^Respectfully disagree... proto looked like a proto to me

The only thing I'd change is to lose the whack top tube in favor of a plain straight tube and it'd be spot on

I was thinking the same.

The Nuke proof Mega bike looks pretty fine too.

not overly keen on their "bottlerocket" or the DH bike but quite like the 4X hardtail http://www.singletrackworld.com/2010/04/scoop-new-4x-bike-from-nuke-proof/

Id like to see them do completes. Im curious what deals they could get being a CRC owned company.

I know they're designed differently with diff tech, but I can't help noticing how similar this looks to the TR450, Supreme DH, 951, etc... I guess it's the shock placement and tubing shapes.

^ And the fact it's a bike? ^

4x bike does look mighty sweet!

Even if we had many very similar bikes on the market - competition lowers prices and if its like a tr450 with better weight or some other only 1 thing better it would be a better buy. A win win situation for me. Bring moar frames!

Frames look great, however I am confused how Brant Richards (the guy in the dirt eurobike video) knows so much about full suspension bikes when he has spent the vast majority of his career making and riding rigid singlepeeds? Having said that his previous company on-one made great value, great riding bikes and his new company Ragley seems to be getting rave reviews so he certainly knows what he's doing.

I don't think that there is much about suspension that can't be learnt or acquired with time and money.

With Chain Reaction behind you i would have thought that the only constraint was time.

Which is a whole different kettle of fish to the usual slew of boutique full sus frame builders.

Brants previous brands also includes planet-x. Theres a few other fairly experienced dh riders behind the development and the testing of the prototypes of both the mega and the scalp. They know a thing or two about what makes a bike good. They've been riding and racing the prototype here in Ireland all year and theres been constant tweaks as the year has gone on to refine it.

Soooo all these videos keep saying the Scalp will be on the WC circuit next year, who's riding 'em?? Is this the end of CRC/Intense?

I saw one of them at the CRC tent at Megaavalache. Wonder who was riding it.

That would be one of the irish testers. He's one of the main guys from crc him and another guy who works there have been racing the prototype in masters cat in ireland. I presume they had it at the masters euros in Pra Loup

 

[Gary]

funnily enough he had it at the last round of the Scottish DH series at Fort william today. don't know if he raced - it was very clean when I saw it.

Michael Cowan?

might be didn't want to go sticking names up on the internet. His mate Dale who is CRCs to mechanic was also involved and I hear Ian McIntyre got 2nd in vets on it at the SDA race on sunday.
