Thanks for postingDid someone say video of the jump? As and you shall have...
Ya, the one that they say just ain't as good as the old monoYou mean the Mono that is no longer in production?? The 2:1 Mono is the only DH bike Brent is producing for 2007.
People know that because ellsworths have been exploding and backing it up with crappy customer service for years.
Regardless, they don't make the traight mono any more so a 2007 pro team couldn't rebadge them with the "Ellsworth" name now could they?Ya, the one that they say just ain't as good as the old mono
regardless, the old one is still better than the new oneRegardless, they don't make the traight mono any more so a 2007 pro team couldn't rebadge them with the "Ellsworth" name now could they?
can still be built to order you will just have to wait a bit. and yea, old mono, far better than 2:1Regardless, they don't make the traight mono any more so a 2007 pro team couldn't rebadge them with the "Ellsworth" name now could they?
After wading thru all the crap some pertinate info.The "old" Ellsworth did suffer from the issues mentioned earlier in this thread. But, it is a new executive staff (with a customer service focus), new/additonal engineers, in-house fab and manufacturing, and all newly redesign frames, I think that Ellsworth has made some huge strides in trying to change it's image.
As a dealer, I can honestly say that it is working.
The Maxxis DH Team is probably going to ride new frames that have yet to be released; perhaps modified Rogues with more DH race specific geometry...a benefit of in-house R+D.
Give them a chance -
BTW, Bender hasn't broken his Rogue..

What's so bad about the Haro? It does have stripes...........my only prediction is that the team bike can't possibley be worse than the Haro . . . or can it
how come i remeber that line being used before?my only prediction is that the team bike can't possibley be worse than the Haro . . . or can it
And that is relevant to this thread how? If that's your educated opinion based on riding both bikes that's fine, I'm just curious how it relates to Ellsworth sponsoring Maxxis?regardless, the old one is still better than the new one
those stripes were on the previous version frames which were made for haro by Intense... the new ones...... no commentWhat's so bad about the Haro? It does have stripes...........

My favorite was definately the Shaums march seven springs hijack. So old school!funny... i created this thread & i almost forgot that it was about the Maxxis / Ellsworth deal.... it's been hijacked so many times! lol
Wait, we're supposed to stay on topic????And that is relevant to this thread how? If that's your educated opinion based on riding both bikes that's fine, I'm just curious how it relates to Ellsworth sponsoring Maxxis?
Although at least there is plenty of clear toptube space on a Lahar for a FAT Ellsworth sticker.
That is actually really funny! Your wit gets a !if you can't follow the jack, stay off the whiskey
Rennie won the world cup overall in 03 on a production SGS.......Only they ran a team for years on the spectacular failure lovingly known as the sam greenman special.
Their team riders rode on foes, intenses, chumbas, profiles etc before they got their rig right. Whn they got it right, it turned out to be by licensing a design fantastic 3rd party designer. Best decision they ever made, and it is now paying off for them in a big way.
I don't see elsworth 1) having a great bike their first few years and 2) hiring a great 3rd party engineer if they stick with it. My assumption is that it's probably a 1 or 2 year deal to remind us they still exist.
You haven't been around the bike scene very long, have you?Rennie won the world cup overall in 03 on a production SGS.......
Mr. Hill won the jr. downhill world championships in 03 on a production SGS......
scary
Holy gaudy bike batman! The excessive patriotism is hurting me eyes!
settle down i was just throwing it out there. but i don't believe there was anything bolted on in scotland 03.And those SGS's weren't exactly production either. Anytime a drill and some extra aluminum is bolted on something stops being "production".
i was purely speaking of the Hill era and in 03 they were not riding anything special. oh and by the way . . . waaaaaaaaaaYou haven't been around the bike scene very long, have you?
This is not the SGS I speak of.
This is (2000).
Or even better yet...the 1999 that came stock with a risse trixxxy. Seriously, try and do some research before you attempt to be a smart ass.
it was not '03 stock. What DW did to the stock '03 bikes to make them world cup level over the course of that season was made available to the public in 2004; the first year they released a "real" dh bike by modern standards.i was purely speaking of the Hill era and in 03 they were not riding anything special. oh and by the way . . . waaaaaaaaaa
Why is everyone so hard on the Haro? As far as I can tell, there is little difference between the magnum and a Morewood or an Orange, besides the street cred. and about $2000.
that is supposed to be funny right
if you are serious please go back and finish your homework before making foolish comments
anyone who was around the race circuit when mick hanna rode that bike (or saw anyone else who had one) would understand what a pile of crap that bike was... so much so that when mic went to WC's in europe he told haro the airlines "lost" his bike and borrowed kovarik backup M3... and on two other occasions raced national rounds on something else because the haro had blown up again (raced a cove at idaho NCS).
but it look like brand X so they must be the same oster_oops:
Mick specifically would break approx. 1 swing arm per 3 runs on a given course and if the course was rough (idaho 05) he would easily run through 2 in practice.So explain to me, what specifically Mic Had problems with. And explain to me the difference between the Haro and the other bikes I mentioned. And do your research. I wouldn't want you to post something foolish.
