Serial bike customizer Gustav Gullholm aka Dangerholm is again with one other idea bike challenge, this time reimagining Scott’s newest Genius ST as the way forward for all-mountain bikes. No seen cables, wires, or suspension. An upside-down fork and the return of chromed-out wheels. My solely reservation is the possible additional weight of all that sand-colored creamy Ivory paint, when it may have been uncooked carbon. Oh Dangerholm, what has grow to be of your weight weenie methods?
Scott Genius ST x Dangerholm all-mountain bike of the long run?
Swedish bike tweaker Dangerholm’s newest {custom} MTB challenge is “his imaginative and prescient of how the mountain bike of the long run may look”. Beginning with the already boldly futuristic Genius Tremendous Path, Dangerholm constructed one of many sleekest path bikes ever. 150mm of 29er rear wheel journey – with 3 ride-proven Open-Traction-Climb compression & journey lock-out settings – paired to 160mm of journey up entrance.
Will the way forward for mountain bikes cover all shocks contained in the body? Will they cover brake strains within the bars, too? The whole lot routed via the headset, actually? Tiny Zirbel thumb shifters & dropper remotes that nearly disappear into the grip lock-rings.
In fact, there shall be extra wi-fi digital parts, however I can solely hope a few of these cumbersome batteries may get hidden too. I believe we additionally aren’t going to have the ability to keep away from the one-piece cockpits which can be making an attempt to make separate bar & stems a factor of the previous.
Futuristic requirements?
A number of welcome adjustments have grow to be the trendy norm. Lengthy journey dropper seatposts. Light-weight 4-piston brakes. And an truly common derailleur mounting commonplace.
I’m not so positive if there shall be a resurgence of bar-end/downtube shifters to actuate varied shock lock-out modes. However who am I to say for positive? Ceramic bearings and Strong Lube Tech bearings anyplace doable are certainly right here to remain.
No less than we will all hope that the way forward for mountain bikes will see the return of extra shiny silver (alloy) wheels and spokes. The whole lot all the time in matte black on black is getting a bit stale, am I proper?
Tremendous {custom} particulars!
On an in any other case cheap {custom} construct… properly, apart from the lust-worthy Intend Hero upside-down fork and hard-to-get Trickstuff Piccola HD brakes! Dangerholm nonetheless manages to sneak some foolish over-the-top upgrades in there, too. As if a SRAM X0 T-type derailleur wasn’t fancy sufficient, this one has a number of of its modular alloy parts changed with {custom} Hopp Carbon upgrades. And naturally a CeramicSpeed OSPW X cage improve for improved aerodynamics and lowered drag. Why not, when cash is not any object?
He additionally sneaks in a brand new Dangerholm-branded 1x machined RadoxX chainring that’s being bought via his r2-bike.com on-line retailer companion.
And custom-made, however now commercially out there, ultralight METI titanium brake bolts.
My weight-conscious sensibilities are a bit frightened about all that additional paint, although. Everyone knows that it takes extra light-colored paint to cowl up the darkish uncooked black carbon fiber. So possibly there’s some justification to nonetheless going tremendous stealth with our {custom} bike builds in spite of everything!
