Laurence--Trials Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 -124 have just announced their latest bike, the HS33 Sky 20"! As ridden by Vincent Hermance in the 20" World Cups/Champs, this frame features a longer wheelbase (1030mm), a longer chainstay length (362mm) and a higher BB (+100mm) than the standard Sky 2 to suit Vincent's 26"-wheeled background. If you'd like to see a more in-depth interview with Vincent, check out Tribalzine's article here: http://www.tribalzine.com/?Supermance-De-retour-au-26-motive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) 150mm?! i didn't think it looked THAT long til you said. As a bike though it looks aweful! Does it look nicer in person mark? or not really? EDIT: i suppose its good they're trying new things i guess?

Mark W Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 As a 20" rider, who's come from a 26" background too i'm super interested to have a bounce on one of these Word. I used to really like longer mods, and hated the whole super short WB/short rear/high BB setup on most current mods. A few years ago I'd have been interested to give one of these a pop, but I'm resigned to the fact that mods will never feel right for me again...

tigriss Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 i used to ride a long mod (echo lite 08, 1030 BB, +60) It's good for 26" riding but i don't like the way it turns. it's too long, it's not easy to rotate and it looses all the interesting things that a mod brings. i ride a sky 2 now. still mod but 1000 BB and +95. It's just f**kin' awesome ! it's a toy that goes where ever you want ! i just won't buy a long mod anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
