Throw us a bone here...
A picture would be nice.
Some specs maybe...
ANYTHING ....
What's the point of adding 30 mm of rear end travel and changing the name of the Isis? Maybe new geometry? When will the maddness end? I think this just plays to the market of people who think more travel is better. There's too much redundancy across the range of bikes.Col said:Not sure if this is it or not but take a look at this link.

Looks like a really boring 'new' addition IMHO. *YAWN*chad1433 said:What's the point of adding 30 mm of rear end travel and changing the name of the Isis? Maybe new geometry?

Hopefully the Joker will still have the 5"/7" travel option...I'd be more inclined to get that than this new, revamped "Isis".
I heard $400 MSRP - but I have seen them priced lower. Check with Larry @ Mtn High Cyclery for sizes and prices.sugardare said:What's the aftermarket cost for the DHX?

I can live with that if the changes they make warrant getting the new bike anyway, because, hey, I'm a consumer and I love new stuff. But re-labelling the same bike as something new is just silly. I can't say that they did that for sure, but it seems like it to me. It looks like a Joker frame in the 5" travel setting. Maybe the geometry is diff.Renegade said:Unfortunately, what will probably happen is that two years from now, anyone who has warrenty issues with their isis won't be able to get replacement parts because ellsworth will pull their usual practices of no longer making parts for bikes older than two years.
Turner 5 Spot - Not meant to even compare to Truthchad1433 said:Personally, I'd like to see them change the Truth to make it more competative with the Turner 5 spot - beef it up, add an inch and refine it. But that's just me...
Yeah, I thought the same thing, it rides so nice and the 4" travel front/rear is ideal for a lot of terrain. A 5" fork up front is really nice on the drops, but the 4" fork can handle most situations and it definitely climbs better. I guess 5" is becoming standard for trailbikes, but 4" is more than enough for most areas.chad1433 said:Personally, I'd like to see them change the Truth to make it more competative with the Turner 5 spot - beef it up, add an inch and refine it.
