[Closed] best looking downhill bike of all time!!!

is there any footage of those ridiculously long forked DH bikes being ridden? I just cant picture them working.

what a nutter. does he still ride? some modern suspension would do wonders .

I have got a shocker too. Mine is purple and gold.
I think it looks amazing, goes like a monster too.

Northwind.
That spine protector is ace.
Glad to see there's still a lot of pisstakers out there.

bit late to the party on this one but of course the answer is

Obvious really!!!

The SuperCo, the later generation Sunn Radical and the DVO Intense 951 Evo

Recent Nicolai's are just look so clean. Use straight tubes! [img] [/img]

or the recent lapierre dh bikes look so fast

Loved the big monocoque mountain cycle growing up. They were probably less bike than my trance but they looked like absolute brutes at the time. Equipped with some zzyzx forks obviously.[img] [/img]

Quite partial atm

always like the look of this [img] [/img]

Wysiwyg has won the thread that prototype YT is rad.

The new carbon YT is the one for me, looks like it could genuinely move things on in terms of low weight, agility etc while retaining the hard hitting qualities of a DH bike.

The Honda is just brilliant, its like HRC just decided to remove the engine from one of their little 125cc GP bikes and fit pedals...there you go, finished!....we need more madness like that in DH.

That YT is ghastly..Looks like Lamborghini tried to make a bike and got it wrong.

Just scanning this topic can I just say downhill seems to have been responsible for some of the most gopping machines ever created. I guess it's all part of but on the bleeding edge of gnar.

One of the best looking in the flesh

Just looks very "right"

I'm not thanking anybody for including huck bikes and other frankentrocities - but some of the early machines do have their charm

Some comedy classics on this thread. But that Nicolai proves that simple always looks good.

+1 on the turner - lusted over one in Orange for ages, almost pulled the trigger when CRC had a load of discounted ones, but hesitated based on some iffy reviews and odd sizing and never went through with it.

Bad pic but zerodes.. the newer shape is nicer still

Use straight tubes!

Having said that, I used to quite like the look of the [url= ]sintesi bazooka[/url], which only had a straight top tube (which was also horizontal).

Old DH bike HTs look very steep huh?

if i lived anywhere near a proper hill i`d have a zerode.

well acutally i'd have some battered, ropey old nearly cracked frame, much like i do now, btu i'd WANT a zerode. things of wonders they are. They had one in the bike shop downt eh road and it was definatly lustworthy.
