[rollertoaster]

holy crap. That it the sickest bike I've seen in a long time

 

[4xBoy]

#34.8 Wow.

Nice bike you have there.

 

[IH8Rice]

killer bike!....dont see enough em them here in the states.
i see u went all out on all the parts huh?

 

[Arkayne]

I'm just jealous

 

[Tamo]

good one HAHAHA. Thats me taking a piss on my brand new bike

 

[ph4se_1]

wow....insane bike ya got there but isnt the lower chainstay on them pretty weak?or have they sorted that for 09?

 

[rosenamedpoop]

That thing is F*CKING pimp.




.

 

[offtheedge]

ummmmm, yes please.

very nice.

 

[dexter]

boner time

 

[partswhore]

Oh damn! Seriously hot ride!

 

[stinky6]

No BOS suspension, what a POS.


Just kidding, it looks really nice, let us know how it rides and post up some ride shots if you get a chance.

 

[dilzy]

How does the lower linkage actuate the shock?

Is it like the new sx trail where the eyelet just has an extender on it or is there some new fandangled trickery going on behind that frame tube?

Could you post up a picture of the lower linkage and the lower shock eyelet please.

Aside from that; "very nice"

 

[JCL]

I've never liked the look of the linkage either but the build is perfect.

 

[Broken_Spoke]

Pure beauty

 

[Damo]

One of the things that makes this a killer bike is the build. Pure functional kit there. No cutting weight down by putting XC stuff on.

Very nice work Tamo and welcome to RM. Hope you stay on.

Swedes are good fun. Drop me a line if you ever bring that thing down here.

 

[Lelandjt]

Suprised how light it is with those wheels, cranks, Hbars, chainring. Not superlight stuff. That frame must be LIGHT! All parts mentioned are way lighter on my V10 and it weighs 38lb.

 

[Hannu]

Not to say that it can't be that light, but still...I had a 08 radical last year, with pretty similar parts(only no ti spring), some even lighter. I think that wheels in last year bike were a bit lighter with DT hubs and 5.1d rim. Anyway, it was something in 17.5kg. It was a large frame, so it might be a bit heavier. Pretty nice bike anyway, I think that vivid might be a better shock for that bike than last years roco. At least in stock configuration roco was pretty terrible for that bike, maybe because leverage ratio is a bit lower than normal.

 

[Albion]

wow....insane bike ya got there but isnt the lower chainstay on them pretty weak?or have they sorted that for 09?

They sorted out that problem for the 2008 version already, it was the first run of bikes 2007 that had that issue.

They been using that same linkage-type since 1994 !! even with modifications to it over time of course, BOS desgined it (well, they were part of Sunn back then). Pretty damn succsessful too!

BOS also has a special version of the S*TOY made only for the new Radical, so there is more pimping to do for this bike ;-)

Super sick build though!

 

[AlmostHeaven]

WOW there's a party in my pants. your bike is invited.

sickest bike of 2009 so far ftw.

 

[RMboy]

Mate its beautiful.. But im not a fan of the new demax, or raceface canks.. but the rest is sweet. and i want one!

How does she ride?

 

[al-irl]

thats sweet as. It makes my one look like a bag of ****

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Very nice!!! Where did you get the Twenty6 stuff from?

 

[BIOMASS]

awesome, perfect!!!

 

[Tamo]

Thanks for all the nice comments. You can order Sunn bikes directly from www.ilikebike.se or contact me


Damo: Thats exactly what the idea behind the build was. Thank you

Lelandjt: Im using XTR BBs with the Atlas cranks and its like 5g heavier than the gravity lights. The -09 Deemax are not the lightest but much lighter than last year. Think that E13 chain ring is the lightest out there?

Albion: No BOS stuff here, too heavy Thank you :biggrin:

RMboy: I have only tested the -09 Radical Evo for 3 weeks. (Dislocated my shoulder on that bike so its still not 100%..) And it rode really really nice! The only thing I will miss on my bike is the Boxxer team forks, nicest forks ever..

Brian HCM#1: The stem I got from you The pedals and bar caps from ride-this. Thanks again // Tamim Mhanna
