I can't understand. The photo of that bike is really awesome. First time I have seen that threads of carbon fiber and kevlar used in bike as well. It makes it really strong.

I've never ridden any other carbon mountain bikes, so I don't have much to compare it with. It climbed like a champ but felt a bit shaky on the downhills. The Delta 7 guy at the demo claimed that you can knock out a whole bunch of the triangle links on the frame without the whole thing cracking, but I'm not sure I'd want to ride any cracked frame.

(the brakes are massively powerful because of the weight of the bike.) As for the mud weighing the bike down, it will do no more than on any other bike. It was a very solid bike. I was sad to have learned about the trouble at interbike, but after having caught up to them at sea otter, there were no broken bikes. The bike has actually come down in price as well, and FYI one of their racers took first down there making a new track record.

I saw that dude hauling the bike down the trail--dusty as ever. At least he was walking down, seemingly-unscathed. But, it looks like he chipped a tooth, which isn't cheap to fix, my friend. I was scheduled for a demo ride on that bike later on in the day, but I quietly let the time slip--opting to ride something a little more proven. Maybe another day I'll get on the Arantix, but not until they fix that flaw. Yikes! HA! I saw that dude hauling the bike down the trail–dusty as ever.
