Core Bike 2010: Cove G-Spot prototype

By BikeRadar

Cove's full-suspension range has reached its climax with the unveiling of the new G-Spot freeride/all-mountain rig.

This 6in-travel bike is based on the Canadian company's Shocker and STD models, but with less travel and a lower weight.

It may be slimmed down but it's still tough enough for team rider Eric Lawrenuk to use at slopestyle contests, with custom-drawn 7005 alloy tubing, a 1.5in head tube and proven four-bar linkage suspension design.

The G-Spot eschews the currently-fashionable swoopy down tube in favour of one that starts off straight behind the head tube, for more fork crown clearance, and then kinks downwards before levelling off again ahead of the bottom bracket.

The version shown here is a prototype but production models should be available soon. RRP is £1,895 for the frame with a Fox DHX Air 5.0 shock. It'll be available in gloss white, black, bright green, team orange or red, and in sizes small, medium and large.

  • I just made a mess in my pants! That's purdy.

  • Me too....I just spaffed

  • "...and proven four-bar linkage suspension design."

    Are you sure? It looks like a multilink VPP type design in those pictures.

  • @ The Pinkster

    I thought the same to begin with, but if you look close at the picture of all full-sus frames you can just see the rear pivot above the dropouts, its hidden pretty well and easier to see if you look for the left (non-drive side) one.

  • bike looks great but why display it

    on a tray of kitty litter ? :-D

  • @ Bannedbiker -

    but if you check out this picture there is a single piece joining the the seat & chainstays just behind the seat post, a very solid looking section around the dropouts and most important two short linkages joining the rear triangle to the rest of the bike, top & bottom
