And a Lefty to boot!

A fugly toy for a tradeshow. Mountain bikes should be bullet-proof and that thing would most likely be toast after a week of real use. That said the frame and fork are nice. :banana:

How can it be fugly if you like the frame and the fork? You don't like the Edge bits? Or the KCNC crank? I thought it was pretty understated for a trade show bike.

I'll trust the Fairwheel people that it works!

I love the clean cockpit and the integrated electronics in the stem. It makes me want to make a bike with all of the wires integrated into the whole frame as well.

Cool bike, I would beat the snot out of it!

I've always wondered how well the front wheels hold up on those one fork blade rides. I guess it works but it seems like there would be a lot of force/tension on one side.

It makes no difference at all. If anything, the Lefty is such a fantastic fork that it may even help a little.

That said, some riders beat the crap out of their wheels, others dont. It doesn't matter if you are on a Left or a FOX.

Read the article. Other than a wheel swap for more realistic rubber and probably clincher rims, that will be a daily rider and Jason will have no problem beating the snot out of it.

interesting for sure.

However, i am partial and obsessed! This by far is the coolest 29er out there!
