That's smokin hot. Real test will be strength and durability. Beautiful design though. DHX air is interesting. I was under the impression the majority of riders actually preferred the feel of coil over air esp where big hits etc were concerned

I like it, cool to see more people trying carbon in Dh bikes. Looks like adjusting rebound would suck though Blink

I like the look of it, but I have always had a soft spot for GT's.

The DHi, I always wanted a white Peaty one (from the sprung vids).

The IT-1 was not my cup of tee......
