Figured plenty of folks on this site would get a kick out of this machine. I'm pushing it hard cause if it ever goes into production I'm buying one.

yeh deffinatly awsome but your a little to late.

 

[Kevin G]

F-in' beautiful! Wish it looked more like the prototype design though.

 

[bullcrew]

its a motorized rn01

 

[WBC]

skyscraper BB!! Being that there's no cranks to smash, you could conceivably have an 11" BB height. A little low, but a good 13-14 would terrorize!

Same with slacker head angle, so that it's dynamic angle would around 62

Rn01?

just don't let Bender get his hands on one


I'd love to try one... looks like fun

 

[PatBranch]

That does look fun.

LOL that was the first thing I thought too. Along with a few other changes I'd say it needs bigger brakes front and rear. They look smaller than 8" and it's a heavier bike than a DH or FR rig. But still a great place to start I hope they're able to make something happen with it.

Reminds me of MX trials bikes, but with a super high bb...

 

[Trekrules]

That's one sick machine,they look much better than those FX bikes.

...but still, he has built a really cool bike...

That said, my question would be: Why? Where could a bike like this being ridden where a normal trail-moto or moto-trials bike wouldn't work just as well, if not better?

 

[thom9719]

I like the idea, but would change the geommetry, and I don't like the bar running to the back of the seat. I think it needs to look more like a fender.

You wouldn't ride it on a moto track and you couldn't ride it on a mtb track....

Where would you take it?

 

[Basher]

The way I see it is you can ride it at any ORV park or anywhere else you can ride a motorized bike. But you can pick some very sweet line and go over and off of stuff you would usually go around. If yu had your own land it would be perfect.

 

[gackrider24]

it would be sick for tight woods riding and harescramble style racing

 

[ÆX]

i want to build a sub 100lbs MX bike.
that was a great thread stick posted, .................ON LITTER!

 

[altix]

id like to see some of these made...maybe for super tight trials/creek bed riding...id like mine a bit lower tho, 8inx8in would have been fine if it would make it 3-4in lower...
