The Socom looks pretty cool. Definately a good lineup this year. I wish they'd make a 29er 5.5 or 6.6.

Downhiller - awesome post yet again!

I guess the rumors about Intense making a late season FRO M3 are true...

Can't wait to see that one. But in the mean tim I have to agree - the SOCOM looks pretty sweet. Stand-over could be a bit lower, but other than that a sweet frame!

Stuff looks nice, but for the roadies' sakes, I really hope that their world renowned alignment issues don't transfer over to their road bikes.

Who's making their carbon road frame? Coudn't be a US Factory, even Cannodale went to Tawain for their carbon bike.

The Socom looks pretty dope. "The strength of an Uzzi" would imply it's more than a FRO bike, as the Uzzi is a huck bike?

Not untypical at all for 'race only' product.

I have looked the site over (and noe the catalog) to find some mention of this, but they say nothing, in turn, maybe that says something..

If they are truely making a frame of that weight, and they will stand behind it (not just what the warranty 'says', but what they 'do' (see Turner)) That is truely awesome.

If anyone followed the thread on MTBR, the gist was that the SOCOM did indeed come with their standard 2-year warranty, but warranty claims would be scrutinized on a case by case basis. Meaning, if you crash it into a tree and fold a tube, don't expect them to give you a new frame for free. Very fair for a "race weight" frame...

^^^ i was under the impression they were trying to market the socum as another dh race bike, and how many top riders race dh on a single crown fork.

okay makes since in a way, but it still doesnt really explain why they wouldnt put a warrenty on the frame unless they were just offering it to there riders, and if that were the case then it wouldnt have been at interbike, or in this catalogue. so hopefully what jbogner said is what is going to be in affect, but we will just have to wait and see.

Interesting. Both the M3 and the Socom are available with a 135mm rear spacing, despite having 83mm BBs. Surely this gives terrible chainline? Anybody running this setup?

And yeah, let's hope they can build 'em straight eh? :rolleyes:

Just as back aswards as the first year when they were 73mm bb and came as a 150 rear as an option. Or even better, with a standard 73mm bb spacing, any crank bigger than 165mm would hit the seat stay.

Well, thats what happens when some dude makes it in his garage :bonk:

And i agree big-ted, straight welding would be a bonus on a $2600 frame.

okay yes i did forget that chris was running a sc in a wc race :bonk: on me. although how many other riders do you see doing that, and the socom does look a little bit better with a sc on it i will have to say.

Well it wasn't a problem if you used a BB with 128mm spindle, otherwise yes your cranks might not clear the seat stay.

Think the seatpost and seat can go fully in without hitting the tire under full bump? If so, this frame just sold one more to me...

I doubt the seat can go all the way down though with that much travel.
