Ahgghh!! they put slicks on it again (RN01 @ Silverstone F1 track)
- Thread starter rockracing
- Start date
With all the mud they get at Silverstone every year, they should shoe up some big Gazzys on it. 
I deduct cool points for the heavy as a Buick saddle though-
Old XTR cranks 
i hear they are flexy as well.

Heh, 2 non drive side old XTR cranks to be exact.manhattanprjkt83 said:Old XTR cranks
so...
Why did they take the red and black paint off? looked way better..
Why does it have different front and rear wheels?
Why do they keep putting slick on it for promo shots?
The xtr cranks And wouldnt a non drive side crank on the drive side require 2 left padals? arent they different? and wouldnt it unscrew?
And whats up with the f1 car with lucky strike graphics but no text? (except on the wing it says "look alike" instead of lucky strike)
oh yeh, speaking of saddles, did anyone see the original saddle? with the big loop on the nose? WTF was that all about?

-To save weight
Why does it have different front and rear wheels?
- The rear hub isn't excatly "standard issure Deemax"
Why do they keep putting slick on it for promo shots?
- because Supermoto is "it" right now...

-XTR cranks rule, the OL5 spine is easy to machine..

They removed the paint to save weight, I can't remember the number but I think it was either 150 or 400 grams. Either way a signifigant difference.
ohhh SNAP!!!!
its sad every picture i have seen of this bike doesn't do justice to its appearance in reality.
its damn beautiful.
me wants one!

I got two beatiful bikes myself, but I still want it.

old XTR cranks had the removable spider, so couldnt it be a set, one left one right, just with the spider taken offTranscend said:
its a bike built for "hucking the freeride urban huckassault!"
would do well at tar river, they have all the urban freeride hucks big drops to flat!

Personally I hate that bike, that f1 car is not much better either.
:mumble:

ink:either way its great mainstream publicity for a dh bike (unless they've displayed an Intense at at a Nascar event already) 
I dunno. Jenson Button seems to be doing a good job with it.Rip said:
Nice bike but could I please take what it's leaning against for a quick spin?
I could have sworn there was more than one RN01, Red, Yellow, Silver, etc.
the japanese team seem to br riding several differnet coloursEigil said:
