New Honda RN01?! Seriously, just saw it in person!
Long time reader, first time poster.
Check this out. Yesterday I was downhilling at the Keystone bike park in Colorado USA and a big Honda bus pulled in and started setting up. A few hours later a Tomac truck pulled in. The Honda guys unloaded what looked like a new version of the Honda bike that Greg Minnaar rode in the World Cups. Three of them spent the rest of the day riding the bike at the park. Is it possible that we could FINALLY see the Honda bike finally come to market with Tomac badging? The bike looks almost production ready, with a really finished looking gear box and a more developed frame. It still looks cooler than any DH bike I have ever seen. Seriously.

Wow, that's some big time scoop.
I thought the Honda downhill bike was gone for ever!!! This would really shake some shit up for the good - especially if the original rumors of Honda mass-producing a low cost & low maintenance DH rig, came true. |

Like I just posted under the article, some blokes had a similar even more low key set up going in Whistler last summer.

I heard from my friend that works at the resort that they are still out at the bike park today! I am going to check it out in a little bit and see if I can talk to them. And it was indeed Tomac and Honda. I recognized the owner of Tomac out there from a Bike Mag story. When I snapped the pictures they were all in the bus, so I didn’t get a chance to actually talk to anyone. More to come later!
