Are any of these out in the public yet? I was pretty much set on getting a Cove STD but after getting the price, I think I'll go with something else, their just more money then I can justify spending on a frame.

The Corsair maelstrom is looking pretty damn good to me and the price is inline with what I'm prepared to spend.

so when can I get one?

Thanx :) and yes i think the Maelstrom is one illllll Bike. That bottom bracket / pivot point all as one peice is so great. I would imagine it makes for one heck of a stiff rear end and very strong too. I also really really like their dirt jumper bike i think its a good design too.

When i spoke to the rep he said they were offering the Maelstrom frame and the rear shock, and the rear thru axle but not the front fork as whats included in the price. the only reason i include this info is because all their bikes are pictured with a front fork. If anyone wants a price on any bikes he will be happy to tell you. i dont know how public they are so i dont want to speak out of turn.

I would be interested in buying the frame without the shock, my next bike will have an Avy shock with remote resivor and high lo compression adjustment. but thats another thread :)

As for the comment about the Fly ... no idea what your talking about. But i am also interested in any info someone has on the new Foes Fly, PM me though dont thread jack :poster_oops:

For the sake of clarity, I believe DirtyMike was referring to a company completely different from Corsair (possibly Bionicon?), and the ability to adjust geo/travel on the fly. Not the Foes Fly.

I'm not going to even spew on about my love for mine, and what TRUE pedaling efficency is...Phenomenal bike for very little cash

And that was NOT to deter away from Corsair. I was soooo hard for a Maelstrom, just couldn't wait for the release date. Turned out OK for me. I'm stoked.
But I spoke with them a few times and hung up very satisfied each time. It doesn't sound like anyone riding a Corsair will have any CS issues to deal with!

Photos of the Corsair prototypes and components are posted to this public Flickr acct:

The Maelstrom is still in prototyping. It's going well, but production can take as long as three months after the design is finalized... bottom line, It might be a while before these are in stores.

Königs and Ducats are built and painted, hopefully available in 4-5 weeks?... I am REALLY hoping to be rocking my new König in Virgin in February...:clapping:
