what...so the designers got all tired out with bringing the front half into the 21st century that they forgot to finish the rear? . . . (and the head tube angle, apparently) . . .
at least you can put an F'der on it.
because enduro.
because enduro.
They're still in business?
Kona rear end on a trek front triangle is what I'm seeing
wow TE stopped being a dickwad long enough to dictate a new statue be made in his likeness
Tony sold the company to some carbonz guyz. That's why they now have moar holz to place the shockz. una baik tu rul dem ol. That didn't work, even for Sauron.
hey it's just in time for the red bull rampage. hucking is cool again right?
now all we need is Jan Karpiel and Josh Bender to resurface and we will have all 4 horseman of the hucking apocalypse
you guys missed the part where the HA is steeper than my 2005 7point.
no. we definitely didn't.
we also didn't miss the stormtrooper approved 15" BB height.
Pfff... It's a well known feature. You can't huck on anything without at least 67° of HA.
I love how you guys are always bagging on an innovative company that brought us the following, umm, "innovations":
* ICT and zero (fvcking nada!) energy loss suspension
* Rare earth carbon (versus the more common version which seems to be everywhere)
* Force Vector Anisotropic Design™ (whatever the hell that is)
* HD, High Pressure molding technique (thats right, their frames come in High Definition, 1080p)
* Anisotropic Geometric Lay Up design
* The 2.8 pound frame is rugged and designed to take the beating of constant off road situations
Let me know when other companies start offering that kind of assotropical technology.

They also have cycology:
That's exactly what I thought yesterday when I saw PricePoint was having a sale on Ellsworth frames...
Not just this frame either, literally every frame they have has too steep of a head angle.
They also have cycology:
Well to be fair, I'm sure it does provide an adrenaline rush. Fear of death tends to get the heart racing.
sounds just like my 7 point before I got slacker cups.
in other back from the dead news, not only is Risse still making suspension, they apparently are releasing a fat bike fork.
ha, i almost sh!t my pants when i saw them at interebike. i think the fat fork was just a trixxxy with wider crowns.
63-degree headtube, 14-inch bb and 17.5-inch chainstay is quite modern in all fairness.
Still don't understand why on earth you would buy another fork, shock and put a front mech on it..
Front mechs are so 2006...
that's borderline unrideable on the internet
Always wondered who bought Ellsworth bikes anyway? Does anyone know?
so if we slapped some mountain bike wheels (26" for you roadies), that'll should put the BB height down to a place where you won't die from the bends
If those geo numbers are in reference to this thing:
Color me incredulous, as that doesn't look like a 63* HA and it also appears taller than 14". Obviously just e-estimating, but this is 63* and a scoosh under 14"
Regardless, I hope they get Super T out of retirement so he can huckulate the gnar on that beauty...
Btw, now that Trek and Kona have changed up their aesthetics considerably over the last few years, can Ellesworth now confidently claim the "Biggest Fvcking Rocker Arm" title?

just in time for a surprise appearance at the 2014 red bull rampage!
Mmmm, memories...
Bonus points for anyone who can ID this movie
Btw, I had no idea they apparently made a DH bike fairly recently (circa 2012) -

They didn't.
Bo & Luke Sea Utter proto I presume.
In which case, I also have to assume there won't be any sweet Danger Boy rocker arm upgrades either.

Those numbers are, but the bike in the picture does not appear to fit that geometry, and looking at the other bikes on their website, most have a 68 deg head angle...including the AM and Enduro models.
I didn't understand the next part about buying another fork and shock until I read the article you posted. More lolz:
^^ Forgot about that movie..cant remember the nameMmmm, memories...
