I just did some searching on UCI Doping regulations. In there they talk about target testing, which selects riders to be tested for things like, former doping infractions, a higher than historical performance, third party tips, and for consistently being ... more »

Yes, it will work. The suspension design on the bike is a dual rotating link that will function similar to Giant Meastro, DW Link and KS Link bikes. The only big difference is that a quick glance at the frame makes it look like the shock is just floating ... more »
