2010 bikes are up!

the ASR5 Carbon and Alloy look pretty sweet. Just wondering tho, what happened to the Yeti 4X and 303DH? now only available to Team riders?

the pics of the DJ are killer...ive only seen one e-tailer with one on their site and it looks like poop.

$645 isnt too bad for that bike, just need some specs

 

[Inclag]

Didn't know RUFUS had two accounts.

I'm liking the 09 colours better on the 303R

 

[bikerpunk98199]

I'm pretty bummed they aren't making the 4x any more, that was a fun bike. The DJ looks rad though, hope they get numbers up on it and the 303r soon. Graphics look so good, clean and professional looking.

 

[DirtMcGirk]

So no more 4x and no more 303r?

Yeti, you're killing me!

 

[Eastern States Cup]

Maybe next year their DH frame will have no rails

 

[spocomptonrider]

Why 500$ more for a tapered head toob on the 303R? Is it really that much more expensive/ labor intensive to manufacture?

 

[speedster]

Any prices on the DJ frame?

My guess is the 1 1/8" frames are being phased out.

 

[Dogboy]

Price on the site is $650.

i was liking the 2009 DJ, but the 1.1" longer TT on the 2010 is looking even better

Same here, I loved my 09 DJ long frame but the top tube length always annoyed me. I felt too small on everything that I rode.

I am excited for the 2010 frame and plan on a full week of breaking it on at Rays this winter.

 

[JDA]

Looks like they changed the geo on the 303R too.

303r is staying, no more original 303.

 

[Dwdrums00]

I can't find the geo numbers for the life of me. Care to enlighten...?

 

[JDA]

below the photo of the bike it says "info"

From what I can see the new 303R has slightly higher BB, longer seat tube and slightly longer chainstays. Other changes are paint colour, RC4 rear shock and available with a tapered or non-tapered headtube.

Scroll down to find it.

 

[gemini2k]

Wow, they are trying wayyyy to hard on that website. Something simple to navigate would be a lot nicer than clever menus and pretty pictures.

 

[DirtMcGirk]

I really like my original 303. It ****ing rocks. And when she gives me her final ride, I wanted another. Bastards in Colorado!

 

[RMboy]

WOW love the new graphics... That 303r is top of my list atm as a next bike!! nooo000 more money

 

[bizutch]

$4150.00 for a complete DH bike? I take it those frames are welded in the US?

 

[Dox]

500$ more for a tapered headtube on the frame only

 

[SylentK]

$2100 for the frame ain't too shabby. Adjustable head angle/bb with one bolt. Sag and bottom out indicators. Kinda cool.

I do find it odd that they're not offering the WC 303.

The ASR5 C would be a sweet trail bike.

 

[4xBoy]

No ARC-X but still has the ARC and at a lower price. I will probably order a ARC soon and a ASR5 by spring.

yep. annoying as hell. their web person should keep in mind the idea that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do that thing.

 

[ilfreerider]

can anyone say whats the reason for the price difference between the tapered and non tapered frames ???

 

[4xBoy]

My guess, 09 non tapered, 10 tapered.

 

[Orfen]

My guess, 09 non tapered, 10 tapered.

in their FAQ they state:
"Some riders wanted a tapered head tube to allow use of a zerostack headset. This allows the ability to slighty lower the height of the front end. Specifically requested by our World Cup level riders."

can't you use zerostack with either HT configuration?

 

[spocomptonrider]

^I am pretty sure the standard one is 1-1/8 steer tube, I don't think anyone makes a zerostack standard headset (correction?)

cane creek? chris king?

 

[spocomptonrider]

Cane Creek says:
Zero Stack (ZS)
The Zero Stack design offers a low stack height and the security of bearing cups that are hidden inside the head tube. ZS cups are compatible only with specifically machined head tubes and cannot be retrofitted to an existing bike with Traditional headset cups.

 

[leprechaun]

basically the 1 1/8 303 R is the current model at a reduced price. The 1.5 tapered frame is still less than the 2009 model was.

They didn't feel the need to have a cyclocross frame in stock at all times. They'll probably make more when they feel there is demand.

Not sure about the 4X but probably the same deal. When they have a number of people dying for them they'll make more. That bike is super badass but did Graves ride one all year? That is the state of 4X right now.

Did they need to have the 303DH anymore? I betcha the WC guys will be on a new proto by spring anyway, possibly that 303 W (wheelpath rail) or whatever they'll call it, the proto that's floating around with the one rail down low going veriticaly.

Everything did go down in price though.

 

[Pete..]

ASR5. Want. Hot bike

 

[djjohnr]

Looks like they changed the geo on the 303R too.

I think they just rounded up instead of down this year. Printed on my bike it says the low bb height is 13.85 and the high is 14.35; so this year it's 13.9 to 14.4 instead of 13.8 to 14.3.

Head angle at its lowest setting went from 64 to 65. Maybe the geo did change. Wish it would have stayed the same.

Look again, I think you're looking at the seat angle. Head angle is still 64/65.

Anyone else noticed the difference in the front shock mount on the RDH?

It is the same mount, same location. What are you seeing differently?
