Looks kinda funky, I guess the pictures are only artist impressions but I like its idea. The front end looks pretty steep but maybe they'll be more of a rake on the forks on the production model?

I think it looks nice enough, but having that internal gyro setup looks to me like it would prevent a Potts mod front brake.

Not that I'll be having one anyway as I don't have that kind of cash spare, but I would have thought that there are plenty of potential customers this would put off

I want one, but needs a front brake!!!!, images show the mounts on forks but blank?.... Removable?

Unless it's a completely new design, the internal gyro for the rear brake is going to stop you fitting one - unless of course you don't use a Potts mod (but then what's the point of having a gyro?)
Maybe there's room for 2 cables down the middle?

not my cup of tea

gonna be one for the collectors and not ridden properly at skateparks etc.....

also looking at the design there is nothing new, the internal gyro was done by khe around the year 2000 and never took off, looks like the bars and stem are integrated so no adjustment and again has been done before by khe and hasnt taken off!!

save yourself over 2k and buy this very close replica ;D ;D ;D

I personally dont really care either way. It seems like a load of hype for a start, which i hate. Crazy money too and just generally a bit of a wet fart in my opinion.

Is there 2 versions? I have seen a race version which in the scheme of things, looks ok and not that expensive for a full carbon race bmx.
