Looks like that window will make setting up and servicing the rear shock a little easier. Its a bit of a guessing game as its all hidden in there on current frames. Shock bolts look a little easier to remove/access as well.

If you can get past the jealousy of seeing Bernard Kerr’s warehouse full of motos, cars and toys, this is a nice look at the Pivot DH bike

I don’t have the bandwidth here to watch that. Which is probably good.

Luckily that trunnion mount looks pretty resistant to sideload. I would think it's fine this way.
As long as it's welded in straight.
I wonder what the reason for using it on this frame was? Can't be lack of room unless they wanted that exact leverage ratio.

Haha, you know what made me say no?
Centrelock.
I could deal with the rest of that weirndess.
Something doesnt add up. With those seemingly light hubs, 24 and 28 spokes (wtf, 24?), trail bike wheels over 1500g means relatively heavy rims. Not crazy heavy, but for that weight they better not be expensive.

I would have guessed that they have a pretty good warranty, so they are built stronger for less failures.

But I can't find any mention of warranty of their website.

I've been begging my frame building homie to build up something alot like this - less travel though.

Because changing gear with a derailleur and not twatting it off every thing is too hard?

This is it, it needs some work as the rear is powder coated, my mate who has it right thinks the shock is blown and the decals are miles off original.

Bos suspension is launching a bunch of new products. The article is in French and hopefully your browser will be able to translate it.

i haven‘t even found reviews for the last products. Who buys these and why are they not talking about them?
