@Corkster9: Kinda hard to tell on pinkbike since you get some serious winner comments, but it was the perfect opportunity to let people know there will be more links so we figured why not!

At least with us you'll get options! And not just get stuck with one stock link. So yes, we will release our own variations as we test more links and travel settings and options for different riding styles in the future. And if some other 3rd party makes a link that works well for certain people, good on them. We want everyone riding our bikes to be happy and if a link does that for someone, that's sick in our books cause ultimately that just means they'll be out riding our bikes more and having more fun!

If the bike becomes popular enough to justify the expense of long term molds, we'd love to find ourselves in a position to do this in the future!

We tried to link these pinkbike articles in the post but the links were removed. For info on the DH bike, Matt Beer did a first ride review you can find by clicking here - [L=https://www.pinkbike.com/news/first-ride-crestline-and-cascade-components-team-up-to-create-a-virtual-high-pivot-downhill-bike.html]RS 205 VHP[/L] For info on the recently announced ebikes check here - [L=https://www.pinkbike.com/u/crestline/blog/first-look-crestline-bike-co-the-eebs.html]RS 7550 and RS 5075[/L]

With how refined mountain bikes have become, at this point they really do all often look similar, but the suspension platform on the RS 205 is vastly different to his previous bike!

@SCCC120: You're welcome!

@macaroni69: Sorry, we did not have a break there in our submission but seems like it was edited by the prior to the post. Glad you figured it out though!

There are already a few in NZ! Hit us up. We will ship to you guys

@SCCC120: We designed the bike so that you can move the idler pulley placement down to improve pedaling. There is enough clearance to run a 12spd setup. Cascade has some links in the works that we've been testing that reduce the rear travel to 180mm. We have been testing and riding one with a 180mm fork while using a 5mm reach adjust headset that has an external 10mm lower cup. The external lower cup ads stack and this means you A/C measurement is then the same as a 190mm single crown fork which is actually pretty much the same as a dual crown 200. This is how you preserve the geo and just like that you have a burly enduro setup! *It should be noted that you have to run a wireless dropper post!

Same price as a Santa Cruz V10 and you get 1 of only 50 examples ever released, all individually numbered. We're actually pretty proud of the price point we were are able to offer on such an exclusive bike frame but we understand that everyone has there own perspective on things i just wish you knew what it actually takes to make one and maybe you'd be more understanding of the price.
