Autobots- roll out. Hydra Prime. Finally shipping!

[reed scott]

Awe come on @reed scott just think of how smooth this ride would be on those rocks you call roads in the backyard you got! Congratulations to @pushkar for the new “Hydra Prime”! Though I prefer to call my configurations the “Fat Hydra” and “Hydra 29’er”...

Fair enough. But fat is just not beautiful to me.

Ok so I'm a bigot about bikes.

We need to get a pic up asap with 'normal' tires. Fat tire enthusiasts are excited about this first bike but the rest of us are very hungry to see something more 'balanced' and proportional.

I’m with you! I want to see what this bad boy looks like with the 27.5X3.0 setup. Plus it’s going to be faster than the fat bike.

Best of luck !

Looks are one thing, but have you ever ridden one?
My thoughts are 3" looks better, but 4" plus feels better, everybody says those tires are great for soaking up bumps.
Choices, looks or a cushy ride ?
I was watching a non-suspension front or back fatty doing huge jumps and the tires absorbing all the hits, it was really cool.
There is an EBR member that has a 1st Gen WW full suspension titanium frame with fatties, he said it's amazingly comfortable.
Potholes, run right over them no problems at all.

I know this is in the loks category but our bikes are definitely beyond the legal parameters and the less they look like a traditional Ebikes the more attention I will get riding on local trails and I really want to stay under the radar.

Anyone actually take delivery of a bike yet?
