Iron Horse Yakuza Sohon Bucho Freeride Full Suspension
Product DescriptionYAKUZA / FREERIDEWhether it’s rocking out at your favorite bike park, nailing that drop-in at your local freeride spot, going big deep in the woods, or even a little street or park action, the Yakuza series has a bike to fit your needs! Progressively designed bikes to fit your aggressive riding style. The 8” travel Yakuza downhill frame used on the Kumicho and Sohon Bucho features details found on higher end dh bikes, such as an 83mm bb shell and 150X12mm hub, combined with our single pivot rps suspension system to give you confidence at speed and over the nastiest of terrain. The 7” travel Yakuza freeride frame found on the Ojiki and Aniki models features our cps suspension system to soak up the big hits but still allowing you to pedal back up that next climb. Finally, the Yakuza hardtail featured on the Chimpira is among one of the most versatile hardtails on the market; burly, stiff, and nimble it is perfect for deep woods jumps and hucks. Of course, all of our Yakuza frames feature 1.5” headtubes for strength and compatibility as well as replaceable hangers just in case you come up short on that next landing. (R.P.S.) REARWARD PIVOT SYSTEM Our distinctive looking rearward pivot system (r.p.s.) is much more than a new look for single pivot bicycle designs, its a revolution in performance. This system was developed in part as a result of Iron Horse’s world cup and world championship winning downhill program. First debuted on the Yakuza Kumicho downhill platform, it has now migrated across the line of full suspension offerings from Iron Horse. The system features an improved pedaling response over other single pivot systems, along with great bump sensitivity, and low pedal feedback on the big hits. FRAME 8" TRAVEL DUAL SUSPENSION SINGLE PIVOT W/ SEALED BEARINGS, 1.5 HEADTUBE, REPLACEABLE DERAILLEUR HANGER, INTERNATIONAL DISC BRAKE MOUNT, 150MM X 12MM THRU AXLE, 83MM BB SHELL, ISCG05 CHAIN GUIDE MOUNT REAR SHOCK FOX VAN R 8.75" X 2.75" FORK MARZOCCHI SUPER T RV, 185MM TRAVEL

from Grand Junction, Colorado, USA Date Reviewed: December 8, 2011 Strengths: Overall durability, I love it. Feels great all around, even with the weight. Takes off as soon as you hit any kind of slope, no pedaling practically. Heavy duty, no doubt. Weaknesses: Suspension and Shifting. My bike ghost shifted like crazy so I had a friend help me out and tune it up, ended up changing the set up, no problem now. I'm a crazy light rider, not even 135lbs and I can bottom out the suspension pretty easy, i bumped up to a heavy duty coil in the rear and still could bottom out (broke my seat.) Replaced the front forks with some 888's and it's even better now. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pucker Up Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $1600.00 Purchased At: Ruby Canyon Cycles
