That new DH bike is sweet, finally something from Cdale I would ride. And a different model for each of the 3 major suspension companys...sweet.
those gracia signiture bikes are hot! so are the new chases
i think its fugly actually, dont get why, but thats how i see it.
what surprises me a bit is that only 2 weeks the word in the pits at cdale was that that bike had gone back to the drawing board for a while, apparently not.

NICE! looks like i'm gettin a SS chase next summer!
...say - what kind of brakes are on the Gracia DH???
Can't quite make em' out...
...and how come the torque arm for the floater is soooo huge and beefy???
It's like they used chainstay tubing for it or something...could save some weight by ditching that for a Therepy Components carbon fiber torque arm...
Are those RISSE' crowns I see on it???
I totally dig it.
What's the rear travel on the production model? - Same as the Proto at Otter???

whats the deal with that?
bike doesnt look too bad
the chases look pretty sweet
The brakes are Magura...not sure why Cedric is not riding the new dh rig. He is using last years model (Gemini)! (as seen in Schladming WC, and on some other photos).
He also had problems with suspension in Vigo at round #1 WC and had a poor run.
The new Rocco shock is a classic suspension system, without "SPV - Propedal stuff" inside (but very plush for sure)...

Because it hangs low. I know a guy who has the current model and that torque arm is all bent from being hit on rocks, not quite strong enough, new one looks stronger.S.K.C. said:...and how come the torque arm for the floater is soooo huge and beefy???

I really like how they are using front and rear shocks from the same manufactures on the bikes. Fox 40/DHX, travis/swinger or 888/roco.
That white chase is hot!, something I never thought Id say ever, I want that cannondale!

i def want the gracia with the 40 
I think this may be a EURO spec though, since it says "juli" at the top which is german for july...Some stuff might be dif in the US if this is the case...

I wonder why the SS Chase comes with a traditional drop-out?
A whole lot of fugliness going on.......and amazingly they are still rolling that Headshock out on a few models...
Nice, those Gracias are tempting...
Just wish they'd put a slimmed down version of that swinglink on the prophets.

I'd be willing to bet that is coming...good point though, i would prob rather have that full fox prophet with the 36 and all along with a swing link than any other bike...peter6061 said:
they look flexy to me...
what fork does that first chase have on it? is that a stance? or one of the travis forks dialed down?
I want to trade in my mocha chase for the white one
I am not sure what it is..could be a Marzocchi air shock possibly?
13 of the same bike seems more then a bit excessive..I'd say obsessive even.

dexterq20 said:Anybody notice this bike? Is that a Rock Shox rear shock?
I also couldn't help but notice that there are 13 different models of the Prophet in that photo gallery. Does that seem excessive to anybody other than me?
i like the look of the new DH bikes. the chases look really nice too... i might even look at getting the SS one... eventually
That shock is a rock shox pearl 3.1.
don't forget that they have different models for europe and the usa, so keep in mind that we could only end up having half of those in the states, that may be why there are so many prophets, also, those could all be european models, because it is a european site.
Excellent point, the huge number of prophet models along with the lack of a 4X replica might mean that these are not finialized or complete models.
uhg I used to ride with a guy that had an old c-dale with a head shock on it didn't liek the feel of that thing one bit. the only thing that exceeded the suckyness of the head shock was his assholeness as a personCant Climb said:

Way it's speced it looking like a longer travel XC racer than a scapel.
I've never been a big Cannondale fan; however, Gracia's pro model is growing on me...
It's probably a Scalpel replacement. The Prophet has now replaced the Jekyll, but it took a year to do so. During 2005, both bikes existed. Cannondale is probably doing the same thing with this bike and the Scalpel. This is likely the last year that the Scalpel will be available.
dexterq20 said:
Don't know...the scalpel has got a pretty big fan base in XC, plus that looks like a longer travel bike. Might be ment to go after people that want more than short travel harsh ride of the scalpel.
I wonder how well the new Gemini linkage will work...
magic, i reckon.:Jeenyus:. said:
I remember seeing a couple of these being used at 24 Hours of Dalton. Heckler clone was the first thing that went through my mind.PooMan said:
