No weight ? must be chunky? Iodine wheels are all the rage for some reason but they are not that light. And UST tires are often pretty fat. Im gonna blame the wheels for no weight post. Any bike with this much travel under 28 pounds is great but to claim super light with no numbers come on CC.

Raceface has gone over the head of the Canadian Distributer and is selling direct to MT equip CO_OP taking money out of the hands of IBDs who built up the brand boo on MEC boo on RF.

I cant wait to try the attack trail. I own two marins a Quake and a Mt vision they are both stellar rides. The new version has a lot of potential depending on the build could be anything from a epic tech trail bike to a DH machine for smaller riders.

Weirwolfs must work well somewhere they have been making them a long time but nowhere Ive tried em. Too heavy too close/too many knobs the casing is very tall and without 20mm or wider rims I find unstable at lower pressures. Must be a Cali thing cause they sell a million of them

I knew you'd like that. Not my taste. I don't really have the skill-set for that type of bike.

I can appreciate that the dorado is a good fork it it's own right...but... I don't think it's a good match for a 10 inch bike that is designed to be as slack as the M6 tho. the geometry #'s don't work.
I think he would be way better off on a 8 inch bike anyway....but tell him that...hahahaha....
Maybe you gys should wait to see if my 40 sux b4 laying out the $$? haha!
But your cost on the 40 will be like $1300, which is a steal considering how well these 2009s are made.

I sure did, I shit canned the Socom idea once I crunched the numbers. So I'm redoing the KF as a dedicated resort bike. The 40 should be here on tues, so says OGC.
