I just found a pic of one of the "new" Azonic frame, called the Samurai FR

I've been looking around on the internet trying to find some info about this frame, but all found so far is that it will come with a Romic (not the one in the picture) rear shock, have 180mm rear wheel travel and a Horst-Link 4-bar linkage.

Does anybody else seen or heard anything more about this frame? I would really like to know the full geometry for it.

 

[Sir_Crackien]

interesting. i would also like to know

 

[dexter]

looks like the old frame they had just beefed up. it got plenty of good reviews on here and in mags

 

[Zark]

They have a new DH bike too that looks like a refined Recoil, I forget the name.

Looks good, I'd hit it

 

[forcierer]

It has 5.3"-6.3" of travel with the romic.
I just build mine up last week - a great frame.

I think of putting a FOX 36 in.
2 ring chainguard as MRP Lrp or e13 drs.
new wheels - schwalbe big betty tires.
to get it all around 16kg.

 

[vitox]

those dropouts look like they are rear-entry, i had a klein like that and rapid rise or old sram derailleurs made wheel changes a royal PITA

 

[AlmostHeaven]

anyone have more info on the new DH frame(s)?

 

[mack]

Thats not a horst link.

It looks allot like the tranistion bikes and almost mirrors a Kona Dog.

 

[dump]

Thats not a horst link.

ahhahaha

 

[syadasti]

ahhahaha

Can't spell, can't see, what can he do

 

[wood-dog]

Looks like a modern version of their Saber, which leaves me feeling unimpressed. But I would still like to see the new DH bike they are comming out with.

 

[mack]

Eh, my bad. I was thinking FSR 4 bar.


Regardless it looks exactly like a Kona.

Actually no....Konas are not "FSR" pivot bikes.

what does it weigh now? for the conversion impaired, 16 kg is 35.7 lbs...

You need to put down the bong for a while so you can open your eyes wider than just a squint.

And I thougth you had been around here long enough to know the basic difference between a Kona "4 bar", and a "FSR".

Oh, and the new Azonic Dh bike is called the Gravity, and its supposed to have 10" of travel.

 

[mack]

Ooops. Didnt see that last pivot. I feel stupid.

 

[forcierer]

it's a little under 17.5 kg 38,58 lbs now.
with new fork & tires should be easly under 16 kg.

i think the Gravity is out already. it's been on their website for a few months. i've been hearing about a new design or something....guess i'll have to wait and find out!

saw one at whistler this weekend, so they should be out...

 

[holliswood]

The new design is called the "Analog". They are doing the Eliminator2, the Gravity, The Steelhead, the Fiend, and the Analog. They look good, so check em' out at Interbike or when the catalogs come out.
