Been about for a while, not sure I'd want to clean it. Or ride it anywhere remotely rough. Can't you get alu frames that light anyway? IIRC the coyote HT5 was about 3lb?

Stupid. Imagine how heavy it would get, with a few pounds of mud inside it?

It was done as an engineering example of the potential uses for the Isotruss design. It was never meant to be a financially viable biking success.

It ships with Lizard Skin socks for the tubes to stop the mud build up, that's got to make it weight 3.5lbs easy.

Can't say I'd want one but it's impressive from a 'look what we can do' point of view 🙂
