Hey Guys,
Just out of curiosity, I was wondering what your ideal hard edge full suspension bike consist of? (I am talking a high-end bike with a price tag around what a Stealth costs.) This would be a downhill style bike.
I do not want to hear "20,000 watts, 200 mile range, and $1,000 price". I want realistic suggestions. :wink:
First of all, for the sake of argument, I assume it would be a monocoque/box frame. But, would your ideal frame be aluminum or steel? Chromoly maybe?
How about forks?
Suspension travel?
Wattage? (let's be realistic)
Brakes?
Seat style (bike seat versus motocross style seat)?
On-board charging, or off board charging to save weight?
How about range (remember, higher range means more weight and higher cost in batteries)?
Would you prefer performance, or range?
I am wondering what the market is specifically. I know, in general, what the market is. But, I want some specifics.
If you could design your own bike with realistic goals and attainable performance (not vaporware, unobtainium stuff), what would it be?
Let's dream, here! I know you have all dreamed of your ideal full suspension dirt bike. So, what would it be?
