At the Tokyo Motor Show. I have no idea what it is. Looks like a MTB,
but it has road tires. I assume the big box is some sort of transmission. http://sohc.vtec.net/news_files/1656...s_tov-0400.jpg http://sohc.vtec.net/news_files/1656...s_tov-0064.jpg http://sohc.vtec.net/news_files/1656...s_tov-0065.jpg |

this is the new honda's lethal weapon for downhill races ;-) there's a
pair of japanese pilots racing in the world cup, i suppose they will drive this wonderful toys next season the big box contains a 7 speed gearbox sometimes recumbent and downhill bikes shares some components, for example rolhoff hub: this is because a major issue for a dh rider is how not to loose the chain when dumping and jumping at 40+ mph ;-) i think slick tires are only for the show however, even it's not a bent, it's really a beauty... you can see it better he http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/phot...&keyword=honda +rn+01&Submit=Search matteo italia downhill and mtb race organizer |

I'm wondering why a downhill race bike would have a seven speed transmission? I thought it was just bombs away for those guys. You never see them pedaling up the hill. skip |
