Mountain cycles shockwave, 9.5" of rear wheel travel.

it was a classic bike, "back in the day"

but its been superceded by better frames with superior geometry, strength to weight ratio and suspension performance

I can appreciate them, but can't say I like them to much, frame looks to chunky and 'apolloish'/cheap for my taste Blank Stare

Shockwave with the matching upside down fork and mechanical disc brakes was a cutting edge product...in the early 1990s

times have moved on since then Wink

They ride well, but look pretty ugly IMO. They arent outdated in any way though.
