Deity Carbon - The DC31 Mohawk Handlebar
Yeah you're right haha I don't know what I was thinking actually.
318 g's. Very light though still but not this. Hmm well if I had 200 bucks I guess I'd get these
And yeah I have a lot of faith in carbon now. I'd trust em. Consider that you have a fork absorbing a lot of the stress too.

If the goal here is to be light, then I don't see the point, because the Spank 777's are cheaper, more rise options, probably stronger, wider, and about 80 grams lighter.

someone deleted a comment I replied to saying something about this kind of bike leading to new things that were once impossible. Why did that get removed?

Someone needs to plank in mid air on a bike. I would, but I don't have the balls.

Top reason probably being that falling hurts so much more when you're fully grown. Gravity is less forgiving when you're an adult.
But yeah, I don't even know if you could get a bike this sized with a properly fitted suspension fork. That is a bad-ass bike.

Yeah but it's different people. It's just opinions in the end anyway. Be open minded to them. I'm happy with my FSR suspension from 2005.
I just feel like for this $2599 complete bike price, there's many other bike's I'd go with.
To each his own!

Well the reason there are suspension designs that look like single pivot plus some bearings is to eliminate brake jack, which all single pivots seem to have. It was kind of a breakthrough to enjoy the advantages of single pivot without it, and now I feel like they're taking a step back. If it's to save money and simplify things, I get it. In a way, that's a step forward, but I guess I'm surprised/confused.
Whatever. It's their company. They can experiment all they want. I'm just curious surprised to see this from them.

Honestly I was hoping someone would give me some insight but it seems like all I'm getting is negative props. I enjoy the innovative engineering that goes into modern suspension designs.
All I wanted to know is why the single pivot? Because it's simple? I hardly ever see a bike with it come out nowadays, so I'm surprised to see this one. Especially from Santa Cruz.
Again, not hating, just curious.
