i was in the school library today reading australasian dirtbike and come across a article entitled "lightweight revouloution" with a short blurb mentioning mountain bikes. now i am quite a avid mountain biker and wondered what that sport was doing in a dirt bike magazine. well anyway i flicked to the story and saw one of the strangest yet very sexy and sleek machines i had ever seen.

i wonder how the world will accept this and if they will go into mass production.

That looks like a trial bike. I've got some footage of these guys in action, pretty cool stuff.

now that is cool... even better than my battery bike !!!!

I passed a few mountain bikers today in 28 degrees celcius .. they were working up a sweat...... i simply zoomed by without pedaling.. was hilarious to see their reaction !

its not a trials bike. trials bike are alot different and aernt made with mountain bike components and a 88cc engine.

They arent now, in the future who knows. I mean if trials riders complain about a 150lb bike being heavy who knows what they'd say about that thing.

well, i've always been thinking about getting into mountainbiking, but i'm just too damned lazy. They've finally taken out the "excercise" factor, looks like i can get one now

electric is nice for cruising to work and just riding around. but if you want to do any serious stuff, electric just wont cut it. if i won lotto tomorrow i would get one of these as they pretty much fill the void between mountain bike and motorbike.

That thing makes the super monsters look freakin small! Thats an insanely heavy 12" travel DH mountainbike fork, I've never ridden on super monsters, "just" monster T's and that was incredible compared to the regular Dj forks I'm used to.
