I have been on a bottle rocket for 3 years and at first glance it look pretty darn close. but the detail on this bike is very different. The geo should speek for its self, just like any other bike in this new style of bikes.somthing like a DJ hardtail to get the job done right there needs to be some simple standards in the bike to perform correctly.

SICK.

reillykintzele (Sep 22, 2009 at 17:46)

domino0 (Sep 23, 2009 at 2:39)

This build is sooo much nicer than the one they are offering

Scott7089 (Sep 23, 2009 at 18:57)

Rideslots (Sep 25, 2009 at 17:40)

Awsome...

sayntmatt107 (Sep 22, 2009 at 4:28)

Seriously tempted by one of these!!

iloveair (Sep 22, 2009 at 16:42)

It is nothing like a Bottlerocket---end of disscusion

clarksonridesMTB4ever (Sep 22, 2009 at 3:35)

amazing i want 1

aeyjay (Sep 22, 2009 at 16:56)

I liked it better as a single speed....

KonaBass911 (Sep 23, 2009 at 16:16)

It kind of looks like a Double.

JustRideaBMX (Sep 24, 2009 at 0:20)

its the exact same thing as a transition

doconnor (Sep 24, 2009 at 3:28)

besides other geo and tubing/metal quality/weight differences etc, seat tube is curved, making this a little less AM capable than the BR

chudders22 (Sep 22, 2009 at 3:30)

Yes please....just yes please.....

bronowskistills (Sep 22, 2009 at 6:50)

thats nothing like a transition bottle rocket at all...

6 10

cgroves (Sep 22, 2009 at 11:59) (Below Threshold)

Are you kidding me? The geo may be a bit different but they look the same man.

windowlicker (Sep 22, 2009 at 12:23)

This design is so played. There have always been single pivot frames with the shock mounted near the ST on the TT. At least Commencal slapped the pivot around the BB.

Ocasidae (Sep 22, 2009 at 17:36)

I agree. Looks very similar to the Transition Bottlerocket.

reecewallace (Sep 24, 2009 at 19:09)

Looks similar to a bottlerocket/double but real nice still!

kevinsaylor (Oct 9, 2009 at 19:41)

whats the retail on the frame?

gabe925 (Sep 22, 2009 at 16:04)

looks like it has santa cruzs' vpp suspension

doconnor (Sep 24, 2009 at 3:15)

did you not read above? similar yes, exact nope.

gtollette (Nov 27, 2009 at 14:13)

i want it

stevy (Sep 22, 2009 at 12:47)

just looks like a ugly orange blood

Below threshold threads are hidden

TheLongMan (Sep 22, 2009 at 2:44)

it's copyed from the transition bottlerocket.....it's exactely the same thing, but costs more....

Larkey1 (Sep 22, 2009 at 2:51)

Actually i was going to say it looks like a Banshee Rampant. But i guess this is just the way that slope style is going...

Looks sick tho:P

rigodon777 (Sep 22, 2009 at 3:39)

BUT check where the pivot are.. It's not the same thing really!

feck (Sep 22, 2009 at 3:40)

Id say it looks more like a jamis parker

Larkey1 (Sep 22, 2009 at 3:59)

good point.

tibittytom (Sep 22, 2009 at 5:56)

they did not copy the bottle rocket as this has no cain growth if you are single speed

rigodon777 (Sep 22, 2009 at 8:05)

They achieve this by having the pivot around the bb...

10 0

transam711 (Sep 22, 2009 at 11:28)

Woah! It looks like every single pivot with a shock link mounted on the top tube! Neat! Let's all keep naming more bikes it looks like!

dirtbagluvin (Sep 22, 2009 at 18:56)

They're all just faux-bar.....but they did make it look nearly identical to the BR!! Which BTW you can SS.

transam711 (Sep 22, 2009 at 19:19)

...with a tensioner. You can't run a Bottle Rocket without a chain tensioner of any kind. But, with a tensioner, you can single speed absolutely every bike ever made ever. So that's nothing to brag about.

dirtbagluvin (Sep 23, 2009 at 8:04)

You're right....WITH a tensioner, and I'm not bragging. I rode a dirtbag for a couple years (single speed a few times times on accident....which you CAN do w/o tensioner) and realized how much smack everyone talked about THAT bike. Well, I'll tell you what......I did a lot of moves that other people on super bling bikes wouldn't and never complained about NOT being able to do a move b/c of the BIKE I was riding. Grab a bike and go send it. With or without your preference of tensioners......

dirtbagluvin (Sep 23, 2009 at 8:08)

In the same vain.....most bike designs have been mimiced a number of times by various bike companies. New designs are a rarity, but cool smaller companies like Evil are still doing it......

Rideslots (Sep 23, 2009 at 17:46)

Hey, TheLongMan. Ya... NO!
