Super D anyone?

Project NEXT for LBL and the OG crew... a Super D bike with 6" travel. full length seat tube, front derailuer friendly, designed to use the Fox 36 Talas fork and DHX Air rear shock, 135mm rear, standard dropout with 73mm bottom bracket, 1.5 steer tube, low and long geometry. we are working on bringing it to life. In this ever evolving world of long travel "trail bikes" and the increasing popularity of longer, endurance downhill type events the need for a specific weapon if emerging and evolving from its "freeride" cousins.
For Super D you need more than a "trail bike" less than a "freeride" bike and by all means not a XC or DH bike! There are a very small hand full of vehicles out there that come close and here is out foray into this nitch market (and one I have a personal affinity for!)

I dub thee.....Project LONGBOW. Light, fast, nimble, Moto*GP floating suspension system, 6" travel, 3 sizes (S/M/L).
Colors still in the works. Maybe brown, maybe polished, maybe green, maybe black...who knows. Open to suggestions and comments. Projected US retail price for a frame kit is $2499.99 (frame/rear shock/extra hangers/t-shirt/decal pack/1lb bag custom roasted coffee).

One Ghost Industries... The Future of Downhill. NOW.
