excited to see this in person. looks to be a mighty fine ride!

And hopefully drive down pricing.It shows that the industry are in high gear towards the carbon material in the DH world,i think with in 10 years every brand has a carbon DH bike.The Carbon Wilson looks pretty sweet
Doubt that. Devinci's are priced well. Even the Specialized Demo 1 is about $4000 cheaper than the trek.hopefully it is not in the same price region as it's technical twin, the carbon trek....
As do Ipersonally I think the graphics are pretty wicked.
I got to thinking about the price of carbon bikes this week given my conundrum regarding my trail bike. I was really surprised that the Specialized carbon frames are almost twice the price of Ibises (Ibisii? Ibii?). I think someone somewhere is leading someone else down the garden path.Doubt that. Devinci's are priced well. Even the Specialized Demo 1 is about $4000 cheaper than the trek.hopefully it is not in the same price region as it's technical twin, the carbon trek....
It's not like they'll stop producing the aluminium frames... I imagine there'll still be canadian-made frames availabe for sale...Who is producing it for them? I could be wrong but i thought they didn't have carbon manufacturing capabilities at their factory? Having a Still fully in house made Canadian frame was one of the cooler parts of devinci...
I think that will happen a lot quicker than 10 years.It shows that the industry are in high gear towards the carbon material in the DH world,i think with in 10 years every brand has a carbon DH bike.The Carbon Wilson looks pretty sweet
According to a rep. I know, it will be $1100 cheaper... ($3300)hopefully it is not in the same price region as it's technical twin, the carbon trek....
ten years is an eternity in the bike industry. especially with how fast bikes and materials have been progressing in the last 2-3 yearsi think with in 10 years every brand has a carbon DH bike.
guess: in 10 years only a few companies will STILL have carbon DH bikes. there will be something newer, cooler and better...i think with in 10 years every brand has a carbon DH bike
What? Material technology trickles to dh from other sports. What new material is used in sports that is an improvement over carbon? Horses? CNT and that other fancy shmancy super thin carbon thing are still many years away from being affordable and doable let alone tested and proven.guess: in 10 years only a few companies will STILL have carbon DH bikes. there will be something newer, cooler and better...
CNT resin not pure cnt handlebars. That's a huge differance. Honeycomb carbon was supposedly used in snowboards (it might have been the name) and it wasn't nothing special. Ti + Carbon is a nice technology but Ti will probably not drop in price. It's hard to work with and I doubt it will change.CNT has already been used in handlebars. titanium woven carbon(carbotanium?) and honeycomb carbon and the next things to trickle down from the aerospace and automotive sector.
