During the 2014 Asia Pacific Downhill Challenge, we caught a glimpse of the 2015 Patrol 871 downhill bike. Patrol is an Indonesian brand that is stepping up their game with a World Cup DH team in 2015. Patrol will produce two 27.5-inch DH bikes. The 871 (shown here) and the lesser-spec'd and more affordable 872 model. They also produce a carbon XC hardtail frame built with varying specs and price points.

would have like to have seen more of that freak flag mullet. Cool bike but the music was a questionable choice especially for someone who looks like Joe Dirt, I'd a thought some classic rock would have fit better.

I was thinking the same, but chainstay length is still odd

Chainstay has to be longer, because with such a short top tube, your ass is going to be hanging WAY out over the back behind the saddle the second the hill actually gets steep.

I don't know why the makers of downhill bikes still can't realize that cable/brake routing on the bottom of the downtube is frowned upon by the end user.
