Let´s see what Eurobike given us this edition with the claimed 7 inch allmountain bikes offered! Get almost the whole range aviables now of this type of bikes!
Fox Shock has finally given the initial shot ...
Are 7inch travel really needed for the allmountain trails we use to ride or is something more like DH&FR runs on your own legs lift ?
Will the sag be too much when pedaling with the wheel too stuck to the ground and also less reactive bike when the track goes gnarly ?
Do you want to go faster on your skinny trails ? Why not an evolution in the opposite way like Last Bikes, less travel (5.5 inch), lower bottom bracket and around 65º headset ?
Does it means more travel being faster on the allmountian trails or just faster sales ?

So during Eurobike days I tried to give an answer to those questions, and now here you have the result.
Shown from in my opinion more hard and less facilities to go up to more facilites to go to the top, soso the way this bicycles has been built it matters on this exposure:
Trek Scratch 6.6 inch build as a freeride machine but also a good tool with an allmountian set up...
Does any one knows the brand ? (Sorry)
Spider Watch!
Would you like to performance as Chris Akrigg? Must work good on trials as well...
White-Blue Fox Float it fits well to final paint job but it doesn´t helps us in the way to the top of the hill...
This brand also has launch a gearbox system saving us any type of derailleurs
That really hurts ...
& comming from my lovely Barcelona...
A black beast...
The Firebird features now 7 inch at the front considering 6.6 inch already had at the back....
6.6 offers us this Peter Denk development and Fox way way round... Jekyll and Mr.Hide ...
Kona provides us now 7.5 inch with it´s "Magic Link". Also looks more cool than before with this slacker head angle.
The Frenchman, Karim Armour used this bike at Crankworxs Whistler in Open Canadian Enduro (4th) and Canadian Open DH being 22th. Not bad!
There will be some day a bike between Nomad and Driver 8 ? Is it really necessary.? We´ll see....
Nomad is here cause it was probably the first allmountian bike to performance like a real DH.
Anodized finish option disappears but in exchange you can get a nomad carbon.
Innovative German Bionicon people offers us now new model between Tesla 6inch and Ironwood 8inc, the new Alva 180Air or Coil witch it gives us as all Bionicon machines the possibility to change radically geometry on the fly. Plus now it also includes new hipper extension system giving to the rear shock an extra size in order to help us in our pedaling when uphill. New suspension have a claimed auto lubrication system for the bars which will make us forgot about to take care even if it´s summer or winter conditions. Interesting.
And here the brand that probably is pushing more at the moment in the marketing tools in Europe in order to make us realize about the need of 7 inch in allmountain, but with the need of their remote control which it will avoid us to have too much sag when pedaling on 7 inch. So they offer us the possibility to go to 4.3 inch at the back by one click switching on the handlebar or even to block both suspensions at the same time. maybe for this reason maybe the lyric as a choice...
Here some of the ones I couldn´t shot but I just let you know here in order to give the maximum range of view as I can to this allmountain category
Canfield Bros, maybe the first ones who got the balls to offers us mad allmountains with 8 inch travel in the past. Now looks they nailed with this indestructible new One version with 7.7inc travel and 2.5inc rearward.
Also liteville was one of the ones to offer us such amount of pedaling travell...
The new Mondraker Zenith features 6.6 inch. If Barel goes as it goes on Foxy model with 5.5 inch... does this one go faster?
The Froggy finally found 7 inch at front...
German Canyon yeah!
So hope it´s been usefull for you if you were some times thinking about this bikes could exist some day, they are allready here and I just tried to put them together so you can get your own conclusion.
In Next delivery we´ll step in the future. Stay tunned.
