omg, that is easily the ugliest bike i have ever seen, lol
My Disco Volante treats me right
for me IH sunday, by a mile, although i always liked the m1's. id' love to give the lahar a test ride just to see how different it feels to all the other bikes out there.
Since this thread is "whats the DH rig of champions?" I'm going to have to stick my oar in.
Of the 6 Lahar m8's that were built in 2002 all 5 that went to elite level racing produced champions. Three national no1's, regional champions in Auckland,Taranaki, Wanganui, Nelson,Dunedin and Christchurch. Results saw 5 Pros "due to an unusually abrubt improvement in race results" put on UCI drug report.
Has any other bike produced this rich a harvest of champions?
Is there evidence as strong of race advantage from any other bike?

i obviously named it wrong, should have simply be" what's your favorite dh rig" i wasnt really looking for witch bike wins the most, because in my opinion, it isnt the bike you ride, it the rider....
Thats just about the most proven rule in cycle racing.SteezyWeezy said:
Only two times are universally acknowleged when an obvious performance advantage was demonstrated by a design:
-the recumbent in the 1920's, quickly banned by the uci.
-the aero carbon TT bikes of the late 1980's early 90's, quickly banned by the UCI.
Most peoples favourite bike is what the champions are paid to ride. Or a heavier version with different geometry that looks like it anyway.
Because our molds got stolen at the beginning of m8 production the bulk of our racing has been honest privateer owner stuff. Every owner says they'll never ride another bike. Can't get more favourite than that.
if one rider in 20 gets put on drug rep then the chances of 5 from 5 are 1 in 3.2 million. Or the UCI might have been telling me to cool my heals before they banned gearbox bikes.

you all give me bad feedback, call it a waste of a thread, but if it was a waste, nobody would have posted or voted.
Sunday Sunday Sunday!
SleezyWeezy: "you all give me bad feedback, call it a waste of a thread, but if it was a waste, nobody would have posted or voted."
Hells bells!, I never ment to give you that impression.
thanks for the opportunity to get a few facts out there!
I'm pleased that the "other" vote shows a growing wisdom in the mtb community about the value of boutique gear built and designed by enthusiasts not profiteers.
You'll never cater to everyone with 10 choices, the values in the discussion.

By the way Steezy, with a question like "what's the DH rig of champions?", why would you expect people to post their favorite rides, unless they're BC VAN?And why would you base your "favorites" on looks?
you wanna specify why it is a retarded poll? because i didnt include a gt? hardlyghettogt76 said:
