Ya the price tag is stupid in Canada. they are 30 to 35 percent cheaper in the states even when the CD dollar was on par with the US dollar. Its cause the distributor in Canada just got the contract in like the past year and represents a bunch of high end but low volume of sales companies so they don't move enough product to get a good contract to keep the prices low. Lama cycle. like in the states and Canada to get a orange Frame set is like 4000 and to get a izimu DH is 2100 in the states. oh the Izimu is the one below the Makulu and it was the original Top DH rig by morewood. The Makulu is all new for 2009. http://www.lamacycles.com/en/s.php?s=108100958 Oh and one more thing PoussMouss is right it is not really like a Commecal. for starters its lower and would handle a little better. Just kidding all bikes have their pro's and con's. But seriously The commecal uses a thrust link like design similar to the old RMX. Where the link is attached to the shock on a pivot and moved by another link attached to the rear triangle that would be thrusted into the shock link and compresses it. The linkage on the morewood is similar but it is actually the inverse of this concept. There is still a link that is attached to the shock and the front triangle that compresses the shock but instead of being pushed by a thrust link it is a pulled by a link attached to the rear triangle. This is what i can gather from photos i have still not yet seen one in person. But keep in mind both design are still low single pivots with a linkage to activate the shock it does not change the path of the rear triangle but it does change leverage ratios and shock rates. Oh and i think it is awesome they are going to have a world cup team. I have been riding on morewoods for 4 years now and i absolutely love them. Simplicity really does work. Oh and you can build them stupidly light. My 2008 Izimu weighs in at 37 pounds even with a super heavy set of shimano clips (600grams)

OK this was the most painful movie to watch all the way through although you did finally start using a tripod and there were some good shots the movie was 3 times too long because watching the same angle on each rider 3 to 5 times over at each location is just fucking bad like come on seriously its good riding some of it and it was just being killed by whoever edited it like it was painful. my next big problem with this movie is once again dragging it on but making you and the riders look bad at the same time cause to me it just looked like you were trying to use every minute of film you took. Like the casing, the landings to flat, the rear wheel first when you could see the rider didn't want to land like that, the tabling and hipping and whipping in the wrong direction in terms of the landing or the corner after that landing and everyone has done it in their life it happens but why did you not edit it out and save the rider and the viewer of having to watch that. it could have been good but it was a far cry from good.

Well given the fact its a Demo frame and he is running a coil in the rear like most pro's it's probably in the high 30's like 38 pounds because the demo frame no matter what you do to it basically has two entirely useless pieces of linkage because it is 5mm away from being a single pivot because they placed the axle on the large outer linkage and the suspension on a small inner single pivot triangle and the only thing separating the two is a pivot between the axle and the inner triangle. Anyway back to the weight he also is running minions which isn't a bad tire, hell i got a stock pile of them at home but if you want to cut down on weight the place to do it is with tire choice a set of Highroller super-tackies will save nearly a pound and half in weight compared to the minions he is running.

So just to clarify something that has been pissing me off for a couple years now when someone says he is on codes or the new codes or he is back to codes Your getting really wrong. He has never been on a stock set of codes since he switched to Avid he first had a Set of Juicy 7's for a sort time then it was a Ultimate master cylinder (the thing hang on your bars) attached to a normal Juicy 7 caliper(the thing that clamps down on the disc to stop you) for the strength and stopping power. Then as soon as the code was in testing or a sort time after he ran a code caliper control by a Ultimate master cylinder and he has been on that ever since.
