Red Bull Athlete Finn Iles Takes The Cover Off The New Specialized Downhill Bike

For the last two seasons, Specialized has been developing a new downhill bike and for the last two seasons, they kept it in plain sight but conveniently covered the new linkage with a big black box. They took off that big black box at the end of the season and let us all have a look at their new design and needless to say it turned many heads.

Take a look at it in action under the skilled piloting of Finn Iles below.

Finn has been on this bike for a while and clearly is very comfortable with it, but then again how much can that say about a bike when Finn shows no problem being comfortable on anything.

But, his skill aside we are excited to see when the lid fully comes off this project because based on the patent that became available as public record last fall, this looks like it'll be a really interesting bike.
