I have seen it, hardly the look of a polished WC product. But then that’s hardly a surprise! Not my cup of tea at all.

DW link so not interested, that’s for trail bikes. Commencal will wipe the floor with them again with their design, with a bike that costs a third of what they will sell this for.
Lol! - because of course an armchair 'expert' from a bike forum knows more about these things than multiple world champions.

Polished? Last few years have seen a bodgetastic set of DH Bikes
Can't see merchandise selling if they only do superbike prices/models. And hard to see how the bikes will sell regardless of results if they don't do a cheaper alu version or have a complimentary trail bike (yt nailed it with jeffsy) which people can aspire to.
Anyway, genuinely interesting to see how they do. Really keen to see if gee can make it back to the top 5 regularly. Think Rachel can ride an Apollo and get top 5 most rounds.
Atherton bikes have just posted this Image, trying to see if the linkage is the same which I don’t think it’s the same bike
I think if you look closely the second photo the top tube / seat tube lug is integrated where as the first photo has a gusset/brace. The linkage in the first photo appears to have the pivot forward if the seat tube and the second linkage doesn’t look like it is as far forward of the seat tube in length or pivot point.
Better look at it here:

Looks like someoneshomemade attempt at a Giant Glory....
They’ve built a Turner 🙂
Personally, I like it.....
Wouldn't buy one though - far too much gnar for me......
looks like a bamboo bike with better finished hemp wrap and a carbon weave tape job

Of course the original Glory was a knock-off of the Iron Horse Sunday, which was also designed by.....?
Personally I love the way the DW link behaves on the turner's I've had. If they can bring some of that, with a British made brand to get behind, at a sensible price (robot pricing was a bit too steep imo) then I'm all ears. Certainly excited to see what they bring to the market.
I don’t get why folk (inc Hora, of all people) on pinkbike are all saying ‘it’s just an R160’? As if a 27.5” 160mm enduro bike is the same as a 29er DH race bike...
So.... when are the old classifieds coming back?
The new one is a proper crank

Because people on the internet with a spreadsheet can tell you how any bike rides, the good ones can even do it from a photograph. We should respect our betters in that respect.

No ones stating how it will ride.
They're questioning the value of a product that doesn't add anything new other than being a DW link carbon bike that will be very, very expensive based on the previous robot frames - who's geometry can be customized. Very few people customize the geometry of their bikes, most will purchase off the shelf geometry. The hook seems to be "oooh 3d printed" - but to me, it just produces a bike that looks like a bamboo bike.
I don't see the point in it's existence and I don't see where it fits in the market. But maybe the Athertons will prove me wrong.
Anyone turning up to a group ride with that name on the downtube is going to need to be bloody fast, or they'll look like a right tool. 😀

To win WC DH races. Maybe sell a few of the back of that.
