$10,324 is ridiculous for a bicycle. I don't care if you're Sam Hill. How are we allowing these companies to get away with this shit? Who's buying these bikes? You can go on about economies of scale of bicycle companies vs. companies like Honda/Yamaha/ Kawasaki all day long, but there's no way I'm believing this is a fair price for a bike when you can get a kick-ass new dirt bike with all those technology and materials that go into one of those for less money. It has an engine, transmission, and a fucking radiator. I love mountain biking, but I wouldn't shell out this kinda dough for a bike no way.

Seriously fellas. You can't underestimate the amount of potential here in Eastern Kentucky in the Daniel Boone National Forest around the Cave Run Lake area.

Just bookmarked this.

It's plenty rooty and rocky here in Southeastern Kentucky. A little more maintenance would actually be nice. Our shit is so grown up it looks like fuckin' Vietnam out there and when you get off the trail you basically look like you got into a fight with a bobcat.

Here are some phrases I really like. ultra-simple single pivot design reliability and extremely low maintenance 12x142 thru axle complete bikes starting at $2599 last for multiple seasons of hard use simple, durable, do-it-all bike that makes it possible to enjoy the geometry of the Bronson in a less pricey package

Looks awesome, but my $1700 2006 Giant Trance 3 rides just fine.
