ya its been on the website for awhile now, for an aluminum frame im really liking it, the site says it has 16" stays though..... im thinking that must be in the middle of the adjustments though or atleast i hope it is.
edit:: just found out the cs length is 15.2" slammed... much better

that's a pretty trick tensioner
what giganto flanged hub is that?
chub ?
saw Vories's bike recently its sweet. they look very nice
Described as having "super short chain stays", measuring in at 16". Still looks like heads and shoulders above the old Jackal. Santa cruz can make the **** out of a mountain bike, but they seem to be "run of the mill" with jumpers. Vories and Watts are nuts, so the geo of the bike doesn't exactly matter.
Yay! Another DJ bike that looks almost exactly like every other DJ bike out there!
I just got this in my email.

anybody like the old one better, at least looks wise?
yes, i do. wanna come work on my trails with Joe C his brother, Nart, and zack?????
MSRP $650. You have to be joking. Aren't Tonic's like $700? MTB companies never cease to amaze me with the kind of mark up they push.
Exactly, and shops always mark it up too so add more onto that. There isn't anything on this frame that makes it more special then a lot of other frames for about half the price.
Hey, I wish there was a "huge mark-up" on a Tonic!
If you think producing a frame to this standard, at this volume, at this cost equals an exceptionally lucrative venture, you are very much mistaken.
That said, I'd like to tap your expertise. If you can think of a way to significantly cut our costs while maintaining the quality of the product...I'm certainly open to suggestions. My email is landon@tonicfab.com
That Jackal is pretty neat. Probably the smartest / best looking DO system I've seen.

I absolutely loved my old style jackal. Rode great and looked badass. New one is ho hum. I think a big part of the old one is guys always said they were worried about crushing their gear on the "hump," when in reality it really wasn't much of a hump as it was a super sloping top tube.
i think he meant it as why spend that much on a jackal when tonics are nearly the same price and much better?
I was being sarcastic...
I've always wanted a Jackal, but could never justify the cost of setting one up and now that I've got a stable job and can afford one, I can't find any. Go figure...
You misread what I was saying Landon. This guy got it. No need to be touchy, I fully back what you and Tonic do.
Those dropouts are beautiful. I think they might top Evil DOC's dropout/ tensioner.
Is that a pros bike? Kind of curious given that it's sporting a Chub. Those hubs are light...given the carbon mid-section. Interested to see if it's holding up to park/ trail use.

That 3" of seat tube above the top tube is ridiculous.
yeah.... I guess.
Chubs, huh? Anyone here remember Nuke Proof? I've still got a few sets of those built up... and a few broken too.
Too bad they have a freewheel.
