Video: Dialling in the We Are One Prototype DH Bike with Mark Wallace & Jon Mozell on Mount Prevost
Looks like the lovechild of a stealth fighter and a Demo 8. Love it

Hunt Announces 1254g XC Wheelset with Carbon Spokes
I've been riding their in-house design Aerodynamacist roadie wheels. They're light, inexpensive, look cool, get scrateched really easily and then look less cool. I've beat on these for about a year a lot harder than Hunt probably intends and they've been great. Freehub is next level loud and annoying.

Spotted: Pivot's Lugged Carbon DH Bike Prototype
@millsr4: Possibly, but like all things it comes with a series of tradeoffs. Lugged composite frames preceded monocoque construction in cycling, you still can find tons of 80's and 90's examples on eBay. I'm no materials scientist or composites engineer but my understanding is that mass production moved to monocoque because of cost savings (labor+time+overhead) above even chassis considerations, which are there in aerodynamics, weight, stiffness, etc. The expensive part of monocoque construction is developing molds, hence why virtually every modern carbon MTB begins with aluminum or lugged mules.
In my limited view the real modern benefit of returning to lugged construction is where additive comes into play, allowing mfgs to build strong, light, custom geo frames. Additive is also incredibly time consuming and currently niche vs monocoque scalability overseas (read expensive), and the price reflects, re: Atherton.
