UNNO, known for their gorgeous carbon wonder bikes has made a switch to aluminum for their World Cup DH riders. It's not a standard aluminum bike, however. The CNC-machined prototype Ever comes in two halves that are bonded together. Throw in a boatload of adjustability options and stiffness modifiers to round out the awesomeness. It sounds like bringing this black beauty to production is the last thing on their minds. We can still dream.

I have faith that in 2-6 years, if they don't fold the program and based on inflation, we'll see a magnificent carbon frame-only option become available that costs as much as a fully loaded 1994 Geo Metro. Maybe a complete bike will make the Demo 11 look affordable! #dreamer

Based on unno ever pricing, I doubt if it once becomes available that it will be even close to demo or pivot pricing. For such a boutique brand unno pricing is very reasonable imo.

I believe Unno designed and made their own shock in house

The shock body looks like an Ohlins TTX was used as a doner.

Looks amazing! I Love downhill bikes, the last few years I've ridden mine more than any other bike, and I hope this is just me but... Knowing the bike, warranty, support and ride quality, a downhill bike would need to bring something truly unique and special for me to choose anything but a V10. This goes for the new Norco, the Frameworks, the Commencal, the Orbea, this possible Unno, all which I have really been at the the top of my list for different reasons, but again, when I sit down and think about it, why get anything else? The Demo8 does this but at an astronomic price, and still doesnt check all the boxes that the V10 does.

It's just a rux38 with gold stanchions - same as MS racing. 

I haven't heard of anyone using Fox internals in teh SR forks - the RC+ damper is really good so I wouldn't want to do that!

Love the wired grips. Reminds me of the old days. I'm guessing it provides better cushion.

All slip on grips provide better cushion than lock ons, glue+wire is absolute necessity with ultra tacky renthals here though, otherwise they will spin really badly.

I should try some modern ones… just like the 90s when I used to do the same.
