and agile... very well balanced in the air... and nice and quick across the ground... fun fun fun... DIRT magazine were not wrong to include this in their top 100 three years in a row... buy one!...
its a good bike frame geometry but the quality control didn't impress me much .
rear shock has play and inserts are .20mm too small so when you lift up the seat it clunks from the play .
here is how to fix it

The Double is a very fun bike. I'm running sort of a flickable all mountain set up with a 130 mm fork and a coil rear shock and it is a great trail bike that likes to jump and rails turns. The short chain stays make it super responsive and it generally rides like a hardtail - except it has the squish when you need it. Well built frame with great geometry, good tire clearance, and a good rider-owned company.
this bike is unbelievable, i've been riding it d=for two seasons, and the 3.5 inches in the back (its 4 now) is absolutely great for the DJs, i've also ridden tons of street and park on mine with no problem, and the occasional freeride trail with 8 foot drop. GREAT BIKE!
excellent price point, solid bike that can be locked out for pump track, or loosened for light slope style. Also, it can be paired with a 130-140mm fork to make it a baby Bottle Rocket for freeriding.
I have one. It's BITCHIN'. Handles great on XC racing and everything that I throw at it. Ultra responsive. It's everything short of a DH bike. Get one. You don't know what you're missing out on.
I've ridden 2000+ dollar hardtail and full squish DJ's, and my 08 double decimated them in terms of capability on jumps and street (And even light trails). I highly recommend this bike.
it can do anything...trails to urban. very solid and the rp23 is a perfect match for it.
plus its a transition...they stand behind their product til the end

I think this is going to be my next bike.
Usable with big fork
+ quet nice as well.
Single ring free ride (Custom)setup 4 urban freeride, I think.

Great if you stick to its intended purpose- jumping and slope style. Rear suspension allows you to pop insanely well on hops and off jumps.
One of the best and smoothest slope bikes ever, short enough travel for dirt jumping, but enough for downhill!
soo much fun, only complaint was the rp23, i just dont like air shocks, got a tftuned van rc and it rocks.
Amazing bike its very light and is very agial. It is such a good bike i got my 12 year old son one of these amazing bikes
you will find it to be very similar to a bottle rocket. i ride mine at greenlake in saettle and loved it.

The Double is built for the hardtail junkie looking for the perfect short suspension balance to smooth out dirt jumps biker cross tracks and slopestyle courses. Designed with agressive hardtail geometry, the extremely low slung Double will have you throwing tricks first and worrying about the landing later. If BMX tracks are what you are into, the Double’s super responsive rear end with a low bottom bracket can rail berms like no other full suspension. This could be the funnest bike we have ever designed.
