More JET pictures

Ryan from Niner was kind enough to forward me some shots of the new beast at Sea Otter.
The bike as pictured weighs 22.99lbs, pretty impressive, despite the high zoot components.
I have been told that we'll be seeing these in August, which is much too long to wait for!
I want one now!


I love the machined and anodized hardware. This is the upper rocker assembly...

...and the lower.

I'm interested to see if the bushings will provide the same lateral stiffness that the RIP has. The RIP has bearings, and each of it's rockers feature stiffening brace. The pivot axles are stepped too, and the RIP has no lateral flex or wind up at all.

I remember that my old bushing generation Ellsworth Truth had no cross member either (the newer bearing one does). I don't remember there ever being any lateral flex on that bike.

Needless to say, the JET has many compelling attributes. I am most anxious to see how this bike performs on the trail.
