Just to make you drool a bit

So we have been really busy here, yeah, like stupid busy. Here is a little something to show for it. First off the Factory race program's jersey (still waiting on the logo from Curve Cycling) and SPOILER ALERT The team will be riding bikes to match the jersey.





Here is the jersey we will be selling for retail. Not too flashy, not too low key, crazy colors and long sleeve.






Here is some big news, the colors for the OG Bighead headset. Still finalizing the graphics but there will be birds most likely all over the upper and lower cups.
Anodized colors are:
hot punk rock pink
Process Cyan
Deep Purple
Pumpkin Orange
Lime Green




These will be available very soon with a bad ass bike attached to them. All pre-paid bikes will get a free headset!
Get those orders in now!

How much is too much?


This is the Longbow, our Super D race bike. It is very similar to our Genken which is our Endurance D or "Euro-style" DH bike (some may call it freeride light). We are asking all of you, is 6" with a 67.5 deg. head angle and 71 deg. seat angle too much for super D?

Our Genken currently has a 66 degree head angle and a 70.5 deg. seat angle with 6.6" of travel.



Personally I was thinking the 2 bikes are too similar so I am proposing a change to the Longbow:

68.8 degree head angle 72 degree seat angle (with Fox 32 TALAS 140 at full travel)

but I want to know what all of you think. If the current geometry and travel sounds fine, we'll leave it. if you think we should go more shallow, we'll do it. Hit us up.
