You wouldn't even try it? That's dumb.
I would like to hear some hard numbers on it, but I think it looks pretty cool. Well minus the paint.

i like it but it remindes me of the orange patriot ! which isn't a bad thing but its hardly inivative (might be spelt wrong)and the head tube is at to steap.

the back tire is about 2 inches off of the ground which would make a 1 or 2 degree difference in the headtube angle

Looks like an orange? Yeah except the suspension is way more complex and innovative than the orange.

Looks nice, but BB looks really high and the forks look to steep, looks just like a bigger version travel of the quake, which isnt really a dh bike

Are we looking at the same bike? Looks hideous, what looks awesome is all the bits its draped in!

Looks like you'de have a nice bit of flex in the rear end, and a high center of gravity as well.

love all the bike experts who have already judged the bike just by seeing it, it's amazing! "high bb, way too steep of a head tube angle, and definately a terrible rear end, so flexy", I wish I was as wise as you guys!

Yes looks are everything. The stand it is in is not helping any, it raised the BB, steepens the head angle and increasing the stand over APPEARANCE

It's possible that the sus is set up for a 40% or so sag, resulting in a proper head angle.
In the picture the HT angle is aroung 67 or 66, I'm guessing it will drop to 65 or so if the BOXXER isn't run too soft.

The fact that the rear wheel is propped up and the front isn't doesn't help the look of the head angle either. I bet it works just fine, looks really top heavy. For the record, Shaums would slay it no matter what bike he was on.

honestly just wait till u guys try riding it...so much fun...and the head angle will slacken up a bit when the sag comes into play...remember just like a v-10 this thing has 10 inches of travel...meaning the first 2-3 are usually sag

Yep. The V-10 head angle is like 65 or 66, but when it sags it slackens out a bunch. I want to ride one of these really bad.

and also the v-10's BB height is over 14 inches....by looking at where the bottom bracket is on this bike in comparison to the rear wheel... it looks to be right below the middle...which would make it just under 13 inches...and then add about an inch to compensate for the tire...so this thing has a lower BB and similar head angle to the best DH bike in the world right now...maybe everyone should stop criticizing it for two bloody seconds and just give it a chance...im willing to guess its a lot nicer than whatever DH bike most of the people who are calling it down are riding

Agreed. Without the stand I'd put it at about 14. Not that I should be saying that though. We don't even have the geo yet so why are we all bashing it?

idk. It one of those things where the initial appearance of the bike is so strange we couldn't help but to be surprised.

your a fanny norcodazz, there is absolutely no problem with carbon bikes, Mick hannah rides a carbon frame for dh and has been V. fast. Also carbon fibre is one of the strongest materials known to man, research it first before you make stupid comments
That is a 10" frame, under sag the bb will drop and the HT angle will slacken out. Not to mention its on a f*cking stand there is at least an inch lowering of the BB right there. Go watch the video, you can see that it is way slacked out when its actually on the ground.
