Sunn downhill carbon concept

[C0na]

Looks, Interesting..

Sunn is back in the game, and showing off their downhill carbon concept bike at Roc d’Azur. They weren’t giving much away with just the bike on display under their ‘Unstoppable’ logo.

With twin discs up front we’re guessing that’s not entirely true.

Here’s the photo’s of the bike until we get more information on what they’re up to…

Holy fuckballs, that's easily the most undesirable bike I've ever seen.

Imagine the flex on that rear swing arm. Whomever designed that seat/junction has never ridden a bike. Its almost like they forgot to put a seat on, so they got a bottle cage and a saddle and bolted it to the top-tube hahaha

It was designed in collaboration with Specialized and Cannondale, rumour has it that by 2016 there will be a bike that only has one side.

One side as in fork and swing arm? That would be interesting. I'd like to see how they manage the drive train and rear brake on that setup.


I think the double disc on the front is a bit of a joke. I'm yet to ride a bike where a single disc can't lock the wheel in an instant nor can it be used to effectively modulate speed - and some of my older rides have been better part of 20kg with me an extra 100kg on top of that. The silliness of it is only even more remarkable when double-disc is added to a lightweight frame.

A swing and a miss...

Ah, yeah, That is a single-sided swing arm.


Fuck you all, it's Friday.

I'm trying to think of a downhill bike from the last 15 years that is less attractive than that and so far cannot come up with any that get close.

Geez, you haven't tried very hard. There's a large list of them.

I reckon thats on par

It looks like it has the worst geometry too but that could be a illusion, id hope it does at least have good geometry for the few people who actually want it.. Really collaboration with spec and cannondale, three well known brands and they come up with this piece.....interesting.

Oh and, What are those rotors doing on that bike? Its downhill bike.
It cant be weight because they decided to add a duel brake up front.....

 

[Ezkaton]

Yeah this bike is what happens when you allow a cocktail of drugs to sit in the design room.

I wasn't being serious, just poking fun at it's single rear swing arm, Cannondale's leftie fork and Specialize's asymmetrical frame.
