a quote from DW himself

"Unfortunately this is not a licensed dw-link bike, and I had nothing to do with the design.

As this point it's gotten blatant and ridiculous. It's certainly not fair, but what in life is. We have to keep believing that the system does what it is supposed to and things are righted eventually. I'm a firm believer in karma, so.."

i think it looks quite alot like the new trek session 88... there are alot of companies that seem to be styling their bikes like the sunday too.

ibis already had the dw link license so surely it will go to someone else in 09? hopefully a company who make a dh bike !  Cheesy

If they made the seat tube straight, instead of bent. Then it would look loovely.

Still, it is very sunday like.

One thing though with that linkage, the lower rocker revolves around the bottom of the shock. It doesnt on a dw link such as on the sunday. So its obviously not DW anyway to go along with what mr dw has said anyway.
I think im wrong Cheesy

Downtube looks alrite, not too bendy, but a little subtle, looks nice.
Headtube join is same as sunday though.

Indeed, he's on Ibis, not Giant...

Thats the one, cheers  Smiley

He's also got them on Pivot bikes.

There also some rumours that a much bigger brand is proto'ing them for their '10 range too.

i believe this could be the new glory?

looks slightly different. especialy where the shock pivot is mounted to the downtube.




doesnt look like the new glory to be to be honest.

looks like an IR by how the shock is still placed vertical.

The thing is, Giant must know those shots have gone out and the new Glory is due soon. It strikes me as commercial suicide to leak shots of the '10 bike just before they try to launch the '09...

That'd make sense, although they have never done it for me in the past. Their twin toptube hardtail just upsets me.
