Good looking full suss bikes?

Obviously this is a post a pic of your bike thread, cause most people like the look of their bike? So here you go:

That’s gopping

Orange are still ugly though 😉

Honus

That’s gopping

Well you're welcome to your opinion.

i think the Scott Spark FS bike design is possibly the nicest looking FS design  ever.

That’s gopping

For the sake of balance, I think it looks ace. 

I like the older Specialized Epic design, with the shock partially hidden in the top tube. My Occam is similar. The Trek Supercaliber takes it to the extreme.

There's also this..

That DH bike I was musing about in the What bike in 2024, thread?

This. (mine will be a different spec and colour though)

Or this

Or this

I think Bird make good looking bikes (apart from the carbon Aether). Not the most flattering photo of mine.

I'm not such a fan of the look of my Orbea

Cotic, Raaw, Privateer, Deviate always look good.

It's all subjective though isn't it, I think some of the Orange bikes I see look awful.

It looks like a wax mould which got left in the sun a bit too long.
I think it is hard for full sus bikes to look particularly good. The suspension and, on many designs, the rear triangle being offset are going to make it look worse than a hardtail with a line going all the way from headtube to cassette.

I was going to say the same.

That Spark doesn't do a thing for me 🤷

That spark looks like an ugly hardtail.

If I'm going to have an ugly FS, I at least want it to look like a FS

I'm quite partial to my Mach4SL.

I always had a thing for one of these. I’m sure it would have been awful, but they looked so good. Especially in the flame paint job.

If we delve into the realms of DH bikes, this....

The Void isn't bad either when you look at the continuation of the top tube into the seat stays

The only one above, in my opinion, that is anything better than 'just about palatable' is the Stanton, which is a bonny bike. The Scott is clearly colour dependant.

Sorry Fathomer, it's close but the bend on the swing arm has always spoiled those. Mashr's also isn't terrible but reminds me of any number of bikes around 2010.

Starlings are even worse than Orange. It's basically exactly the same bike but in the wrong material.

I like that Airdrop MX up there. Probably why it's on my shortlist.

Scor make some handsome bikes.

I replied before some of the replies as that Pivot isn't at all bad, neither is the Void. Scor is nearly there but the seat tube angle spoils it.

Just for clarification, my OP was about currently available bikes, not old ones.

Occam

Supercaliber

Occam

Anything with a bent top tube automatically qualifies as ugly, sorry

Supercaliber

Also gopping

General rule:

a seat stay that is parallel to, and ideally appears as a continuation of, the top tube - good

Overly curvy/hydroformed tubes - nah

Edit: that Occam has both. The top tube line is not enough to overcome the bendy, and hence: it's a munter.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I really like the look of my Canyon.

Having said that I also loved the look of the raw Turner Flux it replaced...

“fothamer

Well you’re welcome to your opinion.”

And you’re welcome to an eye test, along with many others on this thread 😂 🤮

The Egerie 160 is a beaut. I also love the Starling Murmur

Most look shit tbf, do you want sexy looking or something that works?

Stage Evos did look good and I was partial to a late stage LRS frame tbf.

Also Prong? Looked pretty good, but of their time.

Reeb do a lovely fs bike...

<br />I really wanted a spur a couple of years ago but couldn’t get hold of one. The continuous top tube / seat stay line  does it for me.

The only bike in this thread that looks nice is the Spur.

The rest are mostly minging.

Reeb do a lovely fs bike

They are close, just a few squiffy bits. Far better than most other steel rotters though.

That Transition is nice - helped by the black shock/dark background too. 

Against the grain I still love the look of a single pivot Orange, always loved the Cotic FS's too. Another shout for Privateer as well just cos I've got one.

Swoopy and lovely. I replaced this with an Orange. I don't have the Orange any more, but I do have the 575.

Always liked epic evo especially in red

+1 for the Deep Sea Green Transition Spur. I will never sell mine. Looks great, rides amazingly. There's just something about that continuous line from the head tube to the rear axle plus the angular design of the frame that goes with that particular colour.

Curtis XR29 is a bit of a looker as well....

Transition get it right IMO, especially their carbon frames. Here’s mine.

Oh no. Boggin'

That Frameworks? up top is lovely and I like the Privateer and Airdrop as well (maybe some nostalgia for the older Kona bikes and Turners). That transition is proper nice as well.

But of a soft spot for Nicolai as well though it's a fine line between purposeful and a looking like explosion in a bridge factory.

Really dislike Giant, Spesh, the Orbeas and the Scotts, all snoopy and yuck and the less said about Ibis the better.

Just in case people cba to look at page 1

After not being able to get that Spur, I built up this. Definitely not as pretty as the Transition but for a SC maybe not too bad. Lack of parallelism of the seatstay and top tube is a disappointment obviously.
A big part of a bike build is understatement. No orange grips / pedals / spring.

And no swoopy / bent top tube. This applies to both full sus and hardtails.

<br />

Yeah, that Transition is It isn't it 👌

If I get another FS, I think it will actually be a Transition. Just been eyeing up this Smuggler

I want a Spur. I'll never be able to afford one, but I want one just the same. 😁

Last Tarvo Acto5 and Ra, probably the best looking I've seen in person.

Raaw look great too.

Unno looked terrible.

New smuggler looks great. Shame about the price of a frame!

I like the look of my flaremax. Not neat and tidy with external cables but I like the skinny tubes look. If only I'd been more patient and got the gloss purple one.

Depends on your aesthetic I guess. I REALLY like skinny tubes and a form follows function look, so to my eye my bike looks great.
