PaRtZ Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 You always go "Or you could turn that frame upside down and have a super high BB" and an inward rake on the forks i think he said that ^^ about the zenith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSuave Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 looks the like the dirty love child of an orange 222 and a sarcen x-ess!!!! the new belay is better but fair play to koxx for continuing to push boundries and dabble in new ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ra964 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 the distance between the bb and the back axle (aka chainstay) is like minimal and the bb looks like +80/+90 so say buhbuy to gapping and drops, because the only thing your going to do is fall backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Einstein Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 looks the like the dirty love child of an orange 222 and a sarcen x-ess!!!! There isn't much new in cycling, most things are [cliche] evolution rather than revolution [/cliche]I quite like it as a frame and it reminds me of a full suspension Orange bike of a friend of mine (not sure on the model, possibly the one you mentioned).the new belay is better but fair play to koxx for continuing to push boundries and dabble in new ideas New ideas. Hmm, that depends how far you look...1991not 1891, but somewhere between 1877 and 1885... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I don't give a crap about the frame, but I'm disgusted at Koxx for releasing such aweful photos of a new product! Bloody hell im blind!!!Looks like a nice frame though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutty Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Advances in trials are good, but i have to say ide rather have a bike that looked like a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 sorry but anyone who buys that is a complete retard imo,they would just be gettting it for the bragging rights. No one in their right mind would buy that becasue its a good ride or a sensible purchase.oh my god seriously, i can't actually put what i want into words but yeh...if only i had a time machine and could go back and get the author of the bible to officially make that frame a sin.11th commandment: Thou shalt not create such a seizure inducing peice of lame.

No one in their right mind would buy that becasue its a good ride or a sensible purchase.I'm pretty sure thats the reason most people buy a bike. And why are you making judgements on it... for all you know it could be such an amazingly nice bike to ride, if it rides well it doesn't matter what it looks like. I personally think mod bikes look stupid but i don't complain about them and i will freely admit that some mod bikes ride realy nicely.

justfuzzit Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 That is pretty Sweet looking. I would definiely want t ride that around. Looks like the BB is WAY up there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducko Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 i really dont see why people are having such a rant over a new frame design,new designs are good they help trials and trials bikes progress,its looks weird, and may have a few bad points (hose on downtube) but its diffrent and if it actually works resonably new.i say go koxx good to see some nice ideas instead of cheap rip of copys of other companys frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny B Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 looks like a bit of a rip off of the ruthless frame to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think mod bikes look stupid but i don't complain about them and i will freely admit that some mod bikes ride realy nicely.i'm not making a judgement on how it rides, it probably rides just fine, but i bet not as nice as most of the frames out at the moment, So i'm saying why would people choose it over other frames? The only reason they would is to say they've got the new koxx frame. And i know the exact type of rider who would buy it. The dude who turns up to group ride with a new part every time, but never actually rides anything.i just hate koxx in general. I've never bought any of their parts, and never would, somthing about their whole 'feel'.And the other dude, why is raping a new frame wrong? there's no point bumming it just becasue people say you should, it looks wank IMO.This is a discussion forum you know.Meh whatever.

Dan Clark Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hoses on the downtube is definately the downside of the frame, I reckon they will have to change that.Apart from that, looks pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Man I've never heard so much crap in my life! Do you guys even listen to yourselves? "i bet it rides crap" What the f**k? how can u tell without knowing the geometry? Sure you might disagree whether or not it is visually appealing but hey dont diss it till u've tried/know a little more about it!Personally I like the look and the fact that it has a disc mount makes me smile even more. Koxx hasn't put disc mounts on frames since their old Levelboss line from 2003? I run 24in so I need that disc mount (I'm running 24s on a Koxx LB 1100). It isn't a new ideia at all as has already been shown in previous posts but just a new take on it. I like the lack of chainstays for various reasons: less chain slap, allows you to have short chainstays (though not sure if that frame has CS shorter than 375mm) and personally it just looks better. But thats my opinion based on the pics. Once I know the geometry I'll be able to decide whether or not I'll save up to buy one or not.and thats my rantlater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HargrovesToby Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 hey,well all i c an say is that if koxx go "here toby, have this on us" id take it. i think it looks awsome, a new concept can only be tried and hay if its crap and falls to pieces, then its shit, but really how many of us have had koxx xtp and the likes and they have fallen apart...?? certainly not mei really like it and hey if it ever goes on the market, then i might get one....toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towler Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I think it looks pritty cool, wonder what the geo is!!! could always tie,tape or zip tie the magura cable so it goes on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 dont like it, they have ruined it by making the bb so high, it kinda looks like a bar with wheels rather than a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
