Yea, I guess it is.
So, where is the Evil Bikes Interbike report?
- Thread starter homepiece
- Start date
It looks to me like Morewood Makulu,, anyone else?
It makes my dangly parts less dangly.
All the smoke and mirrors over an adj geo. SP. F-Me!! HAHAHA...
Is tunability very important?
It's a single pivot with a linkage actuated shock. The link is flipable and adjustable to alter ratios and geometry without affecting suspension action.
Holy S...!

I think it looks cool from what you can see.
From what I am hearing, that is what they plan on calling the frame. Man you're good!!!!Holy S...!
First Frame that has the right to replace my sunday
Did you actually see it and talk to Kevin/Dave or someone else in the Bat cave or are you speculating from the picture too?
Comes in XL, I'm sold!
Hopefully the rear brake won't be PM direct like the rendering shows.
I'm guessing you don't realize who you're asking.
Which leads me to ask did you change your mind and go to the "top secret" location and actually check out the bike or are you checking this thread from your super cool internet capable phone and speculating on the suspension design based on the same picture that the rest of us are looking at.
I realized who Transcend is writing for at least and was hoping that his word was backed up with real knowledge.

At length conversation with his Weagleness.
Wow, I'm a fan of Dave's work as well, but you guys are really smoking his cock.Holy S...!

The Sunday was a dw-link race machine with fixed geometry. This is a single-pivot with adjustable geometry. There is literally nothing similar about these frames other than the fact that Dave designed them. Not to mention all you have is a single angle rendering to go on. How could you possibly think that this is a good replacement for the Sunday?
Just to be clear, Dave did NOT design the bike. He only designed the kinematics of the suspension system. He is completely over designing entire bikes.
Do riders really care that much about adjusting Geo.?? Seems like everyone already knows what HA/BB/CS (geo.) they like anyway. All the WC bikes pretty much have close to the same Geo., low and slack. Seems like a novelty to me.
Do a lot of people really want an adj. geo. SP???

Thank you for the straight answer.
Nope. Same pictures as you. Just some deductive reasoning based on what I know about bikes, physics, and actually reading what's on Evil's site.
Where on Evil's site did you see "single pivot." I read world wide patents pending and I think I saw "mind blowing" between the lines.
Besides, I was asking where Transcend got his info, not who you were or what you thought of the picture on the internet or the Evil site. Transcend answered and now I'm satisfied. I'll go back to happiliy riding my 7point and wait to see one of the new Evil frames soon enough anyway.
Different geometry works better with certain tracks / terrain. Seems like it could be a full on freeride machine with a higher bb and steeper head tube or a balls out low and slack wc race machine , all while not compromising leverage or wheel rates. Makes sense to me anyways.
I don't think the benefit is the ability to constantly change your geo, but rather allow a single bike to be tailored to the needs of a wide variety of riders/terrain.
Rumor has it the original name for the platform was "dessert pants".
Your high school physics book must be pretty worn out, by now.
I don't think people want to keep changing there geo for different tracks. I think its more of a case of the frame will appeal to more people because you can tailor it to exactly how you want. Once its set how you like it your not gonna change it.
OK, keep this thread on topic. If I have to keep deleting posts from the same people, posting privileges may start to disappear.
Yeah don't bother. It didn't get me anything......I can't believe I fell for it again!
He is one smooooth sum'bitch....
Since when is laughing at a fanboy post off topic? Hell, there wouldn't be a soul around here if that were the case.
I guess "smoking his cock" is ok by you though?

This is where deductive reasoning comes in.... from the pic on the website, better seen in this post...

I deduced the following:
Never said it was right. Just that's what it looks like.
/QUOTE]
I don't get it. It looks like the activation linkage would swing the shock up into the seat tube?
Actualy my frame has adjustable geo and it's a great idea. You have to think about the fact that most riders ride a variety of tracks and you need different geo for track like Fort Williams compared to Schladming or Maribor. I change my head angle on different trials for real.
BTW. Any info if the new evil is 09 or 2010 product?
I was wondering about this myself. And same with the clearance between the downtube and what I was referring to as the dogbone link. There's definitely more than meets the eye on this. Granted its only a rendering, and crappy 3/4 side/front view, and there's a lot hidden from view.
The main pivot of the swingarm may very well not be connected to the front triangle, but to another link.
We agree!
That was what my wild speculation was about. You can see something else behind the swingarm, I suspect it is just the lower shock mount but I don't think anybody can tell from the picture. That was why I was asking if Transcend had actually seen the bike or talked to one of the guys behind it. I know Kevin well but I hadn't seen the design until today and was surprised to see what looks like a single pivot.
I can't wait to get a better look at it.
Well, roughly the same for the Sunday, right? He did the kinematics, although I think he stepped in a few times to help them with structure after their initial ****ups.
