can you throw a pic up on here. my server wont allow me to look at the pictures on mtbr

 

[IH8Rice]

nm...someone on hcor posted them to see.....man its totally different than my current Uzzi. it looks like a Tracer w/ less travel than the "current" Uzzi

 

[boogenman]

go to hcor to look at pics peoples

 

[Zark]

Wow, that thing is clean looking.
The works red is.....Woah!

 

[Transcend]

Or you know, just post them here instead of sending people to every other forum on the internet.

 

[dropmachine]

I gotcha.

 

[Transcend]

Thanks, very nomadesque.

 

[IH8Rice]

interesting that the Works finish model has a different shock mount location and different swing arm

 

[Transcend]

My guess is various levels of prototype.

Cool, maybe I can pick up the older style cheap in '09 :biggrin:

thats what im thinking. the Works bike has the old swingarm on it.
and depending on if they were taken at the same angle, the leverage ratio on the red one appears to be higher for the top link

i got a large black Uzzi w/ a Swinger 6way....cheap

Can you put metric to that?

Can you put metric to that?

if i know what that means...maybe

he wants you to quantify your qualitative term "cheap"

 

[kOlsen]

Nice for sure. How much travel does it have?

Found some more info on www.littermag.com

 

[CBJ]

Intense needs a better background for all these cool and beautiful proto pictures. The Uzzi was once my dream bike.

 

[jonKranked]

seems like kind of a tight fit for the shock resi... does it have clearance issues with other shocks?

this was covered already son. please keep up spicoli

$900ish

They have a huge amount of model overlap for such a small company, no? Seems like it would be tough to perfect 5+ full suspension bikes at once (M6, Socom, Uzzi, 6.6, SS, etc.)

 

[Sandwich]

i don't get the socom vs. m6....

Nor the uzzi vs. SS...

6.6 and 5.5 i'm guessing are just variations in travel.

6.6 and 5.5 i'm guessing are just variations in travel.

8" vs 10" w/ different geometry

7.75" vs 6.5" w/ different geometry

6.7" vs 5.5" w/ different geometry

 

[Trekrules]

the new uzzi looks sick

 

[RMboy]

Lol i like the way the shock piggyback (lol love that word) runs close to the top tube.. Looks really nice and neat and compact.. Or shall i say tidy!.. I think it looks pimp!

 

[DiRt DeViL]

The bikes look sick, prolly the shock mount difference could be the size of the frame.

 

[OGRipper]

Agreed it looks sick, and I could be wrong, but those different mount locations will result in different shock rates so I am guessing they are different prototypes and that all sizes of the production bike will be one way or the other.

 

[pdawg]

Not necessarily so. IMHO, this Uzzi could fill the gap between the Socom and M6 quite nicely. I hope they don't go too light on the tubing, i.e. FRO version.

Yep, I voiced that when the "new" (?) light duty M6 was posted here. I mean, 3 DH race bikes? I know there are fanboys, but damn, enough to sustain that kind of overlap?

Wouldn't it fill the gap between the Socom and the 6.6 sort of? Anyways, just seems like a lot of bikes for a small company.

they all have different amounts of travel and different geometry. the Uzzi was never meant to be a race bike, nor does it look like one now. the Socom and the M6 are their "race" bikes.

I'm talking about this:

This is a 8.2" travel prototype I have been working on with Matti. the Idea was to make a lighter, less is more race rig. There are two of these with different geometries & they were fabricated out of various exsisting parts.
Once we get things worked out the packaging will be cleaned up.
The one in the pic weights in @ 37#, It will not replace the Socom .

product overlap ahoy!

sven sent a photo of this and no information. i know nothing about it, but it looks pretty rad.

info? speculation? this is different than matti's other m6 with the "curved" downtube, right?

I was thinking in terms of freeride bikes which seem to be lacking from their product lineup this year.
