no offense but if they look skeptical for mtb's, then I can't imagine one on a 2000lb mx bike or atv.

Ok then what does it go on? Those things are just as wide as a float or DHX air, just much longer.

I can't imagine a 2000lb mx bike at all. Fox has been making shocks for ATV's and dune buggies way longer than they have for bikes.

Also, I'm pretty sure they hooked up the new F-150 Raptor, so they should be fine.

the top is a quad suspension shock, the middle is their new mx rear shock, and the bottom is a truck shock damper. so, basically anything with a much longer stroke than a mountain bike.

i well aware of the fact that they also make mx suspension, sled suspension. but the picture isnt labled correctly and i thought it was ther new bike suspension. thats why i said it looked sketchy.

i thought it was pretty well indicated that it wasnt for bikes:

flag dobsteeze (Apr 19, 2009 at 13:33)
but why would they post things for stuff other then your bikes. for me id rather see ther new products for bikes rather then for mx or sleds. thats coming from a person the dosent own a dirtbike or a sled.

flag erik74 (Apr 19, 2009 at 13:36)
probably because they had it in the truck, they had display room, and figured that someone there might be into other sports like that.

flag mr-smashy (Apr 20, 2009 at 14:56)
The reason they had their non bike offerings at a bike event is because often there are people there that do more than just bike.

Correct me if I am wrong but isnt the "Custom SAINT equipped Rocky Mountain hard tail" just a BLKMRKT Mob/Riot?

flag candymuffin (Apr 19, 2009 at 9:59)
yes.
that is exactly what i was thinking!
unless rocky mountain copied it all the way down to the drop outs then i am pretty sure it's a mob/riot.

flag felixp (Apr 19, 2009 at 10:03)
should be a mob, because of a int. seat clamp
