The 2015 bike is almost totally different from the 2014. Mondraker only makes 2 carbon bikes and they both are pieces of art.
They have had some high profile guys like Brook and Ragot and Barel.
I may be wrong, but the 2015 Summum looks just like the 2014 only with 650b.
And that 2014 bike, Barel was already riding it in 2009.
I don't know, maybe it's awesome and doesn't need too be changed, (there's already a couple bikes like that on the circuit)
I'm just judging based on results, which I realize is not objective at all, but that is all I can do from behind my computer.
Are there any rumours of a new Mondraker bike?

I mean, there's never been very high profile riders on that team, if a guy like Danny moves there, I'd expect that they promised him a sexy new bike? Or maybe it's just a lot of trust and confidence from Danny's side..
With the carbon foxxy being released last year you would put money on mondraker to be atleast planning a carbon summum, whether for this season or...

If they make a new DH bike that is anything like the carbon Foxy, we're in for a treat.
Can't say where he is going, but my money is definitely on Connor not being on Kona anymore.
If you go by his Instagram he's still riding a Kona bike, a Process, for now, but he has mentioned at least twice that he doesn't have a DH bike anymore as it was left at Hafjell when he smashed himself....
I read this as yes it was left there, but also as Kona don't want to cough up for another bike when he's not going to be riding for them next year...
I reckon Neko and or Needles to Scott, Troy to Giant, Bear Claw got the boot from the big S... Hmmm
Finally, I know he is legend and all but come on, he has been hurt for the last like 5 seasons and not on one podium. He's not matt hunter, he's one of their contest guys and they are supposed to perform!!
I doubt Spesh would kick him, isn't he just about to start filming for Where The Trail Ends 2?
If it's true, that would be the stupidest thing Specialized has ever done.
And they've done a lot of stupid things.
*cough* SX Trail *cough*
beer stein = Nick Beer --> KTM: Austrian company, swiss rider, cheap, possible potential
needles = Andrew Neethling --> Scott: good teammate for Brendan, top 20 rider, might push Brendan to step up results
rag doll = Emmeline Ragot --> Norco
big horse = Cam Cole --> YT
kangaroo = Troy Brosnan --> Sram/TLD
british heart = Danny Hart --> Mondraker
Rambo (Sambo) = Sam Dale --> Sunn: he was there before, Manon needs more money
yeah = Connor Fearon --> Giant: "young up and comer", Fox clothing, Sram connection, super exciting to watch (Giant needs)
broken chain = Neko Mullaly --> Intense: 'merica!, on DVO suspension
kiwi = Sam Blenkinsop --> Norco
Do you think both Sam and Emilie Ragot will replace Bryn and Jill or will they just be added to the their team Norco International?
Replacing the team owners? I doubt it.
Maybe replacing Isak Leivsson and Lorenzo Suding (would be a shame, they're both shredders).
Also, are we sure that Emmeline will be with Blenki? All Stikman said is that she'll be with someone she's been teammates with in the past.
So it could also be with Brook on TWR

Last news:
Intense Factory Team: Jack Moir (ex bergamont) , Bernat Guardia, Ferran Jorba. Intense M16 out in february with Sram and Maxxis, NOT DVO.
His username is swag, so his life choices are already wrong, what to expect from his predictions?
In all seriousness, isn't Guardia's team called "Intense GoPro", and not "Factory Intense"?
I mean, Palmer clearly said that there would be a new Intense team , and he works closely with Intense founder Jeff Steber, so I would assume that that would be the "Intense Factory" team.
Also, with Palmer picking the riders, you bet he'd be looking for at least one American rider

Really this again, I think you should look closely again, not just 2014 with bigger wheels!
Id love it if Danny is riding a Mondraker be so sick.
Giant have just lost allot of Glory sales, bad move.
Cool to see him move on to bigger and better, but don't think that it will disrupt their sales. Giant, like Specialized, has 2 things always going for them: price-points & distribution. They are in sold in tons of shops and have the right price-points to always contribute to their success. The Big S is exact proof of this: no WC success on a Demo since 2010 but they have the #1 selling DH bike on the market. WC success does not directly equate to sales success and not having Danny Hart on their team will not damage their sales.

I will answer all your doubts, first Bernat has a strong relationship with the factory and now he is living in California. Second, There will be four intense teams worldwide: Palmer's team, Intense Factory team for all the world cups, Intense GoPro with spanish riders for the european world cups and another french team. And Finally, Swag is only a username because i don't want give more information about who i am.

*Puts on sunglasses, and moonwalks out...*
But seriously guys, I have a hard time believing that Paul Mitchell is coming back to the sport - I think Head and Shoulders is going to be where Brad ends up. Polamalu is already doing great work with them, and I think they could use some more "extreme sports" in their marketing.

Anyway, could be that the factory team will not be sponsored by DVO, but the Palmer team, that I all the time thought was the factory team since Palmer is contracted by Intense cycles, and he is not part of a organization that got sponsored by Intense.
And that 2014 bike, Barel was already riding it in 2009.

Can't wait to see where Neko goes.....
