nice ironhorse sunday copy

ansel-schimpff (Apr 13, 2010 at 14:09)

I hope this has more then the 6.5 inches of travel the production firebird has. anyone whos seen kyle ride knows that an all mountain bike with a dh fork wont last long under that kid.

vics26 (Apr 13, 2010 at 10:14)

So I assume Kyle is off Specialized?? Is he still going to be racing some World Cup DH races?

nightsy (Apr 13, 2010 at 10:15)

yup

naturalhigh (Apr 13, 2010 at 10:16)

He's been off the Specialized factory team for a couple years now.

i know your address keep your garage locked

kidding aha.....
but sick bike man!

jordanb890 (Apr 13, 2010 at 16:54)

anyone else think it looks really steep for some reason?

travis-barr (Apr 13, 2010 at 17:04)

it looks steep because its not a dh bike the firebird is designed to be a bike in the same catergory as anomad or enduro, not a v10 or demo

brule (Apr 13, 2010 at 17:10)

It is to race Sea Otter - don't fully need a full blown rig on this course.

M-a-R-c-I (Apr 13, 2010 at 22:26)

I just wanted to say the same...it's for the SeaOtter not for the Whole season I guess. Just remember that Hill and Brendog rode their SxTrail last year...

travis-barr (Apr 14, 2010 at 14:58)

You definetly dont need a full dh bike for sea otter a longer travel bike might be nice at mont saint anne or schmalding tough

ncrider5 (Apr 14, 2010 at 16:13)

the back rest of that green chair threw me off for a second, i thought the frame's bottom tube was HUGE lol

Seth-Gehman (Apr 13, 2010 at 14:43)

thats what i was thinking- whats up with a 160mm rear on a dh bike- i checked pivots website and saw nothing- could be a prototype-

spag (Apr 13, 2010 at 13:10)

Thats a 135 rear end, interesting choice for a dh bike, unless he is running a 150mm mavic hub with crossmaxx sx rims, hmmmm

McDonnell (Apr 13, 2010 at 15:30)

my demo 8 runs a 135mm rear end.......

mooseduck13 (Nov 9, 2010 at 17:09)

its not a DH bike. Its a trail bike. Pivots DH bike is the phoenix

love2freeride (Apr 13, 2010 at 13:50)

He's gonna race world cup on that??

Does anyone else think that rear triangle looks... weak?

brule (Apr 13, 2010 at 17:11)

He is racing Sea Otter on this and will be on Prototype DH bikes soon.

polidh (Apr 13, 2010 at 15:13)

if hes running mavic crossmax wheelset for downhill,he could be easely running Truvativ Stylo cranks,to save the weight....

norcofreerider8 (Apr 13, 2010 at 20:16)

Im kinda liking that. Theres a huge Pivot Bikes trailer parked down the street from my house for Otter right now.

downhilldro (Apr 13, 2010 at 20:34)

that is a sick build, should be perfect for sea otter. tiny cassette he has on there though

johnyredbull (Apr 13, 2010 at 10:24)

Pivot cycles? never seen one those looks good tho, n dw link quality

MaxK (Apr 13, 2010 at 11:35)

Nice.
DW patented rear end ==> the (2nd) new Sunday (don't forget the Turner DHR)

marshallmullen (Apr 13, 2010 at 12:36)

is he the first guy to leave specialized?

Kstrait (Apr 21, 2010 at 11:05)

Sweeeet team, they are all super stoked

rydindirty (Apr 13, 2010 at 10:18)

eddie1170 (Apr 13, 2010 at 13:57)

kinkmister (Apr 13, 2010 at 20:42)

reecewallace (Apr 13, 2010 at 21:28)

TomAyres (Apr 13, 2010 at 11:17)
