I ride an F4 and have been told by others that it rides very similar to a Turner DHR. I don't think a DHR is known to be a great pedaling bike and I have not ridden one so I can't confirm.
F5 looking great. New linky-link attachment looking strong too.
That small peice was the only improvement that frame really needed.
Chumba best cornering bike on the market today. Thing just flys.
Barely touches the ground really.
Has you hopping in-an-out of corners and launching everything in sight. Unreal..

If you're looking for a single pivot with progressive linkage and want better pedaling check out the Ventana El Cuervo. It has a similar progression rate to the Chumba and the DHR but the pivot is a little bit higher so it has a bit less mush when you get on the pedals.
The pivot is in line with a 40t ring instead of below like the chumba. The lower pivot of the Chumba may help it corner better in tight turns but the new 2007 Cuervo has a lower BB so it may be a draw.

BTW- what is that bike??? it is way cool!
Word. Looks like a boxy RMX. Cool headtube gusset
People said that, but i gotta say i couldn't feel it. I got a couple runs in at fontana last year on the demo day turner did last year. I gotta say the DHR felt completely different in pretty much every way to me to the f4 i races on last year.
I liked the turner better over all. The f4 does pedal better though.
I have no XP on a F4.... but Pro Pedal on the FOX DHX negates any minor pedaling differences between the 2. At least for me (a lighter rider A 165#) The DHR pedals great.
38t up front 12-26 in the back, 5 clicks propedal, 100 psi in the chamber.
Pedaling is like # 4 or 5 characteristic you should be worried about.

I have a fox propedal rear shock on my f4, it pedals pretty well. but is not the best characteristic of the bike(that would be cornering and the ability to blast through rock gardens. the geometry is similar between the turner and the f4, I have spent time on both and they ride completely different though.
