Description:With the new Edison we present the fourth evolution of our original bike design. Complex hydro-formed seat stays intersect with the downtube supporting the rear shock mount whilst simultaneously ensuring that loads applied to the frame are evenly distributed. The tube profiles are constructed to allow consistent flex characteristics offering greater riding leeway and confidence.

Date Reviewed: November 12, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$2100.00 | | Purchased At: | Switchback Cyclery | | Strengths: | Adjustable geometry with the push of one button. Climbing head angle and descending head angle and spots in between.
This is the rig between the freeride Super Shuttle and the cross country Golden Willow.
Climbing is much easier on the back and you don't have to push on the front end as much if you. I actually feel less upper body strain when riding.
It is easier to breathe.
I have never had a 6" fork and this thing is smooth on the downhill. I actually have to brake more because I am not use to the speeds I am getting!!
Paul, at the company, is easy to contact. | | Weaknesses: | I got the 2006 model (demoed model) and the green stickers are kind of goofy.
Even with the bike in uphill mode, sometimes the front wheel won't stick unless I put some body weight on it. (usually when it's pretty steep) I guess I still have to use some body English, once in a while!!
But I am still adjusting to how to ride this bike.
Fork maintenance is easy but seems pretty frequent for the fork wipers. Will do this soon.
I am not sure what will happen to the air hoses if I crash!! | | Bike Setup: | Bionicon Edison 2006 with gravity dropper post. | | Bottom Line: | I am still getting the hang of it, but I know that this is the bike for me.
I hope every rider at least demos one of these bikes. They are like having 2 or 3 bikes in one!!
Will other manufacturers apply this technology to their rigs? | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
