Ok, I will confess that I am not up to speed on this bike but a quick google made me realize the cool factor here.
1. Tara Llanes once rode these.
2. It looks like the main pivot rotates around the BB? How cool is that? Granted it’s still “just a single pivot”, but very cool! Only a couple other bikes came with this setup, the Lenz Sport Milkmoney and the Kona A. One other bike that did that was the Schwinn Rocket 88, which I consider the granddaddy of all the short dual link bikes (VPP/dw-link) that are all the rage today.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking single pivot bikes. They have been around a long time, they can be really robust, and when done right they can work really well. I will have to read up on the Rotec more, as it seems to be pretty darn cool. I used to own a Storm H2 DH bike back in the very early 2000’s. I just don’t have the cajones to ride a DH bike the way it should be.
