niner 6.5'' 29er bike

Sick bike but I'd go with a beefier saddle.
Looks like a great SuperD bike from the pics in the link, dig the gravity dropper seatpost. Actually looks pretty well built I wanna take it out and give it a good ride and see how it feels
Am I missing out on some joke?
No not at all, The pic you see in teh post doesnt show it, but the link there shows it, Its on the second Pic, I actually like the idea of being able to Change seatpost height on the fly
May not be a Gravity Dropper brand, but same idea
Oh, I missed the link before. It does look like a nice build and the dw-link is a plus.
Seems like may be too much travel for a trail bike, Bcd's 29" DH rigs run about the same no?
What's up with that 60 degree seat tube angle?
Overall looks promising though!

with a verticle ish axle path the wheels comes close
to the seatube. to get a seatangle close to 73 they
have to do that.
i actually have like 5.75 rear. and i am going up to 6.75
next bike.
That bike is definitely NOT a dw-link, at least not a licensed one.
looks awesome, they say no price range yet but does anyone have any educated guesses?
QFP. This one's onto something...
.....WTB and White brothers leading the charge 
.....

Got a closeup On this bike today an IB, And i have to say, hopeing not to piss anyone off, that i am dissapointed with teh rear sus. Too many bushings, not enough bearings in the Pivots, I figured that most people would know by now to stick to bearings, specially in the longertravel bikes.
See Turner for bushings done right...
So put heavier bearings back in after interbike.....that's a new one....:huh:
Why not? It's a second-gen pre-production proto that's likely to see even more refinement before it goes into production next year. I guess they could have just not shown it at all, but what fun would that be?
It's not like they're taking orders on it. Just a teaser more than anything else.
That looks like it will take a couple hours of siping to get it to hook up.
i was just looking at those photos saying to myself, "if that thing was 83x150 i'd be all over it" and then i scroll down, and sure enough!!!! i just about crapped myself.
also, that 2nd wtb tire looks absolutely terrible... so it's heavy and has an embarrassingly bad tread pattern, wow...

yeah, weird hardpack side but loose soil knobs for braking?
Sure hope they do, will make the bike alot tougher, Guess i will have to take another look once they release a Production version
I keep seeing this on their website, it looks like a lot of bike for a 29er. Is it really DH specific? I really like how 29ers corner and roll, but interested to see such a long travel version in the trail bike side of things
no, when it comes out it will be allmountain. no slack headangles
yet. i did talk to them about it though for some side testing.
