just mountain bikes...

kakaibang mga bundok biseklita...parang di ko sasakyan ang bike na ito...


Here's one of the more 'interesting' products we've seen in a while. This one comes to us from Austria. Would you ride it?

The bike has 180mm travel front and rear, and the fork is integrate into the frame. One of the primary benefits of the design is being able to maintain the headangle throughout the range of travel. The bike has a 29" front wheel and 27.5" out back. The fork and its linkage are made from 7075 aluminum.
