Dartmoor SHINE: $1299 (more info on the below tab)
Full suspension frame which combines riding comfort of suspension frames with modern geometry of dirt jump hardtails. Made of butted and heat treated alu 7005 tubes. This frame makes it possible to build a very light slopestyle/dirt jumping bike which can make riding a lot of fun for amateurs and smoothens the impact caused by the biggest jumps/drops for pro riders.
BB-centric pivot and horizontal dropouts lets you run a perfect singlespeed drive. A simple and troubleless suspension design with strong linking and big bearings on the BB make the construction as stiff as the typical DJ hardtail frame. Head tube for 1.5" headsets.
Tested by Tomas Zejda. In 2010 you will see it at Scott Alleyn's slopestyle bike.
