Those are tubeless right?

They look rather prone to pinch flats if you ask me!

Single speed fixie as well. I wonder if those wheels come in carbon? Just quietly though, that thing is awesome!

That is so cool, and single speed to boot.
Yeah.

Now who is the rider, and that gearing......

This brakeless fixie thing has gone too far, IMO.

I bet refreshingly could still break it!?!

The rear tyre is on the wrong way.

no, it's on for better braking control, not speed.

Who'd say no to new technology and the latest trends. Isn't this just a bit over the top though?

Over-size go-anywhere fatty wheels are all good, but why the solid disks? On an MTB? That's triathlon stuff!

Dual suspension. Okay, that's nothing new, but you suspect they've removed the remote lockouts just to be .. edgy.

3 ring drive trains definitely old school; 2X10 is where's it at. We thought! But isn't cutting down to a single-speed just a bit ... excessive?

I dunno ... it's all too much of a fashion statement. I don't expect to see too many of them out there in Real World.

but it was certainly designed for a big foot..... ....
