llil bit falling rate. Air should be "ok", coil would be hell no. I generally like these concepts, but damn, suspension needs to be a primary concern. This isn't nearly as bad as some of them though, the rear shock eyelet should pass through the vertical a little after max stroke.Stolen from the Knolly patent piece on PB. @hamncheez from PB is starting his own titanium frame brand:

Loic Bruni has been spotted riding a Demo with an idler.
Different pivot point or trying to have less to no pedal kickback? I saw this a couple months ago, which could probably lead to moving the main pivot point more to the front and upwards. Because, you know, now we have it patented!

good memory.
That would imply even more bearings in a rear triangle having more than most already!
Moar is better...
Looks badass...
I may have to try a big box brand bike....

The value comparison is ridiculous. And arguments about 'quality' etc are fast falling by the wayside as the Box brands just get better and better.
I like that new demo...has my curiosity I also like the commencal DH...I think your right they develope and push the envelope. production can easily get better with a little attention. I like idler setups anywase...love the way the worked on my Jedi ....man full float while braking in nasty chutes...loved it at brundige and tamarack..
I want to see how they do on these...
Oooh, purple.

1.8 Totem incoming.
yup1.8 Totem incoming.
Dat seat tube angle.
if there was ever a time when a kill list was justified...looks like a mondraker and an orange had a three-way with a zerode and a knolly stopped by to get in on the action.
And one of those Polygon/Marin R3ACT monstrosities finished it off.
was going to say i like it - just to be contrarian, but yeah, no.
Who doesn't want a golden pole? 
Looks flexy.
It's like they didn't even try.
People complain about 25/32mm BB drop on a 29er?
13.75"/13.5" bb height. does that really require 165mm crank arms?People complain about 25/32mm BB drop on a 29er?
I *think* Transition designs its bikes to run well with lots of sag. If I'm not mistaken, they're recommending 28-35% for these? And that can get pretty low. I just installed 165mm cranks on my 2016 Patrol, that I run at 35% sag. Not smashing my pedals all the time has been a revelation. I just need to get my spinning legs back.
i'm about 6'1" with long legs. 165 cranks (which i used to run) feel like riding a kids bike to me.
5'9 here, with short legs (28" inseam). Agree about it feeling weird. Moar of my experience on the 165s here fwiw.
the only time i ran them was out of necessity. i had a custom DH frame that was like a 12.625" bb height.
nowadays all my bikes are 175 cranks except my DH bike which has 170s.
Indeed. I made sure to measure mine to ensure that was not the case.The funny thing about some 165 cranks from back in the day was the length was exactly the same as a 175, they just drilled the hole in a different spot... so while the pedal was 10mm up, the crank arm was not
Looking at you FSA V DRIVE EXTEME! aka extremely bent! Damn it is amazing we survived those years.The funny thing about some 165 cranks from back in the day was the length was exactly the same as a 175, they just drilled the hole in a different spot... so while the pedal was 10mm up, the crank arm was not
remember Gravity Light cranks? they bent went exposed to light.
At 6' and 34" inseam, I can't stand trail riding anything but 175s.
