I am looking at getting a new DH frame next year. I have been talking with Mountain Cycle for quite sometime about their new Shockwave 9point5. I wanted to get some opinions on this frame from all of the knowledgable DHer's on this site. Take a look at the pic and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

My opinion? It's ugly as ****!

Seriously though: I've never ridden a DH bike.

Try the DH/DS forum. Get ready for Yeti, Turner, B1, Balfa, and Giant suggestions.

dude in the price range for that bike, you should realy be looking at about every other bike company, they have nicer frames for cheaper

A friend of mine had a Shockwave. It broke twice where the shock bolted to the main frame. Maybe his problem was an isolated incident, but it happened on both sides of the frame near the weld. Like it was already said, there are plenty of options, so don't limit yourself to one choice.
