quotes voltage DH is a voltage, difference is 20mm on the back wheel, an adjustable headset and/or some offset shock bushes. scott could never justify that as their top bike. Manufacturers need to charge top dollar for the DH bikes, the top of the line. Your product range wont work if the top of the line is cheaper than your AM bike. Front triangle is very similar to a Voltage front triangle with a bracket welded on to the seat tube to suit the new shock position. The down tube location has been brought further out and curved to accept the length of a 9.5 shock. Something a voltage front triangle could not do in this position. Going by the weld seams on the rear triangle It looks like this is also aluminum. I think its a nice bike but the front and rear parts of the frame don't go, two different styles since the tubes have been borrowed from a voltage (same hydro forming shape). I´d also fit a Ball guard to that linkage setup, squinty landing after a big drop, neutered. Jokes/Cosmetics aside this bike will be very fast and looks like it should be very stable. Being all aluminum it shouldnt be mental money either.

quotes The Orange road bike frame is the same as a Ribble stealth's, same as a de Rosa R838.

quotes http://www.nsmb.com/3859-scott-voltage-fr10-review http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/mountain/product/voltage-fr10-10-35504 http://dirt.mpora.com/news/scott-voltage-fr10.html http://bikemag.com/gallery/scott-2010-mtn-bike-products/ most of these are for the fr10 or fr20 (2010), only components are different the geometry is the same. I cant recommend this bike high enough, I love the 2010 and how it handles. IMO the geometry changes in 2011 although very small are not beneficial and miss the point of what the bike is all about. I cannot comment on how the 2011 bike performs.
