Hmm was watching Channel 5's Top Trumps this week and they featured the Bowler Nemesis. Fantastic, true 4x4 - and then some!

The thing that strikes me about it is the construction. Obvious rollcages and such, but with a newer material for the shell called Twin-tex. This stuff looks amazing - if they're not already using this stuff for sports armour then they should consider trying it. The guy, as badly as he tried LOL, couldnt put a scratch in the stuff with a 1kg lump hammer. (You can watch the repeat on the C5 site btw - its a good show)
I'd also LOVE to see a trike manufacturer build one with a twin-tex shell for aerodynamics. The frame itself of normal bikes could also be an interesting possibility.
Unless (as usual) I'm well behind and someone is already making bike gear out of this stuff.
