Personally I love the way the DW link behaves on the turner's I've had. If they can bring some of that, with a British made brand to get behind, at a sensible price (robot pricing was a bit too steep imo) then I'm all ears. Certainly excited to see what they bring to the market.

I don’t get why folk (inc Hora, of all people) on pinkbike are all saying ‘it’s just an R160’? As if a 27.5” 160mm enduro bike is the same as a 29er DH race bike...

Because people on the internet with a spreadsheet can tell you how any bike rides, the good ones can even do it from a photograph. We should respect our betters in that respect.

No ones stating how it will ride.

They're questioning the value of a product that doesn't add anything new other than being a DW link carbon bike that will be very, very expensive based on the previous robot frames - who's geometry can be customized. Very few people customize the geometry of their bikes, most will purchase off the shelf geometry. The hook seems to be "oooh 3d printed" - but to me, it just produces a bike that looks like a bamboo bike.

I don't see the point in it's existence and I don't see where it fits in the market. But maybe the Athertons will prove me wrong.

Anyone turning up to a group ride with that name on the downtube is going to need to be bloody fast, or they'll look like a right tool. 😀

To win WC DH races. Maybe sell a few of the back of that.
