sorry, but i have never seen an uglier frame like these promoted on the homepage you linked...

 

[klaus nielsen]

That might be true, you can allways discuss design. This frame was not designed to be pretty, but designed to be efficient. The function was always in first priority when this bike was designed. You should try to testride it, you would be surprised how it works. You can also check out the test i bikesportnews, the january issue.

I like the position of the rear shock, it`s unique and far removed from mud, dirt an so forth, furthermore it makes lockout lever on the shock easy acessible!

unfortunatly I culd not see eyelets for a second Bottle cage on the saddle tube - even if only an sidecage might be practikal, never the less a second one would be important for long distance tracs.

opticaly the cables inside the top tube are nice but in my opinion reqiure more work while changing shift cables.

the carbon frame is a little to extravagantly bent for my liking ( little bit like the "hydoforming -desing" - used on some spezzialiced frames - brr)

I am curius if a bent top tube witch also has to support the rear shock would not have to be rather massive an heavy - what is the frame wight of the Alu and the Carbon version?
Is there an geomety table with the length and arches in the different sizes, i could notfind it on the hp?

I would be quite intrerested in a test ride, is there an possibity near Frankfurt m. or at Willingen bike festival or the eurobike?
best regards

PS sorry for the spelling - I am not used to writing in English

It is ok, your english is way better than my german Anyway, you can check out wheight and geometri on following link. The wheights listed are without the dt carbon shock. You will need to add apx 150 grams to the frame wheigt listed. The price is inclusive damper.

Wow! I like that design
This frame and my lefty should be an eyecatcher
I´m also interested for a testride

 

[klaus nielsen]

I will be racing most of the bundesliga this summer, at most of the races there will be 1-2 demodays where new customers can testride the bikes. The demodays will later be announced in a calender on the pronghorn homepage.

 

[Haborym666]

Great!
I will be there.
I´ve seen you also build Wheelsets
Is there maybe an option for lefty and can you drive 2,25" tires?

Well, there might be pieces of mud falling off from the rider onto the damper. This won't happen with the damper inside the front triangle.

There is unfortunately no lefty option, but it is no problem to ride 2,25 tires, I am doing it myself.

The PR6-SW Carbon-XC Race frame looks great! I like the unconventional design, and the weight, of course, is pretty good.

However, is there enough clearance for a 0,75 litre-bottle within the 16" front triangle?

Hallo Corfrimor!

Es freut mir dass unser rahmen dir gefällt. Ich glaube leider dass es knapp wird mit ein 750ml flasche in ein 16". Vielleicht würde es funktionieren mit ein flaschenhalter wo man die flasche von die seite reinschiebt?
Ich untersuchen es, und schreibt wieder.

Bis dann, Klaus Nielsen
