It's just you. That frame is georgeous!I'm afraid it's just me, but the frame looks hideous. Even the norcos do look better without those skinny steel tubes. What is the purpose of the red 'linkage'?
That and the loads of mud the shock will eat during every muddy ride.Seems like it would be wiser to keep extra bolts off that area and make it one piece. Seems like it would be one more section to bend, damage, rattle, and maintain.
Hmmm, I think I'm with the "looks ugly" crew. Bolt on seat cluster? Does-nothing linkage? I don't get it. Kind of a dumb company name too.
But, whatever, I'm sure it rides nice and that's what counts.
All of Xprezo's full suspension bikes have the aluminum section between the steel swingarm and the main frame. It saves weight and space over steel. It goes straight back to Balfa, just look at a BB7, it has the same arrangement.The bike looks nice and clean, but I too question the logic behind the aluminum section. Seems like it would be wiser to keep extra bolts off that area and make it one piece. Seems like it would be one more section to bend, damage, rattle, and maintain.
I might go try my Session at Bromont this sunday too. Any idea if we finally can get our season pass?Just tried mine in my street and the first feeling is awesome. The rearward axle path wants to eat everything.
And yes, it has a little bit of flex. But which bike doesn't have some?
I'm gonna ride it sunday at Bromont. Can't wait to my first ride of the year.
Look forward to a report, they sure look fast.Just tried mine in my street and the first feeling is awesome. The rearward axle path wants to eat everything.It's hardly rearward mate, maybe for the first inch or two of travel(sag).
And yes, it has a little bit of flex. But which bike doesn't have some?In theory, anything with a high and low mounting point for the swing-arm, be it Horst link, Faux bar, VPP, or even single pivots like the Lahar, anything that doesn't just rely on one pivot for the rear to swing off. Obviously pivot size can help over come this to a degree.

Buzzzz, wrong.In theory, anything with a high and low mounting point for the swing-arm, be it Horst link, Faux bar, VPP, or even single pivots like the Lahar, anything that doesn't just rely on one pivot for the rear to swing off.
