Does anyone have any information on this bike. How does it ride? geometry?Cost? Is it available in the United States? It looks really nice and I have heard some good things about it and want some more input.
Thanks, Ryan

Sunn Radical
- Thread starter IVCrider
- Start date
there's a couple threads about it already do a search. Suppost to be an awesome frame
I did a seardh already but couldn't really find any info on the geometry, pricing, availablility etc. I really would like to talk to someone who has ridden one to see how it rides.
^ agreed, nowhere near production from what i've heard.
You'll see old ones kicking about now n then, but they really are old now (although i still lust after them a little)

The Radical is still being tested...
There not being released untill March, so dont expect to see anything on them untill much closer to the date because Sunn isnt releasing any info on them at all. Dirt Magazine will be doing a review on the Radical soon, which will have ALOT of info on the frame. So look out for that, but apart from that i cant really tell you anything.
The only info i was given on the Radical and Kerns was the weights and prices. The only confirmed thing i know about the frames other than that is the name.
The pictures look promising though...

Not really, if you go to pink bike - look at the other side view, its pivot is just slightly rearward and at the same level as the top of the chainring, nothing groundbreaking. That frame is prolly the sweetest thing I've seen in the last few years, theres just something to be said for how simple they make it look, and hella light haha.
so how much i want one bad...?
Im lucky enough to know the UK importer so I have 5 of the new Sunn range sitting in my house.
They are all really nice, including the road bike ( dont burn me for it, i never thought id ever say it either)
The forest jump HT is a lovely allday bike.

dan at project leeds is the importer... www.projectleeds.com
I think I'm in love, well atleast in lust. I can't wait to hear how she rides. If its anything close to how it looks then I found my knew race bike.
Im sure He would love to service the needs of Sunn worshippers over the water but im sure there is legalities to doing that.
But im sure it wouldnt hurt to ask him if you do really want one.
cant wait for mine
Dex, you're getting a Radical?!
What about your current DH rig?
Gah... you filthy bike whore, I envy you... :biggrin: 36.5 lbs. out of the box, and the geo looks pretty decent too. Wonder how she'll hold up to abuse? The design seems simple, yet effective.
Let us know how the assembly and ride time goes if you can.

Just get a new one, she's not worth it.
Sorry dude but you won't be able to race that frame. Just read at http://www.uci.ch/Templates/UCI/UCI5/layout.asp?MenuID=MTYxNw that they won't allow that frame to compete due to too low weight. Hope you're not into racing...Ordered mine today!!

You certainly are Mr Gullible today....
yep, what we had in the works for this season still needs some more tweeking and refinement so Brad and i decided to rip the radicals and test them out. i will do a full report on it as soon as i get it.build will be super light but still burly (888sl ata, roco wc ti, 823 industry nines, juicy ultimate/code, xo, eatern ti cranks, slr seat etc etc)
i thought eastern wasn't making those cranks anymore?...
After the 20 point malarky I would not put anything past the UCI!!!! LOL
phew....its just coz the uci are just the type of ppl who are capeble of stuff like that...
oster_oops: 
b/t short and long only 1'' huh.
so that would be around a 13.5bb?
well someone might have a set in his posession
it seems like the seat tube has to be that long so that there isn't too much tire buzz when the seat is slammed.
thats true, it works the way it is, but there still is a lot of space the top tube could drop down into somehow
That is probably the large frame on that picture and 430mm is 16,9" and not 19" (if i've calculated correctly). The smaller frame is 14,9". That is not a high seat tube at all! Sadly the TT will probably be too long for me anyways.
And about ~13,5" BB, looking at the picture it looks like a pretty high BB, don't you think?

The bb would be around 14.5 by my figuring. 26" wheels with 2.5's is around 27". BB drop is 25mm = 1". So 1" higher than 13.5".
Looks fantastic. Made in France, right?
