I always dig these kind of videos, there was an awesome one Jeff Steber filmed a while ago, called Don't watch the arc (I think), it was in the Intense welding bays, real cool to see a bike being made from raw materials.
I think an asian factory video would lack a certain 'feel' of what these type of manufacturers posess, i.e. Intense, Turner, Morewood et cetera.
Pay closer attention
Have a look at the Red bike on the Park tool stand saying "prototype" on it.
That would be the Sukuma, though that doesn't give us any more than last year's Sicklines video with DW and Andre explaining the bike.
I'm quite miffed that there were no interviews with them, explaining 1. the reason for delay 2. the decision to go with a carbon seatstay and 3. when the hell it's coming out!

There is two split pivot models on the way the Sakuma 150mm and the Jabula 170mm. Fingers crossed they will be on there way early 2012. Ive been waiting quite some time for a Sakuma. All the other 2012 Morewoods will be available in Europe from October.
both of the new split pivot models are on my radar, i'm just having problems deciding if i want to be on the lighter or harder side of the all mountain/freeride type bikes
kinda the same here and after taking my Shova to the alps and having an absolute blast riding it there. Im kinda thinking i want something with a little more beef. That said for most of the riding I do at home the Shova is perfect. Ive ridden a few Mbuzis and while there awesome descending they are a little more work on the climbs. Given that the Sakuma is the replacement for the Shova and the Jabula takes over from the Mbuzi. It will be a tough call as to which to go for.
