How to make a single pivot bike heavy and complicated.0

Don't care what people think (oh yeah), I really like the look of Sunn Bikes - not to be confused with Sun Bike frames.
The prices are pretty high, though your getting exclusivity too I suppose...Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -

Another vote for the hardtail, really gorgeous, but not 5K gorgeous. For that money I've got to be able to have sex with it.My Amp Goes Up to Eleven

really like that first FS bike , looks mustard.
wot tyres it running ? , treads look immense 0 -
Prices are ludicrous but i really like the look of them. They look a little similar to Commencal`s infact i`m sure Max Commencal had something to do with Sunn a few years back.0

They do look very nice, I'm a real fan of hardtails. I don't think the wife would appreciate the price tag!Only the strong survive.... Keep low move fast0

The Prim Ti is mega expensive. The is a frame only option for about £1300 though which is reasonable. Who'd want all that SRAM stuff anyway?
The aluminium Prim frames weigh about the same as the ti and come in 3 built options, the S1 at £1700, the S2 at £1100 and the S3 at £760. Geometry of Sunn's hardtails is mega-good, they ride just beautifully - I've owned an Exact for the last 6 years and despite having Giant, Kona and GT accounts, can't find a hardtail I prefer.
There's my Exact,
And here's the 2010 Prim S2

It's a render, a computer generated image, not a photograph. The over done shading on the tyre tread makes it look really beefy, but CGI is often not correct in the little details. Take a look at the actual photo posted by Steve_b77 above...Xtreem wrote:0 -

I was just imagining how great would have been if that kind of tires were fitted.0

Hardtail not bad looking certainly not 5 grand worth though.So Far!0

You don't know what you are talking about. at 10lbs for the frame, their are many lighter. GT Fury is 8.7lbs.
But the point was the sus system is overly complicated and adds weight for little benefit over a standard canti arm and rocker.0 -

just out of curiosity, isn't that a horst link style thingy next to the rear axle, rather than a single pivot + linkage?Rock Lobster 853, Trek 1200 and a very old, tired and loved Apollo Javelin.0 -
It really looks it, and I think it is designed to look that way - but the wheel can only arc round that big main pivot.
All that gubbins and chainstay pivot are to actuate the shock. The claimed benefits are a rising rate and increased stiffness, but you can see why I say it is complicated for what is a monopivot design!0 -
good point, should've spotted that- wasn't looking carefully enough for the way the linkages ran! interesting though, why should it be much heavier than some other linkage driven single pivot- looks not unlike the system on the commencal or the orange st4, just the other way up- extra pivots at the back and the need to split the seat tube seem to be the only complications from that standpoint. I wouldn't want to have to keep the bearings clean though!Rock Lobster 853, Trek 1200 and a very old, tired and loved Apollo Javelin.0

Good enough for vouliooliuooios is good enough for me. I always wanted to have a go on the DH bikes he had just before he moved to c'dale. Damn fine.
£5k for a bike isn't hard to get to my shockwave is worth over that, not least cos of the £2k forks...SOLD!0
