i loved the fly but this thing looks even better. 5" stroke shock...... :damn:

Foes says:
Includes custom chainguide, 160mm custom Hadley hub, post-mount floating brake assembly. 4 oversize sealed cartridges in the main pivot. 10" of wheel travel via 5" stroke Curnutt shock. Head angle adjustable +/- 2 degrees via rod-end shock eyelet. Steel, ti, and dual-rate ti spring options available. 83mm BB shell. MSRP starts at $2949 with a steel spring, $3166 with ti spring, $3385 with dual-rate ti. Weight is estimated to be about the same as the existing DHS Mono; the front end is bit heavier but the swingarm lost some weight. The current Mono is still going to be available.

When I think about you I touch myself...

Oh wow. That makes me happy inside, 1:2 ratio is unheard of. Nice job Foes, we'll see how it does on the circuit.

[BrianPark]

Much as I love Specialized bikes, I really wish they would give up their 4bar patent, so bikes like this could be 4bar.

[S.morgan]

wow :damn:

[.243racer]

i'm a n00b when it comes to this stuff, but why is such a long stroke shock any better?

[IFO]

that may just be the SEXIEST frame ever made...

i always loved the DHS mono, but that frame is beyond pimptastic...its orgasmic...

i can only imagine how SEXY it would be in White... :damn:

[spookymilk]

Buy It Ifo, Buy It!!!

[Hack On Wheels]

Beautiful frame...
.243racer, I'm dont know much about it but I believe the longer the stroke is in relation to the amount of travel, the more sensitive/responsive it is, and the easier/better the damping can be tuned. Hopefully somebody can explain it well and correct me if need be.

[IFO]

Buy It Ifo, Buy It!!!


HEY dont u start in...

my buddies are already after me mercilessly..

hahhah :|

[g1mpy]

wow....
that is perfect ... I hope it rides as good as it looks

[RITALIN]

i am in awe that a bike could look so amazing...its looks like the best riding bike ever

[MrPrime]

I have never been disapointed with foes bikes. Amazing stuff.

[P3-boy]

wow....
that is perfect ... I hope it rides as good as it looks
Think about it, It's a foes, I bet it does

[Chump]

wow....
that is perfect ... I hope it rides as good as it looks

It only rides as good as you are.

A nice bike doesn't make you any of a better rider.

[biking_cam]

never really liked the look of the old foes but that is sweet!

Tell that to old man Bryon Enns who attributes getting faster since moving from a GT DH-I to a V10. Owes it all to the bike. Its more of a factor than you'd think.

[Wayne P]

...and by the looks of it, that's about as close to a moto as you can get.

[johnathan]

I would sell every single non-essential organ i have for that. That is probably the sexiest thing i have ever seen. My god i didnt like the 2005 fly but this makes up for it in every possible way imaginable.

[Madman]

I dont know why I dislike foes, I have absolutly nothing against them but their bikes do nothing for me.

[MrPrime]

Steve

but a shitty bike won't help you progress any either.

[umbullit]

oh my :drool:

that thing is absolutely beautifull.
i need to win the lotto.

[kthomas]

That is a wicked frame! :drool:

[bighitter]

Am I the only one that doesn't like it?
it's not your fault, you ride a green devinci.....

[Nelson]

it's not your fault, you ride a green devinci.....

Ah my bad. Sorry.

[johnathan]

Nelson personal choice is a strange thing its what make us all individual but come on just looking at the curnutt on that and i nearly pass out its so pretty. And yes more lottery tickets are nessacary.

[seand]

Am I the only one that doesn't like it?


nope, you are not alone.

[Wayne P]

I think that is one of the best looking bikes on the planet. Not only asthetics, but I'd bet the type and length of that shock stroke would work better than mostly all other platforms out there. I read somewhere that a longer stroke would equal more/better damping adjustments (maybe from BOS Engineering). There could be more stages of compression damping shims in the shock for fine tuning.

I never been a fan of the Foes Mono, but that's a sweet piece of machinery right there. I love technology.

[seand]

I find the shock to be beyond impressive...I bet if i saw that in anything but red...i would like it :D

[Rida Guy]

I can't believe no one has aid it yet: Looks Heavy!

Makes a Scream look like a xc ride

[nsfreeriders]

yep, that looks sweet,

[Painting_of_Rebelion]

i'm a n00b when it comes to this stuff, but why is such a long stroke shock any better?
it's just the way the Cornnutt is made, I think it has something to do with all the special valving going on inside of it... notice there's no external res? I think like Romic it's all taken care of inside the shock body...

That is one SEXY looking frame... pure craftsmanship there.
