12-12.5 with sag is sweet IMO!

Any lower and you better not pedal much! My VPFree has a stated static BB height of 15.4 but it settles to about 12.5 and I still bash off of tons of things, yet it rails pretty well! 2dges of headangle and .5" off that BB at sag and its a DH bike!!

Thats a session 10? With 2.5" of its 10" sagged it has a 12" BB -- woot... that thing will about bury the bashguard on a G-out!! Kewel...

I think BB heights are about how you ride, what your ride, and your style. If your full out racing, go lower. If you like to jump a f around, than you can go slightly higher for a livlier feel. Any ways, how does session 10 ride? with all that travel, how does it compare to a V10 which has different geometry and suspension design?

any one have news on the session 8?

I just don't find this all that special.

My 2005 Norco Team DH is 13.5" static and around 11.5" at sag with a 64.3 degree head angle (static). Mine has a custom shock shuttle to get those numbers, but I built it to mimic the 2007 model. It's a pretty normal DH race bike geometry I thought.

I clip the odd pedal and sometimes nail the bashguard but that's what it's there for.

just measured my swd's bb height, sitting at 13.2" without sag... pretty damn low, makes for some sweet pedal grinds on some turns...

but it's also effing badass in berms...
