Mountain Cycle Shockwave 8.0 2008

Our first  New dream bike is finally arrived.  The Shockwave 8.0.  Yes the Chassis has been touched up a bit from the older model, new graphics, lighter frame weight, and a little less travel.The ride of the Shockwave is very fun, single pivot with a multi link, huge monoque design integrated with a moto inspired design.  At high speeds the feel you get is very much about control, it is a great high speed ride.  The rear  end of the Shockwave is super stiff and when making those off camber landings the bikes just eats it right up.  No worries.  Having a bit less travel than previous years makes the Shockwave a much more credible freeride bike than before.  I can't wait to get it and go explore a long all day freeride myself...   The frame is available in a brushed aluminum right now and will be available in mid February  in the states.  For more info on the frame go to www.mountaincycle.com
