Were the swingarms on Hill's bike aluminum two years ago? Maybe SC is making the 'full' carbon claim.

Either way, I think it should now be tradition to make this claim every time a plastic bike wins a World champs. It should never stop.

I just saw this over on empty beer. I'm (almost) loathe to resurrect this thread, but... eh! why not:

"Greg’s victory in Leogang, Austria, not only marks his second World Championship title and 8th World Championship medal, but also writes history as the first Downhill Gold EVER to be won on a carbon bike… the Santa Cruz V10."

HAHA! And BAM.
Junior world champs (first senior title I think???)(Unless sam hill was on an undercover Demo Carbon in MSA).
06 in rotorua. Cam Cole. on a haha Lahar. then heaps of people ordered them and stuff happened etc etc million page thread.
Launched Cam pretty good that did.

that doesn't count, that was before people remember. SC is definitely the first.

 

[Mo(n)arch]

Nico doesn't count. He won it only 10 times in row.

 

[Lelandjt]

Nico used a steel rear end.

Btw. A group of friends went on a Spec demo day - Initial Demo Carbon impression : It's the same bike but the CCDB is a better shock than the RC4. They own 2011 demos.

BTW. The price here for the frame only in carbonz is 5155$. My initial legend build was <3k$ with only around 60% new parts(and 95% new to me parts) and a new frame. WTF Spesh?

Depends on a bike. On a legend Ccdb is not something I want. CCDB air yeah but given the fact I decided to lower the % of money I spend on my dh bike it won't be fast before I get it.
