Spotted on Cam Zink’s Facebook page, this new Hyper DH bike features the same clean lines and “reverse moto link” (Single pivot, floating shock) suspension system found on the new trail bike Hyper debuted at Sea Otter.
Cam’s bike features an XX1 front ring, proto rear derailleur (which is likely the same one Steve Smith and other Blackbox athletes have been seen sporting at DH World Cup races), and 26″ wheels.
This rampage bike is a on-off made specifically for Cam Zink. According to Eric Carter, Hyper’s Product Manager and all around legend, the planned production model will sport 27.5″ wheels – although the company is testing both options and might make a 26″ version available depending on market interest. So let them know what you think in the comments!
Since this is a prototype, the numbers aren’t set in stone, but this bike pictures has 8″ of travel, a 64 degree head angle, and a 13.5″ BB. The bike currently doesn’t offer adjustable geometry but that may change as they get closer to production. Cam’s bike is quite literally the first proto to hit the dirt. We can’t wait to see how these two perform when they touch down in Virgin, Utah for Redbull Rampage later this month!
More details and pictures as we get
them.
