Novedades 2017 *The Post*

Parece que se van despejando dudas y en algunos cuadros actuales se podrán montar los nuevos amortos cambiando la bieleta o el yoke en el caso de la Specialized enduro.
No fue eso lo que comentaron en Pinkbike y otras,mejor.

 

Voy a esperar un poco Frosty , que tienen que salir más cositas

 

Ya pero y quién nos dice que esa Enduro no sea modelo 2017 con el estandar nuevo y tal y luego va y saquen esos ca--bro--nes de Spe para 2018 el modelo nuevo de la Enduro estilo Demo que rulaba por ahí??

 

Si fox no ha presentado sus nuevos amortos con esas medidas, vamos a tener para cada montaje una bieleta diferente. Ya no va tuneado el amorto para cada linkage, es el linkage el q va tuneado para cada amorto

Yeti Launches New SB5.5C – We Ride It!
Yeti have launched their brand-spanking new SB5.5C 29er.
Let’s pause for a second to take a look at a photo:


Drool

Nice, huh?

So what is it? Well, it’s one of the new breed of hard-core, mid-travel 29er. Yeti place it ‘where the all-mountain and gravity bike intersect’, which sounds very exciting. So what do we get? Well, on the bike we saw, we get 140mm travel at the back (that’s the 5.5 inches in the name), high modulus carbon fibre, Yeti’s lovely Switch Infinity floating pivot in the middle (hence loads of ∞ logos on the bike), and our first-ride bike came with a monster – and very pretty – 160mm Fox 36 29er fork on the front, which had plenty of people in the office drooling, along with a Fox Float X Factory DPS shock on the back.



Ritchie Rude has been testing the bike as well as Yeti’s own in-house testing team, and everyone seems pretty happy. It’s light – with this spec (and an ENORMOUS 1300g Minion DHF 2.5 up front which Barney and Rich both desperately want) it comes in around the 28.5lb mark, and it bears all the usual hallmarks of the Thoroughly Modern Filly (sorry) – it is, of course, Boost, it’s long, low and slack with short chainstays:



There’s no room for a front mech, although there are ISCG mounts, which is a good plan given the punishment we suspect this bike could take. Going 1x lets Yeti take the chainstays down to 437mm, which isn’t too shabby at all. It’s got a long top-tube, but it’s not super-long – a medium bike has 421mm reach on a 601mm top tube. And at either end of that is a 73.6 degree seat angle, and a 66.5 degree head angle respectively. A 29er with a 66.5 degree head angle and a 160mm fork. Sounds like fun, yes? For now, Silverfish are only bringing it in as a complete bike with an RRP of £6,899.



Our Rich got to take one out to play for a couple of hours when the good folk at Silverfish came to visit, and here are this thoughts:

We had the pleasure and privilege of taking the fresh out of the box Yeti 5.5C out for its first ride. It’s very, very pretty. It is a bike that makes a statement – from the 160mm Fox 36’s upfront to the 140mm float X shock driven by the ace Infinity Switch suspension system.



I’m not a XC racer, and I found the majority of 29ers of old just didn’t suit my riding style – or the trails I like to seek out. This was a feeling many trail riders had, so the big wheels got a bad rep and manufacturers slowly cut the big hoops out of their trail range; opting to only use them on their XC race bikes, where they worked a treat. But times, they are a changin’…

When Kona launched the 29er Process 111, they set the world alight with a big wheeler that rocked the trails; it is a hugely capable bike. Other manufacturers too were looking at the big wheels and geometry with different glasses on. The emergence of 1x systems and the introduction of Boost hub spacing has helped this along too – they provide engineers with more space to fit everything in, and burlier wheels to come with the terrain.



I’ve spent a lot of time on Transitions Smuggler this winter, and I’ve become quite a fan of what the shorter travel, aggressive 29er trail bikes offer. The SB5.5c feels like the next step in to the 140mm mid travel sector, without hurling into ‘long travel’ range. Although what’s 10mm between friends anyway?

After a quick setup and cockpit tweaking was done and it was time to see what the 5.5c was made of. We headed off to some of our favourite tracks in Hebden Bridge. With only a small window of time to ride the new 5.5C we got a lift to the top of a trail that has a bit of everything. Packhorse slabs, greasy cobbles, a muddy climb, steep rock garden, some tight turns and don’t forget a abundance of roots. We haven’t managed to test the SB6 but I’ve found the 5 a monster in this environment.


The 5.5C and its shadow (the 6)

We all know it’s a bad idea to roll into a trail at speed on a new bike, with tyres and geo you’re not familiar with. But within a matter of metres the SRAM Guide brakes where released and the 5.5C swiftly worked up to speed.

Instantly you can feel the bike’s pedigree shining. It has had some series influence from the current EWS champion Richie Rude. The Switch Infinity link felt bottomless with a nice smooth ramp up. The Float X shock provides a great sensitivity over repetitive impacts and it recovered well on the hard pack horse trail.



The SB5.5C seems to fit perfectly between the 5c and 6c; very very capable on the roughest toughest courses and tracks out there, but I suspect it’d be a comfy all-day bike too. EWS style race bikes are often found in areas where in my opinion they are way too much bike, but something like the 5.5C? It straddles both camps. It climbs and descends with life, and a poppy spring in its step. You forget that the bike is rolling on big wheels.



I for one can’t wait to see how it handles the steepest, cloggy tracks. From the short time we spent on the 5.5c we were very very impressed with how it rides and feels. I like.

 

Y si mides menos de 1.70m no es tu bici!

 

Esto ya empieza a ser interesante con 160 y 140 detrás.

 

Es logico y el afan de diferenciar lo "mejor" de lo "peor" o lo caro de lo barato....
En el mtb hay mucho masmolismo y sobre todo mucha gente "entendida" que no dudara en señalarte con el dedo si te has comprado algo basico y el lleva lo tope, aunque le saques minutadas subiendo y bajando.

Antes, las fox, llevaras la evolution o la factory (sin kashima) a simple golpe de vista no las diferenciabas. Ahora si lo vas a hacer, y habra gente que se gaste mas para que no se nota.

Mismo sistema se usa en el mundo del motor, cuantos audis, mercedes y bmw se ven con motores pequeños, acabados bajos y kits deportivos?

 

Yo creo que FOX mas bien lo ha hecho como diciendo, todas las que llevan baño negro son gama media, y las kashima es la gama alta.

Operación de Marketing.

Lo que pasa es que hay mucho tieso. A ver esto de que va? De pilotar? De estar fuerte como el vinagre y subir a tope? ....... Pues no, aquí hay que tener lo último de lo último y así y sólo así serás alguien en el monte.
Ala borrarme de este foro de tiesos. No se porque pierdo mi tiempo aqui

Interesante!! Donde se pueden ver las geos y que cubierta máxima le entra??
Un saludo!

 

Es lo ultimo que les falta para los más geek´s....llevar toda la info en la pantalla de la mascara.
Ondevamosaparar...???

 

Aunque pensándolo bien,en alguna carrera si pudiera aparecer la trazada anticipada cual road book seria la h0stia.....y si añadimos : 3ª a fondo sasar salto al final ...lo bordamos....

 

ahí las dao! todas las barras negras, para el inconsciente colectivo, acabarán siendo de mercadillo.

Ya se encargará FOX de regalar horquillas kachimba a todas las bicis tope de gama de todas las marcas, que siempre será más barato que malvender los millones de PIKEs OEM a esas marcas de "renombre" para que rellenen las gamas medias.

 

Siiiii eso de peña que se cree más que otros por llebar mejor material que otros lo sabemos desde los parblarios, los había con Nike y Converse y los habíamos con Paredes e imitaciones y no por eso eramos más malos jugando a fútbol...

Luego en la pubertad los habíamos con Derbis Variant trucadas hasta el culo y los había con TZR y NSR y en algún caso con una Variant y el manillar 3 piezas íbas más rápido por un tramos de curvas, luego llegas a hacer tandas a Montmeló con un León 1.8 Turbo 4x4 y tienes que hacer luces pa que se aparte un pixapí con su Ferrari, su Porsche o su estúpido Mercedes... te miran mal por llebar un Seat y te miran peor porque puedes ir más rápido que ellos en fin...

Moraleja?? "Siempre hay gi--li--po--llas a cualquier edad y en cualquier rincón del mundo". Masmolan se creen en su entorno de señores, pero ante el resto todos sabemos lo que son.
