hey monkeys, I just watched Roam the other day and fell in love with this bike, my friend kept on saying it would bottom out harshly but that has more to do with the suspension set up right? o well, what is your opinion? also does any body now the wheelbase for an M size? weight on a factory build? thanks!


ohh, one comment, it has an air to the new lucky Canfield frame, don't you agree?

Towing the party line.
The guys i have been travelling with all ride Coves..they seem to ride really nicely. My experience tends to be just pedaling it around the lot though. I will be riding one while in whistler for a test hopefully.

i've ridden with tyler morland and he kills on it... but then again, he would kill it on anything. i think the frame looks unfinished. it does smack of the lucky, but that seattube looks odd to me. i don't like the open ended tube joined to the curved section coming up from the BB. i am sure the bike rips, i just don't like the way it looks.

It don't like that seat tube either, but I'm guessing the bike works flawlessly well, the suspension system really reminds me of my DV, and it looks, can't say it is, real rigid in the back... any more opinions?

It was super quiet at st anne this past weekend. I love a good quiet bike. The new gt dhi is also nice and quiet.

two in the pink, two in the stink!

I rode one in Lisbon and they ride really well.It had Airs on it and a dhx rear shox.
Pedalled really well and took square edge hits pretty good too.

Does cover decide their bike names by junior high student polling or what?

I don't think it looks to bad, it probably rides great



I think it really depends on the color, the orange brown doesn't really do it for me, but his red just stands out and says watch out "Shocker"!
