I just wonder why ChainReaction Cycles is always running out of stuff. Not that I wouldn't advise other people to shop around first and compare prices, but they offer good value for money (I mean, when it is the case you can get the hold on what you are after).

i cant work out wich one i like the most, ah stuff it i'll have em both gimme

scrider89 (Mar 31, 2009 at 14:38)

the drop outs and rear triangle set up does look alot like the v10. monoque too... butched the spelling im sure

smeckma (Mar 31, 2009 at 15:18)

I quite agree with you. As I was watching the picture I thought, "well, this looks pretty much like the V10 rear piece does it not?" But don't worry, some smart ass will surely prop us down because of what we are saying: I can see it coming.

cjayfreerider17 (Mar 31, 2009 at 18:30)

StUrGeOn (Mar 31, 2009 at 12:04)

Mmmm...i think the upside down forks look sweet! sweet bikes..I want one sooo bad!

TLuck77 (Mar 31, 2009 at 13:35)

the dh frame looks like a santa cruz v 10 kinda

Mack-the-Beast (Mar 31, 2009 at 12:01)

i like the frame of the dh bike..but i really dnt like the upside down forks..id go for boxxers or 40s

nwthumbs (Mar 31, 2009 at 16:28)

why not all race MX/SX bikes run them??? if i could get a single crown 100 mm revers fork i would, because they are a tone lighter than reg forks...

sashamtbrider (Mar 31, 2009 at 12:40)

damn!!! look at all this brakes, wheels, fork.....XTR parts!!!!... probably cost really a lot! i wish to have one....

CuscoRiders (Mar 31, 2009 at 21:57)

nice bike intense m6 , but the fork its a shed , I dont like manitou dorado , it probably looks and feel beter with a fox dh 40 or 888

Whoinventeduphill (Mar 31, 2009 at 22:31)

its the m3 evo. M6 looks different

seraph (Apr 1, 2009 at 9:19)

Actually it's the M6 EVO.

special-boy (Mar 31, 2009 at 11:38)

that's awesome that they're with hope and mavic now. hope they have a good year, and the new dorados look amazing

DRPEPPERDILL (Mar 31, 2009 at 13:27)

beautiful.. i think i'm in love. and the inverted shocks totally add to it.... i think

stealheader (Mar 31, 2009 at 15:28)

man thats the first chainreaction bike ive seen but its tight

skatejunkie (Mar 31, 2009 at 21:00)

The frame and fork alone cost 7 grand at retail price, that's got to be a five figure bike, good thing the team riders don't have to buy there own bikes...

DoCenT-Zmc (Mar 31, 2009 at 14:38)

Sick Ride! I like the chainreaction PaintJob

slabHB (Mar 31, 2009 at 10:39)

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, davehayz93.

davehayz93 (Apr 2, 2009 at 2:20)

Waaaaaaaay more than 7 grand, dude.

ali-chapple (Mar 31, 2009 at 11:38)

he means £7k GBP. not $US

seraph (Mar 31, 2009 at 12:01)

No I'm pretty sure he means $7000 USD, seeing as how he lives in the 'States.

moleman (Mar 31, 2009 at 12:31)

Superfly, who has written the article and posted the pictures, lives in the United Kingdom.

seraph (Mar 31, 2009 at 14:54)

That's great, I'm commenting on "trailblazer200's" statement, not "Superfly's."

trailblazer200 (Apr 1, 2009 at 7:43)

yeah sorry im actually not sure what the price would be, it was a just a quick guess, does anyone know what they cost?

intense-identity (Mar 31, 2009 at 12:53)

That is soooo Mint, lovin all the blue and gold

raimundo (Mar 31, 2009 at 13:01)

Don't like the manitou DOurado. May be a Boxxer 2010

raimundo (Mar 31, 2009 at 13:01)

Don't u think?

nunomelo77 (Mar 31, 2009 at 15:02)

NÃÃÃÃÃ!!!!!

stealheader (Mar 31, 2009 at 15:33)

the dorado is sick man

drevisuals (Mar 31, 2009 at 15:30)

remind me of the sanat cruz blur and the v10

joshinthebox (Mar 31, 2009 at 15:46)

is that a v10? or does it just look like one?

eder (Mar 31, 2009 at 16:15)

Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is copied...

eder (Mar 31, 2009 at 16:16)

Sorry, it is Intense.

corey-bentley (Mar 31, 2009 at 21:26)

looks like the intense m6

fluffles (Mar 31, 2009 at 11:08)

at least 7, prolly like almost that much for the frame, fork, and shock! lol

serbian (Mar 31, 2009 at 18:44)

The first thought I had was "I bet that Intense is expensive." Ron Paul

marzzochiboy08 (Mar 31, 2009 at 10:23)

The M6 looks mint

kev-jones (Mar 31, 2009 at 10:41)

is that the 2010 frame ? or evo ?

bunkey (Mar 31, 2009 at 10:47)

evo

nouser (Mar 31, 2009 at 15:47)

Yup with the adjusted seat-tube and swingarm so the wheel doesn't grind on the frame and seat.

djbruno (Mar 31, 2009 at 18:09)

just AWESOME!

mumbuff FL (Mar 31, 2009 at 23:02)

It's a wannabe V10

seraph (Apr 1, 2009 at 9:19)

Why would it want to be the V10 when the M6 has always been better?

PIND-IT (Apr 1, 2009 at 7:39)

Sweet looking ride.

DirtbagMatt (Mar 31, 2009 at 11:12)

Yeah, good luck with the Mani-Poo suspension.

BumpRider (Mar 31, 2009 at 11:41)

You ever Ride with this Fork??? Seriusly not, because the new Dorade is awesome to ride stable and light... You can not compare forks like Black,Minute and other of the cheap Series with Dorado, Travis or R7...
Think before write!!!!

DirtbagMatt (Mar 31, 2009 at 13:27)

I wasn't referring to the Dorado actually, talking about the Minute so neg on me there fine. However, don't you find it a bit disconcerting that a company's $2700 flagship fork is the only one in their lineup that you'd want to ride? It's ridiculous that they can't make a $900 fork that you'd want on your rig.

martins (Mar 31, 2009 at 18:17)

I've been running a Minute Elite 140 TA for over a year and it has no issues, way smoother and stiffer than a Float 32. The new forks are killer. The old ones did suck though...
