Ha. So they have finally admitted that tiny shocks on 10" bikes is a bad idea.
Looks really nice, not as curvy as the old one, which is a good thing. The sooner bikes start having straight tubes again the better.

Is a 2.75"stroke shock now considered 'tiny'?

Depends on the bikes travel? Unless I remember incorrectly my Uzzi will have a 2.75" stroke on it's shock (with 7" of travel).
If Intense ever get's around to sending it to me that is.

You work for the UCI, don't you... 😉
Is a 2.75"stroke shock now considered 'tiny'?
It is when it results in a 3.64:1 leverage ratio! The start of travel ratio is even more ridiculous, my mates old one sagged about an inch under its own weight...
Give me 3" stroke for 8" travel any day. And I'm light - can the pastry positive actually get springs that will work on a V10?
Darn it I want a Carbon Chameleon!
That is a thing of beauty!
Looks strangely like a long travel Top Fuel!
Great looking bike, much less 'clumsy' than so many DH bikes.
A twitpic from Peaty, this is the one he's been testing the past few days. Note the coil on this one...
