What's with the yellow shock. They look like the ohlins prototype shocks pictures posted 8 months ago. Perhaps that's the reason for the Swedish colors?
last time I looked the swedish flag was blue and yellow not blue anf fluro greenterrible colors of that Sweden inspired frame, lol!
I stand corrected. Didn't see the shock. Weird that there isn't any info on it but if it's the final form it won't fit on all frames so it's kinda proprietary.oh another demo... nothing to see here
As the WC Team does not run anything new as of now, it was clear that the demo plattform will not change for 2014.The only thing new is the Ohlins proprietary shock?
Will it still bend and break due to the frames yoke?
Well, not really impressed. Someone wrote about a change coming. Thought it would be bigger.
who cares? Inspiration doesnt mean exact copyinglast time I looked the swedish flag was blue and yellow not blue anf fluro green
i wouldn't hold my breath on thatShock could be awesome. Let's hope it isn't a Specialized exclusive that doesn't fit many frames (or any frame except the Demo).
Am I the only one who gets a kick out of a bunch of responses to a picture, stating:Am I the only one who thinks the colorways look great? Tough crowd.
Still an awesome bike, even if it's a complete rubbish supercycle according to the internet these days.
probably S telling RM to pull it - premature anticipation.what lead to yesterdays thread about spec '14 being deleted?
the butthurt is strong with the red Sprobaly S telling RM to pull it - premature anticipation.
wasn't me...my guess is that Specialawyers had a say with the powers that be.what lead to yesterdays thread about spec '14 being deleted?
The PINKBIKE hot links.......probaly S telling RM to pull it - premature anticipation.
They're not even selling them individually yet. You can only get them in the tea set with the enhanced pinky finger white gloves.anyone know delivery dates for the 2014 monacle?
Take my money.You can only get them in the tea set with the enhanced pinky finger white gloves.
haha, word!Swedes don't win anything.
Quality of life is so high, they're just not hungry for it.
Unless you're talking motorsports, then that comment is completely invalid.Swedes don't win anything.

Yep. How dare they spend the money/take the time to make springs in smaller increments that customers have been asking to purchase for years, that no shock or spring company has bothered to put forth. It literally blows my mind that somebody would be upset that they would try and come up with a shock they thought could improve their bike, and also come out with a product that people have been asking for to accompany it. What is there to get upset about - that they listened to you, and cane creek didn't? fox didn't? RS didn't? I don't get what there is to be mad about...lol, 26lb spring increments? and the shock is of course only for Spesh bikes

the fact that the majority of the springs arent anywhere near what they have printed is what makes it funny. and 26lb increments? why not 25? and other companies have tried to do small rate increments but no one is offering them anymore (K9 for one.)Yep.

Sadly this has not been relevant since Sebastien Loeb started driving WRC. And the invasion of the French Sebastiens continue even when Loeb is semi-retired, now Ogier wins the races where Loeb is absent.if you want to win, hire a finn.
