It looks pretty much the same as the old one.

BTW, this was posted on nsmb.com

Been pictures floating around for a few months. Santa Cruz asked the head monkey to remove them from the board, but this looks pretty official now

wheres the applause smiley when you need it?

that bearing idea i think is worthy of a healthy dose of clapping

 

[PoserNewbie]

I do have to admit that the bearing idea is quite genious.

 

[OGRipper]

Yay!

 

[binary visions]

Oh and by the way: sweet. 1.5 head tube, nice touches like an oversized pivot axle, removable pivot bearing cups (using a standard tool, no less), multiple cable routings, different dropouts... Cool.

And ISCG too...

Definitely.

That looks tough.

$1200 with DHX 3.0.......it is not as cheap as I thought.

 

[coma13]

Looks killer. I wonder what the frame weight is gonna be and when it'll be available...

A replaceable hanger, finally...

Somebody throw this beezy in that linkage program and lets see if they've made the leverage ratio any more progressive...

 

[OGRipper]

HAWT!

Ok, I'll stop now.

 

[sanjuro]

Yay!

I thought you were a Gary Fisher rider now...

 

[kidwoo]

Actually that bullit does kind of look like those single pivot fishers........

 

[vitox]

it doesnt look like it

and just since i feel in the mood ill be pointing out that leverage ratios cannot be progressive, as it is a measurement performed at a specific point. its derivate vs travel however....

Allow me to rephrase... I wonder if they have engineered the the suspension in such a way that the leverage on the shock lessens throughout the travel of the rear wheel?

ah much better

well my dear friend it would seem, from briefly glancing at the graphic representation appearing on my computer screen, that no major efforts have been performed in this regard, or, if the contrary were to be true, that said efforts have been utterly well concealed.

 

[coma13]

It's pretty depressing that you obviously have a better grasp of the English language and it's proper usage than I, a native speaker, do.

 

[coma13]

My extremely accurate measurements with a $5 compass off of a computer printout and my retarded engineering knowledge lead me to believe that a DHX Air wouldn't be a good choice for that frame.

Fvck yeah!!

after 02 I think they all had replaceable hangers

Edit, why is it steeper than a nomdad??? I no likey as much

 

[dw]

single pivot= leverage rate is part of a cosine curve. No way it can be progressive in the end of the travel. Not that you need it that way anyways. I think it looks dope.

my bad. i thought even some of the late models had fixed hangers...

 

[Dogboy]

Very nice. Thanks for posting this up!

 

[Dogboy]

my bad. i thought even some of the late models had fixed hangers...

You are correct. The Bullit never had a replaceable hanger until now.

 

[Total Heckler]

I loved this

"...and the stout 1.5" headtube and gusseted top and down tubes allow you to put whatever the hell kind of fork you want up front. "

 

[JRogers]

my bad. i thought even some of the late models had fixed hangers...

No, you're correct. They changed the hangers for the Heckler and others, but never the Bullitt- those always had solid hangers.

 

[bagtagley]

Definitely.

That looks tough.

the bullit is truely a timeless design. Way back in 2000 when i was first gettin in the scene with the likes of superheros and kranked 2 and 3 movies, the bullit was the first frame that i really feel in love with. Though ive never had one, i must say that new design is rekindling my love for the frame.

Hi bags!

kidwoocomplimentssantacruzpostpreservationservice?

Come on. I almost bought one at one point. Until I realized....um.....you know

 

[bagtagley]

Hi bags!

kidwoocomplimentssantacruzpostpreservationservice?

Damn you're good.

I figured I'd just stalk you on here until that other place becomes available.

Edit: To avoid complete thruntage...I'm diggin' the new Bullit, though I still think a swing link would do some good. I'll be interested to hear preliminary reviews. I still miss my 02.5 from time to time.

Negatory. My desire to keep the bases intact combined with my complete lack of common sense has kept me from mounting them until our base fills in a bit.

 

[offtheedge]

have to say it looks sweet, angles are good, the pivot idea is genius and your choice of drop out spacing.....fine work SC.

Even though theMontashu steered me wrong as usually, I did wonder why it only has a 67.5 ht angle....

67.5 seems like a pretty middle of the road/do anything angle to me, and anyways everyone knows that using shorter shocks and red are what 2007 is about.

I've been sliding over 15 inches of ice packed goodness the last few weeks. I'm suprised we haven't seen crevasses forming up yet.
