My bike: Shova LT

Red Bull's New bike

Thanks to Morewood, Neil, Richard, Brennen, Justin, and John for helping us get our bikes built.

nice, both bikes are sick... but i dunno if the double barrel was a good choice...

its going to make you want one!
they both look real good, when do you get to ride them

 

[matt12]

[Kntr]

I love the cable routing on that bike; so clean and out of the way.

 

[FCLinder]

Those look sick...... What weight did they come in at? 37lbs?

 

[MorewoodKid]

Sick bikes william and robert

 

[Dogboy]

Nice bikes!

Quick question trumbullrider: how tall are you? I'm thinking about getting a Shova LT. I'm 5'9" and leaning towards the small. Thanks.

i'll awnser for him since he's getting his prom on.

i think he's like 5'10. rode a small izimu last year and was pretty happy. However he says he feels alot more comfortable on the large shova. according to him its somewhere inbetween his small izimu last year and normal large izimu's this year. I'll let him explain in more detail but thats about it.

 

[dklopp]

that is an awesome ride!

 

[mattmatt86]

So someone that is 6'1" should ride a large shova lt?

i blew up my front wheel on my izimu at a little team "race." rob was kind enough to let me take my run on his bike and while it was fun, it's definitely a different feeling bike. With pretty much the same cock pit setups, my bike felt a bit bigger up front, as well as more stable at speed. it could have been since i run my izimu in the slack position, or it could be because i'm 6'2.

if you like a really tight, nimble as all hell bike, the shova is youre ticket. if you want a bit more room and a bike thats a bit more stable at speed. then i'd suggest the izimu.

*both bikes ride really similarly travel-wise so i wouldn't be too concerned with that aspect of it

i think the new paint jobs arent very good looking.

Thanks for the reply. I'd like to hear a little more about the fit. I have fairly short arms so I don't want to be too stretched, but I don't want to feel like I'm riding a tiny bike either. I have a dh bike (17" Sunday), so I'm not looking for a super-stable at speed bike as much as a flickable fr bike. Thanks again.

 

[tbird0216]

I finally got around to getting some pictures of my izimu...

Thanks to richard, neil, and garritt for all their help, this bike is a blast!

I don't think your avatar is very good looking either.

BTW, the red is special color for the NES guys. The standard colors are blue and white.

[mfzbike]

thanks again to everyone from morewood...

 

[Red Bull]

i've already got a win under my belt on the morewood.

i am happier than ever with that bike.

 

[mattmatt86]

Anyone here built up a Shova LT with a single crown? Im thinking about doing a 1.5 Totem two step on mine. Any thoughts?

you know me all to well willy

 

[IronhorseCT]

Andre from Morewood had a Shova LT with a single crown Travis on it last year. It was wicked light with pretty flickable angles....The height of the travis made it very DH able, maybe not MT Snow DH, but most races....

Rob and Will are a cute couple....Rob, can will slow dance or what?

[esr]

This is her

 

[downhillracer]

[Dogboy]

Got my Shova LT together. Here are a couple of pics.

 

[jvnixon]

Dogboy, that bike looks awesome

I see you're in the first picture as well.

 

[Squasher]

Totally redesigned front and back end. Went to a 3" stroke shock. 1 1/2" lower pivot. But other than that, nothing major

Thanks man!! Going to break it in after work today.

 

[Rabie]

What kind of dog is that? Seriously.

 

[Pegboy]

You post..what about once a month, and when you do it is to clarify a dog breed?! Looks to me like a Lab or maybe a ridgeback. Hard to tell with the lighting and lack of head shot..and no, you can't get ridgbacks in black and they can't be used for freeride.

 

[Dogboy]

Haha. He's a hound mix. Likely Red Bone Coonhound mixed with ??. He's a great dog - very good disposition and dog/people friendly.
