Y'all forgot to mention the integrated hydraulic gyro. I would think that would be a pretty important feature to touch upon.

Clearly he didn't have to...

seraph (May 17, 2012 at 13:20)

Well I would have liked a little bit more information about it, so he should have talked about it.

What is there to talk about other than that it's there?

"Pinkbike will have already signed up super smooth trail guru Tom Skelding for a full test, photo and video shoot once the finished model lands in our secret underground Pinkbike UK bunker."

I bet the cat will be out of the bag in the next few months.

seraph (May 17, 2012 at 14:44)

I would like them to talk about the technical side of it. Like what brake systems it is compatible with, etc.

which will probably be answered in a review... like they said they will do... Pinkbike does an amazing job at bringing up to date content to its viewers on a regular basis. And yet people always find reasons to criticize.

seraph (May 17, 2012 at 15:40)

That's all well and good, but they didn't even mention the gyro, which is kinda the only special thing about this bike.

The-Banders (May 17, 2012 at 17:27)

I don't think the gyro comes with the bike.

pierszdan (May 17, 2012 at 17:41)

It's a Straitline gyro. Definitely not stock.

this article is about the new frame, not about the rest of the build pictured...

10

seraph (May 18, 2012 at 8:54)

Pretty sure the gyro is specific to the Nukeproof frames...

nfa2005 (May 18, 2012 at 8:55)

I'm like the seatpost clamp, very tidy won't rip shorts no more. I wish they talk more detail about the spokes.

jmsxtreem (May 19, 2012 at 17:12)

no sure if the gyro is integrated, looks like the frame might just contour to it a bit. if it is integrated though thatd be pretty sick. rest looks really good!

If you look at the pinkbike article on their new slopestyle bike they talk about the gyro. It comes stock on both the slopestyle bike and their new dirt jump bike. It's an integrated trickstuff trixer.

santacruz-syndicate (May 17, 2012 at 11:30)

i already have a nukeproof snap and its simply amazing! If this comes out to the public, I can see adding this frame to my collection in the near future...

assuming i can come up with the money...

naptime (May 17, 2012 at 12:38)

reminds me of the Last frames... hope it doesnt have the same problem with the down tube not having enough clearence for forks with chunkier crowns or tall adjuster knobs....?

21

The-Banders (May 17, 2012 at 17:28)

At 458.50 its on the cheap side of the dj frames.

Wow nice!! those guys are really rocking!

sandysemple (May 17, 2012 at 12:04)

got excited when i saw it was around the 350 mark...then realised that was for the frame only haha

20

finnrambo (May 21, 2012 at 0:00)

yet another reason I like mtb better than road, 4000 is not justifiable for frame only or for wheels

21

ScottB-408 (May 17, 2012 at 20:53)

Seen the bike in person, its pretty damn sweet. The Chain tensioner system is one of a kind. Rad lookin dj steel frame for sure.

20

The-Banders (May 18, 2012 at 11:32)

Dude your not supposed to tell people that you/we already seen it. And who negative proped you for that? I was so good about not letting the cat out of the bag about seeing it. But yes it does look pretty bitchin.

10

webbe (May 19, 2012 at 11:26)

ScottB, that chain tensioner system looks exactly the same as what I have on my Last Rufus. The frame does looks sweet though, good work Nukeproof.

AcidSuk3r (Jun 15, 2012 at 10:33)

He must have got the price wrong (I own those forks and the RRP is £350), if not that's a grate deal as you get most of the bike FREE!

10

AcidSuk3r (Jul 2, 2012 at 13:07)

O he's only talking about the frame still amazing though!

20

davehayz93 (May 17, 2012 at 5:46)

smithysuperstar (May 17, 2012 at 11:31)

I'm so glad the shops dont stock these. I cant afford many more accidental bike purchases!

DA-ODD (May 17, 2012 at 14:07)

I dont get you guys, why is this so awesome? Seriously? Just because everything is black and it is shinny but you can open up any magazine and see hundreds of bikes that look like this. I guess the headset is cool but, am I missing something?

10

willj959 (May 17, 2012 at 11:56)

please release this is looks so sick

TYNT (May 17, 2012 at 22:59)

Nice and cheap, perfection!

raymond-george (May 19, 2012 at 20:24)

It's called the Nukeproof Fogel

I'd still rather have a cryptkeeper

simoon23 (Jun 7, 2012 at 15:00)

well it should be put into production pronto, it's fucking beautiful

nailen (May 17, 2012 at 14:06)

This is so awesome!

kurt-heering (May 17, 2012 at 23:01)

sooo nice

Pkennedy (May 18, 2012 at 9:12)

it just looks like so many other 'DJ' bikes.

ianb (May 17, 2012 at 11:27)

when and where can we buy this frame?
