I have ridden a Rose Unchained. Great ride, amazing for the price. Not as linear rear suspension as most German bikes.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Not at all. A good downhill bike is very fast, they build speed over rough ground at a scary rate. Corner grip can be quite impressive and when they let go its very progressive and controlable.
They only really work properly when you are riding fast, then they just come alive and give you an ear to ear grin.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -

Contact the UK agent, he has some demo bikes, not sure if he has an unchained or not.
Their DH team riders have been doing pretty well. Two of them are regulars at Triscombe and despite some rather crazy riding and massive jumps their bikes are holding up well.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -

My two old (proper) downhill rigs:
I've had a few mini-downhill rigs too, but I won't post them. I use the Reign X in my signature for everything, it's been to france, been on numerous uplifts etc, proper good little bike, awesome for downhill and everything else.0 -
I like those old Iron Horse Sundays. They just encourage you to ride absolutely flat out.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Orange found a design which worked and stuck with it unlike those other manufacturers who come up with something new every five years.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Geometry on the old 223 was a bit questionable... rode alright though. Good for a cheap downhill bike.
The Sunday was a nice bike too, though I'm glad I have my reign instead.0 -
