look a little ugly now because its not got any paint on it yet but I'm super excited about this bike because I think it's gonna be the perfect bike for everything - well almost everything, mostly trail riding from easy to extreme.Now we didn't get the hydroformed tubesets in time for the prototype and these will make the bike look even sexier.
Alot of what we learned before and during with the Pyre has gone into the development of this bike and thanks goes out to Alex and the University of Durham for putting the Pyre through the rigors - Keith remember to bring that report when you come to Van on the 20th.
I'm really curious to see how everyone likes the "on the fly" g
The shock shows an RP23 but will come spec'd with a more linear type of shock like the Evolvers, or DHXAirs... you could jam a coil in there but with the adjustability of the Airs , for me, I don't think it would be necessary unless you had the $$ for both a coil and an air.
We wanted to run up to a 7" single crown on the bike so its got the onepointfive headtube but with the FSA headsets with reducer cups you could get away with a 1-1/8 steerer.

Pricing will be inline with what the current Pyre sells for so you can check to see what the shops are selling those for and it'll get you a good idea of what these will go for.
The colors of the frames are not indicative of what they will be but kind of give you an idea. We will have a Team issue that I'm really want to see how it turns out. Currently we're looking at doing an all black ano with gold pivot and black rockers, an all gold ano with black rockers and pivot, a white with gold pivot and black rockers, and lastly the polished aluminum with black front team model.
Well thats it from me sports fans. I'll put up more pics as they become available.

nice the future of this baby baby should be nice !!
I really start to think I should sell my scratch and get myself more involve on a do it all bike!!
and this one would be the one
That's GREAT! And, honestly, I really like the "no paint" look. Congratulations to all you guys!
Looks promising! What about a Roco Air option? The 2007 model was quite linear, and the 2008 lineup has more options (WC with piggyback, TST, ...)
Nice style, maybe with ROCCO TST will be very good for Rune...
We liked the color also and the RUNE logo too...
Let´s get a trail to test...ehheheh
It looks like they don't make the Rocco air in a 200x57 but yes the TST does come in this size.
From what i've seen, the 2008 Roco Air RC WC, TST-R, Air-R w/piggyback all come in a 200x57.
The only 08 Roco Air shock that doesn't is the Roco 3PL

You've made my gf's day! She's been drooling over the FEA drawings for a long time now. I hope she doesn't thrash her Norco to peices before we can buy one.
I really like it too. can't wait to see it built and compared to the Pyre. Is the slender-looking shackle going to stand up?
We're doing a demo day with ON TOP bike shop... I'll put details up soon, but I think its on the 30th of June. I'm pretty sure we'll have a Rune, Wildcard, and Rampant prototypes for people to try. Hopefully I can get them here in time.
Demo day sounds good, although I don't know if I would want to demo one of the newer bikes... they might make my Pyre feel outdated! But in all seriousness, the pictures with the paintjobs and formed tubing look great.
i wonder if this bike too has the old problem of the rear suspention that hits against the seat tube.
I'll take a raw one please.
they look awesome, when will i be able to get one in the uk?
what is the shock length?
2.25" (stroke) x7.785" (I2I)
is it 7.785" or 7.875"?
Sorry, typo! 7.875" (standard size)
