Hopefully it is cheaper than the DHR!
What's the HA??? (sorry, had to do it)
Looks real nice. Chris' stuff is amazing.
What DHR??

By the angle of the bike stand and the (nonexistant) sunlight and the noth north west wind at 7 knots i would have to EXACTLY e-speculate at 64.37485673 degrees.......aka way too steeeeeeeep
Yeah, not for me, prefer less than 64.278654, it is way off!By the angle of the bike stand and the (nonexistant) sunlight and the noth north west wind at 7 knots i would have to EXACTLY e-speculate at 64.37485673 degrees.......aka way too steeeeeeeep
Looks real nice and from my point of view a much better application of the DW link than the up and coming DHR.
I know DT wanted the new DHR to look like a DHR (and fair enough) but the loads must be much higher in the DHR guise than the Sunday guise. Of course Im not an engineer and this is pure e-spec but hey - wtf - its Friday 4.18 at work and I've just popped my first Peroni.
The links look a little to 'organic' for my tastes. Less curves, more straight.

Not by much if anything I'm guessing.
Psht! It's not carbon. Epic fail.
I want one......
Full build here;

it would be funny if that came out before the DHR does. 
i kid, i kid
i kid, i kid
Mitch's bike look killer. Sunday version 2 - I like it a lot.
sticky please
Love it...low standover, straight full length seat tube, tight shock packaging for a low COG....and I agree that the longer links should make up for linkage/leverage issues seen in the prototype DWaDTDHR.
Would love to see the axle path on this one....diggin it...

I liked it after a while. A couple of things make sense... others not so much. On the other side, the back looks slack... 63º anyone?
Not full length.
Say what u want but that bike looks leaps and bounds better than what Strait was on at Sea Otter.
If the price is reasonable and it ships better than the standard "2 more weeks" i see them selling quite a few

Full Build looks sick.
Judging by how stiff the rear end on Pivot's Firebird is, the overall chassis stiffness on this bike should be pretty wild! Looks super responsive and snappy.

terrible name...
I see that now...it looks pretty long unless the pivot goes through the seattube, which would be kind of a downer, but not a big deal on a DH ride. At least the tube is nearly vertical, not kicked back like so many others.
the more and more I look at it, the more I like it. It should be cheaper than (frame value) than the competition right? 2000 usd? Looks to be a lot lighter than the sunday. I wonder if it is more progressive and more active than the sunday was.
At least this Pivot doesn't have carbon links.
Yeah, I don't like it either, but it's somewhat fitting..
The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from the ashes of the ironhorse sunday and rise.
DT wanted the new DHR to have good DH bike characteristics. including low COG. it's not about 'looking' like the previous DHR. it's about having a compact / low rear triangle, and a low-slung shock.
Seems to be a theme with Chris' bikes. Both the Titus' I owned years ago had super stiff rear ends.Full Build looks sick.

Nice looking bike.
Pet peeve of DH bikes. Why is it still up to us to buy something to protect the swingarm and not the manufacturers duty to?
Trek was nice enough to include a heavy duty chainstay protector
Is the bottom of the downtube open? can you reach the compression adjusters?? Either way it's less than ideal eh?
