Interbike 2004
- Thread starter Extrovert
- Start date
Semi Nekked Chicks. 
I want to be there for the unveiling of the Honda civilian DH bike.
I was cool with the fact that I'm taking a year off... but all these threads are starting to make me wish I was going 
TURNER HIGHLINE!
FOX DH fork pricing..... (unless i missed that somewhere else)

I want to see pictures of the magical booth that will transform me from my current species to one that doesn't have to work or pay for parts, and has an endless supply of trails year round.
New Yeti. New Yeti. New Yeti.
I want to see the New Yeti. Supposed to be in the Fox booth.

3.2 interbike bound??
i want to see friends from across the continent, oceans and other side of the globe. i also can't wait to see the flickering valve caps, cutting edge electric commuter scooters and the couple of motocross superstars who will slip in unnoticed.

I'd like to see real test ride comparisons between 6-pack, 7point, SX trail and other long-travel trail/freeride bikes.
Also comparisons between the new long-travel SC forks. Fox 36, Marzocchi 66 and The Manitou Shermans. There are so much speculation going on about them. A shootout at the dirt demo would be great!
I hope Acadian, PinkBike and the Hcor boys are covering the event. They did a great job last year!

CANE CREEK SHOCKS!!!

Joe sent me some photos of the shock and it DOES NOT look hokey at all. Considering Cane Creek is about a 5 minute bike ride from my office...that is interesting.
Does anybody know anything about this company Ohlins?

Ya I'm also interested in seeing what the outcome of this association will be. all I know is that Ohlins makes kick ass Motorcycle suspension
On ahd BTW: dude you're signature is starting to cause me some serious mental pain!!!
To see if there are any new Michie DH tires... new mavic tubeless DH rims... and the Turner Highline. Also to find out how long it really takes to get an small Intense M3 in the blue Dirt mag team color.

Im excited about the show. I'm not a big fan of Vegas though.
I'll be there... what is the 6-pack? I assume that the SX is the Enduro SX...RogerH said:
as far as bikes go ...
The Turner Highline and Knolly V-tach are at the top of my list.
I'd like to see pics of the Turner (if it is even ready to show, doubtful?) and hear test ride feedback on that and the V-tach.
as far as parts go ...
isn't Brembo entering the hydraulic brake market? I'd like to see what they have to offer. On the brake subject, I'd like to hear feedback on the new Hayes elCamino system too. I really like the tool-free reach adjuster idea on the new lever. It makes so much sense I can't believe it took so long for someone to do it.
Ohlins: I know first hand that they make top of the line shocks for motorcycle and snowmobile applications, cars as well. Expensive stuff, but I'd guess that means there is plenty of $$$ in their company to do some serious R&D into a MTB product. Knowing how well their shocks work, I'd think they could be an immediate contender in the high-dollar range of shocks.
Come on ... can't you already see this thing mounted to your rig?
Those are the first things that jump to mind ... other than that I'm not super stoked about anything that I'm not already riding on!
edit: I just re-read about the CC/Ohlins partnership on pinkbike ... add the CC Double Barrel rear shock to my list of things I want to see!

I'm excited to see the new Yeti DH bike. I've got no real expectations of it, but new applications of existing technology always interests me and I'd really like to see what it looks like.
Would like to see the Evil/E.13 stuff as well.
Other than that, there's not much new stuff that I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of, but lots and lots of bike porn is always a good thing...

I can't get there this year - seems I go every other year, which is enough vegas for me, but like echo I'm now wishing I could go, at least to the dirt demo which is what it's about for me...
If I were gonna hit it I'd be in line for the new Yeti DH bike (just because it's so damn groovy and different), new fox forks (dh and 36), other 6" single crowns (probably my next purchase), new Iron Horse rigs; Evil DOC (go DW!), Intense Uzzi/V8, new brakes from Hayes and Brembo...never been a Hayes fan but the El Caminos are looking pretty sweet.
Also wondering if SCB will show anything new, if we'll see something from Honda, and (along those lines) what are the latest drivetrain solutions.
And all the gucci road bikes too.
Dammit, now I really want to go.

Too bad..Acadian said:unfortunately I can't go this year
-BB-:
The Turner "Six-Pack" is a new version of the RFX.
It looks very nice: http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=49582
Sweedish Ohlins have a wery good reputation in making top of the line suspension components.
If they use all their knowlage to make a MTB product, I think we can stay tuned!!

I will also go for that. But then it be would less fun and amusing, when you can buy all the parts you want. It wo'nt be something special anymore.
The photos I've seen don't look like anything hokey by far. There are about 15 up close shots from all sorts of angles and the thing looks SOLID. Only immediate problem I can see is the reservoir is attached to the body, so it won't get to go on my DHR....unless I work something out...Acadian said:Ya I'm also interested in seeing what the outcome of this association will be. all I know is that Ohlins makes kick ass Motorcycle suspension
On and BTW: dude you're signature is starting to cause me some serious mental pain!!!
Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but they actually made some shocks for the Swedish made DH frame, CyclePro Octagon, a long time ago.Espen said:

I hope you go to the RS booth and tell them how you feel about Boxxers?Jm_ said:
In addition you could print all your posts from various boards and hand them your "Boxxer sux for dummies" book
That'll be 350 pages of thoughtful insight on suspension and fluid dynamics...Acadian said:I hope you go to the RS booth and tell them how you feel about Boxxers?
