I saw this in USA Today. Kinda interesting. I see at least 3 mtb parts on this thing.

Story from the company is here

A shiver up front and hope brakes. Cool.

 

[Pau11y]

I'm also thinking some Hookworms and Sun Doublewides.

I bet the mountain bike parts are the only working objects on that bike. Looks cool though...

Well, I never!

 

[stosh]

so it's a fuel cell dirt bike..... whoop-de-doo

I would totally make the star wars speeder bike noises riding that thing.

 

[ncrider]

oh damn, I just got some ridiculous urban assault ideas with that thing.

 

[Jayridesacove]

I don't think the company had any "aggressive style core double black diamond jibbing hucking freeriding" involved.

The main application seems to be a quick[enough for city driving], eco-friendly city commuter.

 

[arboc!]

but you could still use it for that right?

 

[HRDTLBRO]

They might need to re-consider "silent" with those Hopes installed... It's actually pretty interesting.

 

[zahgurim]

I like it, and want one!
Production models will go up to 100mph, maybe more.

It's half mountain bike, think of the customizing you could do! Mine would definately get knobbies and see off-road usage...

 

[MMike]

No-one has said that it looks flexy or asked if it comes in rootbeer??? What's wrong here?

 

[MikeD]

As a result the existing brakes could do with being stronger. The rear is adequate but the front brake is spongy and you really need to grab a fistful of both to stop quickly.

He's a motorcyle guy,and probably used to the Brembo's on his Duke,so any MTB brakes gonna feel weak!

Cool machine anyway,I wonder what its off-road performance is like?

 

[PatBranch]

How much travel does it have? Does it come in orange (the new rootbeer)?

 

[arboc!]

i hear it will come in burnt orange, but not gloss orange.

 

[MtnbikeMike]

Can it be hucked to flat? Can a put a supermonster on it?

 

[arboc!]

you can huck to flat if you have the super monster, and you can run a super monster, but only if you have some dual 24"s to run on it.
