Who makes the shock?

 

[needaride]

nice, looks alot like a moto suspension platform.. that chain guide loop thing on the chain stay is not going to work though...

 

[sockman]

Avanti D8 anyone?

 

[drivebytrucker]

they make their own shock. the whole bike is hand made by tomassi and his old man, quite literally in the basement of the house in dogtown italy. the chain guide loop has been working on this frame for years, these are just awesome machines, and the last time i played on one was about 5 years agao and it looks alot more refined now.

Rhys Willemse will be riding the new DHY at the next world champs and world cups. His racing starts this weekend at the IXS race in Pila. Rhys said the bike is so smooth and really nice to ride. Rhys is really looking forward to getting back into the world cup racing on the new 2012 DHY Ancillotti.

Thats what I thought the minute I saw it.

I'm sure it goes like a beast, But personally not a fan of the look of this bike at all

Pretty sure ancilloti have been making dh bikes from the early 90's I couldnt find all there rides but maybe avanti copied them ?

I have a real soft spot for this bike!

The scissor link design has been widely used in the past and continues to be used by most MX bikes, so it doesn't really matter.

I have ridden a couple of bikes with this design and they were both great, but all needed a custom changuide. That, and the exposed shock, are about the only negatives of the design.

spot on, the linkage that was used on the avanti d8 was invented by them in 1980 for moto`s. go here http://www.ancillotti.com/story_corpo.htm and view some of there history including a full carbon bike they built in 1993 and raced in 1994

 

[russthedog]

they look awesome, but how can you get one over here in aus? theres no distro right?

 

[evObda2]

It's not that hard to get one.. Just buy one from either an overseas distributor or direct, ship it over, then get jabbed by the 15% gov tax on top..

I'm sure this is an amazing bike, however it looks like they forgot to design in the seat and thought..."lets just wack it on here"!
Everything else on it looks well designed IMHO.

Wish him all the luck & hope he keeps injury free so he can reach his potential.

Cheers mate and yes lets hope he can stay injury free, as he hasn't had the best of luck over the last year or so.

ive tried and its not easy. seriously.

 

[wespelarno]

ive tried and its not easy. seriously.

But it is completely possible. I've done it a couple of times and if you have your heart set on a specific bike, is more than manageable.
