PRESS RELEASE: RAAW Mountain Bikes

Getting your priorities right in life isn’t always easy and can sometimes require donning your arm bands, climbing up to the highest diving board and diving headfirst, deep into the unknown.

10 years ago, that’s exactly what the founders of OneUp Components did. The dream of living, working and riding in Squamish BC, Canada was turned into a reality and we’ve been big fans of what they’ve done ever since.

From their first products, like their drivetrain conversion kits, to their current lineup of well thought out tools, bars, drivetrains and droppers, we’ve enjoyed each one of their offerings. ‘Work Less, Ride More’ is what they live by and seems to be helping in developing rad products!

When the day came for OneUp to present us with their new 7075 aluminium bars, together with a very neat looking DH direct mount stem, we were all ears. We love the OneUp carbon bars and think they look sick on our Jibb and Madonna rolling chassis’. But the aluminium bars and direct mount stem were a match made in heaven with our very own Yalla!.

To celebrate OneUp’s launch of these high-end DH components, we’re offering a limited run of Yalla! frame kits featuring the bar and stem from OneUp, with squish at both ends taken care of by an Öhlins’ TTX22m.2 shock and DH38m.1 fork.

 “Just buy it! You don’t have to rationalize everything.”

“Hmmm… alright, I will buy it! It’ll be good for the economy.”

 This is a thing.

I had a roomate in college (econ major), who legit sometimes justified purchases by saying "well, I'm stimulating the economy" at like the campus vending machines.

Or maybe its just that people who want to buy stuff don't need "all that great" of excuses to actually make the purchase Razz .

 Exceeeeept. Just buy it in a year to let the economy cool off so the Gov't doesn't have to keep raising the interest rates to slow down this economy!!!!
We can all be "poor" together and then in a year we can support all the little guys again.

 Bike is sick, but that price tag seems crazy for a partial build. If this was one of the bigger brands everybody would be complaining about it. For 5K you can get a complete DH bike from a lot of other brands. The new GT Fury Pro build is 6,000 complete and that’s a carbon frame

 Ohlins fork is the reason they are nearly £2k, on their own, not many bikes come spec’d with them, grab a frame and some boxxers
  • 3 2
 @jimmythehat: Agree with your statement. My Privateer Ohlins Edition 141 had a high price, due to the suspension spec.
  • 2 1
 Got a full Demo but those Boxxer forks are joke. In just a few rides mine develop crazy noises,serviced 2 times in 2 month just to get some time to replace it.
  • 3 1
 Yeah, I agree. Bike is rad, but aluminum at carbon-like prices.

 @AppleJack76: looks like a big travel Privateer 141 Ohlins edition.

 You don't need much more when you buy this, do you? Most likely, this won't be your first bike so either you already have some gearing and brakes handy, or you choose what you really want. The brakes some people love are the ones others hate. Some people like fancy gearing on their DH bikes, others don't see the point. Some like to invest in carbon rims (or buy complete wheels prebuilt), others get nice hubs but consider rims disposable parts and go cheap. By this reasoning they could have foregone the handlebar but other than that offering a frame kit like this makes a lot of sense to me. I'm not in the market for a DH bike but I can get onboard with the idea of getting a frame along with the suspension considered a good fit by the designer. I'd use some brakes I have already, go cheap on the gearing (or even singlespeed) and cranks, built my own wheels and I'm almost there.

 i mean commencal's supreme v5 is 8900 CAD with Ohlin's suspension, and that's just for an alum bike
  • 2 0
 @vinay: The idea behind frame-with-suspension-only offerings is solid. The pricing, however, is not.
I understand that full builds will be cheaper than the sum of their parts (because bike builders get OEM discounts based on volume purchased), but the margins seem to be even more over the top than with complete builds here.
  • 1 0
 @vinay: Ok, I've somewhat changed my opinion. While €5,600 for a frame with suspension and bars is still ridiculous, the components (fork, shock, bar and stem) total around €3,200, making the cost of the frame €2,400. That's still a lot of money for an aluminium frame, but it's a high-end DH frame, so not as outrageous as I initially thought. The crazy price is apparently a sum of overpriced components and a relatively expensive frame.
  • 2 1
 @Mac1987: Yeah, I think this (with these components) is how the designer intended the bike to be so that's why the package is like it is. Going full Suntour on it will drop the price considerably and will still get you a really good bike (considering those who actually ride high end Suntour stuff seem happy and people win WC and Rampage competitions with them). I've long gone past the stage where I could be bothered just because an expensive product is being sold.

 YOLO!!! Having owned a Raaw Madonna V2 I don’t need this bike but want this bike badly.

 Also in that boat. I think they are doing it on purpose

 Seems weird to sell a bar and stem with a frame set. Those are fit items, I'd think most people buying just a frame already have the bars and stem they know they're going to use
  • 14 5
 So expensive for an alloy frame.
  • 8 3
 With high end suspension, bar and stem it's still not cheap but it's not too bad either
  • 1 0
 @ybsurf: article says rolling chassis, so it’s basically a full build but without drivetrain, brakes, grips, and pedals
  • 6 1
 I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of this frame... But the 2 year warranty is a deal breaker for me. With all the manufacturers providing lifetime warranties, the fact that this frame ONLY has a 2 year warranty is a bit ridiculous. Santa Cruz now offers lifetime warranty on Alloy rims now....

 Love it. Very clean styling from a great brand.

 I've been looking for another short travel 29, but with a little more weight to it. This seems to fit the bill nicely. The fact that its drop dead gorgeous too doesn't hurt either.

 198 is now considered short travel?
