With the success of the Supercross Shine and Propel 4x frames, we decided to jump in with both feet and go Downhill racing. We have been getting feedback on the Design from Jerry Vanderpool of Hippie Tech Fame, Courtney Tomei our Pro BMX and MTB rider and Chris Sasso of No Hype Bikes. The basic design concepts have come from a combination of World Class Dowwnhill rigs, the Canfield Bros., The Transition, The Yeti and the Banshee have all been looked at due tho thier great charachteristics and ride handling.
Our final production unit may not look exactly like the Cad Rendering here, but the basics will remain the same. A lightweight Easton Tubed, Downhill Chassis with an ultra low center of gravity, 8.25" of rear wheel travel, and a custom Geometry that mixes the best of the BMX and Downhill Worlds. No final word on the final pricing or the exact date of availability, we are going to spend some time testing and building and making sure that when it is time for this thing to be underneath you as you charge down the hill that you have the best that anyone int he world can offer between your legs. Keep checking back for updates.
