Interbike 2008

Interbike has started, and this was the first thing Ben and I have wanted to see......

The 303R

This is an 8" rear travel DH bike that is similar to the regular 303 DH.

Some of the key features of the 303r:
-just under 11 lbs (frame and shock)
-one linear rail saves weight over the 303 DH, but with the same leverage ratio
-little lower price point
-shorter chain stays
-adjustable geometry with eccentric at the shock mount (changes head tube angle, and bb height)
-super stiff rear end



Could these soon be seen under Ben/Rhino racing for laughs in downhill races in 2009?
The answer is......a solid maybe!
