Looks like an absolute monster, especially with those huge tyres and rims combined with the big rotors

Draggon (Jun 15, 2015 at 11:41)

The carbon on carbon look of the rims with the frame looks so funken good.

My heartrate increased when I looked at this pic. I'm not kidding. Such an awesome build, man! Very clean

Thanks

I've been known to do just that with beer in hand

I see you went to the stealth in the front...I like your style!

fantaman (Jun 15, 2015 at 7:33)

Is that a 230mm Hope front rotor

Shiny-side-up (Jun 15, 2015 at 7:34)

Yes, i think the 40 is the only fork warrantied for running it

AlexRR (Jun 15, 2015 at 7:44)

Now you're ready for the Redbull Sky Gate

Shiny-side-up (Jun 15, 2015 at 7:48)

F**k dat i saw what happened to McGazza

AlexRR (Jun 15, 2015 at 10:52)

Ain't that too much anyway? i mean, 2-pot 9" rotor, where do you ride?

Shiny-side-up (Jun 15, 2015 at 11:50)

I weigh 100kg ish

AlexRR (Jun 15, 2015 at 12:42)

i mean too much power without modulation, with such a big rotor i really don't have any idea of his performance

Shiny-side-up (Jun 15, 2015 at 13:44)

Was able to do 20ft rolling endos first ride out on it so it's really not grabby at all

AlexRR (Jun 15, 2015 at 14:14)

Good to know then!

What weight you at with this? I'm at38lbs with mine

OoB4K3RoO (Jun 30, 2015 at 7:31)

Ah yeah so not much lighter I think for a carbon frame its still quite heavy, mind you I'm running rc2 40 and no carbon cranks etc might look in to it now thou

Shiny-side-up (Jun 30, 2015 at 12:11)

Yeah with mine being a large i'm pretty much at the limits, i've even replaced 99% of all the bolts/fasteners with titanium etc.. If i was serious about losing more weight i would air shock it and run smaller discs/lighter brakes but it feels ace like this so i couldn't care less.

OoB4K3RoO (Jul 1, 2015 at 1:13)

Yeah I'm riding the Xl but I'm happy with the weight, the bike rides so nice as it is with the set up, but yours looks super stealth with the Matt 40 vinyl where you get them from?

Shiny-side-up (Jul 1, 2015 at 2:07)

They were a limited edition called 2015 heritage stealth float. Slik graphics or Mojo UK will have the decals in stock
