HAHAHAHA, man I'd love to ride that thing Adrenaline bikes says that they also have 14' fork to compliment the the frame but flying smurf reccomends the super monster (https://www.mtbr.com/dream/bikes/20342.html ) So has anybody ever ridden something like this? What would be the real downside to bike like that (just the pedalling?).

What would be the real downside to bike like that

The 24" BB height

 

[zedro]

well, you'll have an insanely high BB height for one thing, probably handles pretty poorly in 14" mode. Also that thing uses a pull shock...yuck...

I think that a 14" bike is no to be pedal... is just to go and breake some new record in a huge drop , jump or gap....RedBull stuff..

A guy in town has one of those.

I felt guilty when I took him down a nasty trail that caused the RockSh*t rear shock to blow up...

9"-11" travel with 2.0" stroke shock and 11"-14"
travel with 2.75" stroke shock

5:1...ahahahahahaha!

The company is GSR, it's like "Ghaletto Speed Research" or something...

Sounds too much like "ghetto" though..

Hey, whats wrong with my pull shock

 

[DJrider04]

Pullshocks own

 

[Whafe]

Pull shocks stunt your growth, so they say........................

 

[MTBsSd]

what kinda HA does this thing have to be designed for a 12' travel fork??

7" boxxer is what it was designed to use.

My pull shock rules










































Its at rs being rebuilt as we speak

Jm, an RS shock dies & you felt guilty?.....NOT!

C'mon Jm, you're stretching the bounds of reality...LOL! Five to one...no wonder.

holy ****

Well, his boxxer leaked like crazy, but at least you can still fill that with oil and it will only kill the performance of the brake...

The rear shock on the other hand is done for good when it does that

 

[BJ-]

um...

no pull shocks are not kool...just like romics...there bad...

so...that would be ur bad...

??? GSR offers a 14' fork that they sell with the bike. Would't that shear ur top tube like what happend to VIA?

 

[Moriority]

My dirtbike has less travel. I think it would be too squishy to ride fast. And the leverage ratio sucks. It would need a 5 inch stroke shock to work right. Are you sure GSR doesn't stand for Goofy Suspension Research. Or Gehtto Suspesnion Rigs?

 

[MTBsSd]

I like the second option

 

[SanAnMan]

I've seen 12" front and rear

This one supposedly has 12" front and rear. It takes 2 different rear shocks in series via a funky linkage.

 

[NCBigHit]

I think thats Bender's bike from NWD2...that thing is rediculous.
