Was a cooler company before Pharrell Williams was involved  ::) .

One of their top fabricators and co-founder ( Doc ) left and started Superco ;)

Their hardtails are nice and they seem like a cool company.  But their downhill bikes are over-engineered and way over-weight.

I wouldn't be able to ride one of those beasts up a hill, Paul, so pushing (or taking the ski lift) to the top would be my only option!

Specialized 4-bar/FSR or Intense VPP for me when it comes to full-sus designs.

 :wtf:  Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.  Takes 2 peole to ride it. One of em (steering) will end up with his spuds like melons :shocked: the other either ends up looking like he's having a tug or takes his teeth out on the cross bar when the guy steering sticks the brakes on because his plums are killing him :idiot2:

 ::) Having said that along with a few of the  EM guys at the time (Gary Sladden, Keith Bicknell and Si Carter I think) i did ride one of them 4 wheel bikes round the bmx track at Pontins one year.   Dont remeber which one of us hired it but being as we also managed to put it on its side at  a fair old speed going down hill round the chalet area i imagine  :10_2_12: when it went back  :2funny:
