It's not for sale just yet, but Bas van Steenbergen has been shredding his proto-production Hyper DH sled for the past couple of months, and he's down in Queenstown putting it through the wringer. After seeing his phone edits on Instagram, we asked if he'd be up for a bike check to give the people a better look at the bike.
From what we can see, it's slack and low and ready to go. Bas enjoys how balanced and stable it feels, which makes sense as he was able to help layout the geometry of this new machine. While the uninitiated might see it as a simple suspension design, there is actually something quite interesting going on around the bottom bracket with some very stealth links compactly tucked in. Granted, Bas is an exceptional rider with broad abilities, but after watching him ride it in person as we cruised to the different shooting spots, we had to give it a hoon. Check it out!
