Fresh from Lenzerheide and the Gamux pits. No more gripshift, now electronic trigger shifter. Can shift while coasting. More deets at Eurobike.

That might be the best looking DH on the circuit!

Just an awesome looking bike. With the idler that high it's going to have really low anti-squat.

Agreed, absolutely beautiful.

I’ve always had a thing for bikes with extremely low top tubes/stand over heights like that. If I had the money and the need for a DH bike, this would be very high on the list.

I might have missed it but when did they switch from the I-beam to the box-section "tubes"?

that's one of those bikes you put on the workstand, sit down on a comfy, oil stained couch with a beer and just stare at while nodding "yep"

Got cables, that's fine. If it takes AAs I'm in.

Good, and about time too.

Just makes sense the electric shifting

Guessing here but it kinda looks like the I section is still there, only taped over:

Think so.

Read on a German site, that the taped it over generously presumably because they changed the layout of the beam cut-aways (if that makes sense).

I’d guess it’s to stop that thing collecting mud and bringing half the track with it over the finish line.
