    I thought DH bikes had slacker geometry than that.

    Its what a bike does when you stupidly upset it by calling it a rig instead, it curls up like a hedgehog in defence.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    The problem there is that's not a DH frame. It looks like a Bottlerocket frame, designed for 150mm forks not 200mm dual crowns.

    I think that the guy on the left is wearing different trousers on the left leg from the right. Other people seem to be more symmetric I'm glad to report.

    ...on closer inspection the guy / girl on the right may be sharing this new couture.

    Was thinking the same, it's no tr500 frame.

    Surprised it only folded up and didn't snap off at the head tube.

    It's gone at the two weak points. Once the tubes deformed all strength was gone and it was only going to fold.
