Bionicon Update

I was lucky enough to run into Mic from Bionicon last week. He says hello. He also had with him their new big daddy freeride rig, the Bionicon Ironwood. It's a super cool bike. 38lbs as it sits. The bike is a burly 8" freeride bike, but has adjustable geometry so you can steepen the head angle for climbing


and slack it out for dh.
I also was really into the simplicity and the rigidity of the front axle (a dedicate hub/axle for their Special Agent freeride fork).

Not to mention the clean welds and excellent machine work. And this is a production version, too.


I'm eager to see the new Bionicon Supershuttle, but there's only 1 around right now. Hopefully we'll get to throw a leg over this new 30lb 6" travel bike soon. If anyone is interested in Bionicon, let me know. It's also likely that Mic will be out here with some demos at Lyons Fat Tire fest this May.
