Guys you are right, it is a completely new bike (the clue was in the title...... 2009...ahem). It's so new I don't even have a picture. We will be launching the range at the Scarborough Urban DH. The bike will be running 5" travel (which is more than enough for majority of the UK courses.) The current team (including myself) have just returned from racing at mega '08 on Hardtails......yes that's hardtails. We had one of our riders actually qualify in the top 400. Overall. It is a definate slopestyle bike, and anyone interested is welcome to come and have a chat at Scarborough.

As for experience, we will be short listing a select few, and bringing them out riding with us. You could be an NPS vet, or you could have never raced before. If you cut the mustard on the bike, you're in with a chance.

its nothing to do with 5inch .... the head angle on that bike is ALL WRONG for going down hilll . will be as twitchy as fook once pointed downwards ....

if thats light (25lb mark) , ill race it at ultra endurance events for you Wink
