Nothing like a 6.5" travel single speed...

No chain growth, pretty damn cool.

 

That's my kind of singlespeed right there!

 

I gotta question how efficient that would be as a SS.

 

Just rub it a little, it'll happen.

 

Lube it first....

 

What am I missing???There's a rear cassette and derailler

 

The main pivot shares its axis-point with the bottom bracket, which means you can also run the bike singlespeed.

Seriously. It better have some lockout capability.

It might seem more attractive if it was more like a trail bike. Even a shorter-travel 9er would be more interesting than this crazy thing. It's trying too hard to be everything IMO.

 

Lens has been making the Milkmoney for years. But that is 3-4” of travel. And even that seems like a lot of rear travel....lock out or not.

I could see this as something that the slope style guys would dig....but 6.5” of travel is way too much for even them.

It seems to fit into a category that doesn’t have a need.

 

To the best of my knowledge DVO does not have lockout capability on any of their products.
