Inspired by the explosion in Megavalanche-style Enduro DH events and evolved from a prototype that placed highly in the 2009 run of the actual event, the Mega frame is built to take the unique combinations of challenges thrown up by Enduro-style DH events and general All-Mountain adventure.
Offering 150mm rear travel and designed to match with 150-170mm forks up front the Mega is a versatile frame that combines plush descending prowess with pedalling efficiency.
Suspension-wise, the Mega uses our 'Erosion' linkage giving a smooth progressive action with a well controlled mid-stroke to avoid wallowing under pedal loads.
Main bearing pivots are contained within a bespoke CNC-machined Bottom Bracket Assembly to ensure alignment, durability and precision, while an asymmetric chainstay design gives clearance for a double front derailleur (with a 22t-36t chainring set up) and compatibility with all leading models of ISCG-05 mounted chain retention systems.
Geometry is based around a 66deg head angle and 75deg seat angle, with a BB height of 13.69” for climbing and descending prowess.
A 44mm headtube standard keeps the front of the bike light, with Nukeproof headset options allowing all fork steerer option compatibility.
The Mega is available in a choice of Anodized Black, Anodized Silver and Nukeproof Yellow finishes.
Frame Weight - Medium 6.83lb or 3.1kg (without shock)

Brendan Wins Vigo
Specialized's Brendan Fairclough Wins Vigo. The British World Cup racer has been training hard in the off-season putting in the miles on the road bike but will this all transfer easily onto the bouncy bike?
With a tail-ender preventing him from nailing a decent seeding run, Brendan has it all to play for in the final run. Will the pedaling shy pinner finally get his foot down? It certainly looks like it.

GoPro 3D Hero System
The 3D HERO System allows you to combine two 1080p HD HERO cameras into a single housing to record 3D video and photos while simultaneously recording in 2D. A synchronization cable plugs into the rear HERO Port on both cameras to join them together, enabling both cameras to record video and photos in perfect synchronization. This is a requirement for professional quality 3D and is available only from GoPro.

Greg Minnar's 2011 V-10
Steve Peat and Josh Bryceland have just taken possession of their new SRAM/RockShox equipped Santa Cruz Carbon V-10’s with carbon Enve wheels complete with lots of slick team issue products. Next week they will be racing at the second Halo BDS round in Molfre, UK aboard their new steeds, then they will promptly jump on a plane to Pietermaritzburg, South Africa where they will be caught up in a whirlwind of activities leading up to the World Cup season opener.
They spent a day building up the new bikes and Steve remarks on the new features of the bike:
"I get excited at this time every year! The feeling of surprise as to what the guys in the art department have come up with for our new graphics is great and 2011 is no exception!!! The guys have done a killer job yet again. Good old Dougie "Hatrick” Hatfield stuck most of the bike together and myself and Josh had a bit of fun putting the last bits on to see the whole bike. It then needed to be sent of to Ricky Bobby for a final race prep tune and to tighten all the bolts I had missed....ha,ha. She will be back with me soon for her maiden voyage....can’t wait as the whole thing looks awesome."
Once the Syndicate lands in South Africa they will head to Pietermaritzburg for a couple of days of photo shoots with Gary “Flipper” Perkin for Santa Cruz, then the True Collection activities start with other True Athletes Cedric Gracia, and extreme mountain skier and base jumper JT Holmes in tow. Greg is eager to see his “Syndicate Family” again and says, “I’m looking forward to being a part of the Syndicate again, and the family reunion is here at my home. There is a lot going on with the True Collection and one of the things I'm really looking forward to is meeting up with JT Holmes to do a parachute drop into the World Cup! The GM/True Athlete fan club has taken some work but is looking very good....exciting times!”
