Serial bike customizer Gustav Gullholm aka Dangerholm is again with one other idea bike venture, this time reimagining Scott’s newest Genius ST as the way forward for all-mountain bikes. No seen cables, wires, or suspension. An upside-down fork and the return of chromed-out wheels. My solely reservation is the doubtless additional weight of all that sand-colored creamy Ivory paint, when it might have been uncooked carbon. Oh Dangerholm, what has turn into of your weight weenie methods?
Scott Genius ST x Dangerholm all-mountain bike of the longer term?
Swedish bike tweaker Dangerholm’s newest {custom} MTB venture is “his imaginative and prescient of how the mountain bike of the longer term would possibly look”. Beginning with the already daringly futuristic Genius Tremendous Path, Dangerholm constructed one of many sleekest path bikes ever. 150mm of 29er rear wheel journey – with 3 ride-proven Open-Traction-Climb compression & journey lock-out settings – paired to 160mm of journey up entrance.
Will the way forward for mountain bikes conceal all shocks contained in the body? Will they conceal brake strains within the bars, too? All the pieces routed by the headset, actually? Tiny Zirbel thumb shifters & dropper remotes that just about disappear into the grip lock-rings.
In fact, there might be extra wi-fi digital parts, however I can solely hope a few of these cumbersome batteries would possibly get hidden too. I feel we additionally aren’t going to have the ability to keep away from the one-piece cockpits which are making an attempt to make separate bar & stems a factor of the previous.
Futuristic requirements?
A number of welcome adjustments have turn into the fashionable norm. Lengthy journey dropper seatposts. Light-weight 4-piston brakes. And an truly common derailleur mounting commonplace.
I’m not so positive if there might be a resurgence of bar-end/downtube shifters to actuate varied shock lock-out modes. However who am I to say for positive? Ceramic bearings and Stable Lube Tech bearings wherever doable are absolutely right here to remain.
At the least we are able to all hope that the way forward for mountain bikes will see the return of extra shiny silver (alloy) wheels and spokes. All the pieces at all times in matte black on black is getting a bit stale, am I proper?
Tremendous {custom} particulars!
On an in any other case cheap {custom} construct… properly, aside from the lust-worthy Intend Hero upside-down fork and hard-to-get Trickstuff Piccola HD brakes! Dangerholm nonetheless manages to sneak some foolish over-the-top upgrades in there, too. As if a SRAM X0 T-type derailleur wasn’t fancy sufficient, this one has a number of of its modular alloy parts changed with {custom} Hopp Carbon upgrades. And naturally a CeramicSpeed OSPW X cage improve for improved aerodynamics and diminished drag. Why not, when cash isn’t any object?
He additionally sneaks in a brand new Dangerholm-branded 1x machined RadoxX chainring that’s being offered by his r2-bike.com on-line retailer companion.
And custom-made, however now commercially obtainable, ultralight METI titanium brake bolts.
My weight-conscious sensibilities are a bit apprehensive about all that additional paint, although. Everyone knows that it takes extra light-colored paint to cowl up the darkish uncooked black carbon fiber. So possibly there’s some justification to nonetheless going tremendous stealth with our {custom} bike builds in spite of everything!
