Kyle one of the owners of Transition Bikes just finished building up a singlespeed Bottlerocket and wanted to test it out. Mike Metzger filmed the trip out to a local jump trail. Just goes to show you don't need gears to have fun. We are trying to lead the way for more singlespeed full suspension freeride bikes.

Looks like a double. I never knew a Fox rp23 can fit on a bottlerocket

When was that filmed? Its crazy cold (18 degrees), snowing and windy here. I want to ride but I am afraid the jewels would freeze!

they should have had Mike Metzger ride lol =). but that is a really cool way to show off this style of riding. i think it will become popular sooner or later.

it's about all you can manage on that trail, it's really tight and fast

Derailleurs can be such a pain!! Especially in the winter. Single speed freeride bikes do sound very enticing.

Definitely, but down here in California, we don't have cold! My vote for VOD!

gotta love the snake! that creek gap is really sketchy. you didn't do the road gap or the stump hip!

I always thought it might be a good idea to turn a Bottlerocket into a singlespeed, I might try it out on mine, now that I saw how good it is............. what chain tensioner did you guys use??
