Some people in the comments never watched Minnaar, Brendog, or Matti ripping the Honda G-Cross bike on the world cup circuit and it shows. That rear swingarm and pivot location looks very familiar.

@lepigpen: I've got the gambit and so does my son. It's still a bit warmer than a half shell to climb in, but it's not terrible and offers a lot more coverage. We also race DH and ride moto, and for those we both use DOT/Snell rated helmets. You can really tell the difference between the two, and like bikes, I think it's different horses for different courses. Anyway, love my gambit, but I've also noticed it's a bit uh, squeaky through the rough. Not sure how else to describe it.

@snomaster: Homeboy is in it for the love of the game. I bet he does it for as long as they'll let him.

@mikekazimer: That sounds exactly like something an XC content sympathizer would say. What's next? Will we have some editors riding around on Chisels with Rekons front and rear?!? Are you wearing a chamois at your desk right now?!

Needs some raw ti crank arms and chain ring to really bling it out.

@rickybobby19: It was then, between violent sobs and gritty tears that a bright light flashed out and the spirit of Steve Peat appeared before me. "Rickybobby19! Giddup ya silly cunt en start actin like ah man!" "Steve Peat?!? You're... you're.. dead?!?" I stood there starstruck and a little freaked out. "O'course naught ya daft bastard! Ah learned how ta teleport while racin' Les Gets in '99. How do ya think ah beat Cedric so bad?? I just popped in from me home in Sheffield to give ya some proper advice" "You're going to tell me what size bars I need." Finally. The time had come. "No ya sackless nesh! Ah came to tell ya ta git up ahn stop yer sobbin ya sorry sod." He turned and over his shoulder said to someone on the other side of the bright light "Daft as a brush, this one." and then with a great schralping noise, a flash of light, and what sounded like Loosedog laughing somewhere on the other side of the light, he disappeared. I was again alone with the sounds of the forest and more unanswered questions than I had started with.

I think the AON guys are a little fashion conscious. They're covering everything up with a fairing and side panels

I'm one of those parents. If the geo is right and the suspension works well, I'd consider it over worrying about a new bike every two years for the next 6 years or so. Depends on the price.

My 9 year old is on his way to bumping up to "adult wheel sizes". This bike has my attention.

Dad with kids on 20" and 24" full suspension bikes- I wish more with bottle mounts exist. Until this article I only knew of Marin and Transition that fit a bottle in their 24" offerings and zero on the 20" side(i get it, the packaging is tough)
