My new bike in 4 months - On One 456 Mountain bike!!

Mega excited - this is going to be my new bike Iam saving up for in 4 months!! On One 456 X9.
Soooooo excited !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

£1499.00 .... hard saving to do but going to be worth it!

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Looks nice for an MTB, and you need the colour in your pic, the red looks IMO (and I don't mean sick in a good way). However, I don't understand their quote, "the world's first full carbon hardcore hardtail bike"
The reason I don't understand it is I'm not sure what that makes the full carbon hardcore hardtail 'Focus Raven Pro' I had circa 3 years ago then? Or am I missing something? (probably am)

Nice Bike Fran - Anyway do you know what the roads are like chipping clitheroe and the likes I was there last week and it was ankle deep in snow Im thinking of trecking out to Waddington via chipping tomorrow and I dont fancy it if there is still snow or sludge lying on the tops

I think they are playing on the " hardcore" whatever that may mean ? My scott endorphin is now over 10 years old full carbon. Probably not hardcore enough !

Nice looking bike by the way

Hi theres no snow as far as weather here is concerned - all clear maybe some ice.

sorry dont know what On One mean by that but I dont care to be honest- i think the bike looks s*** hot, and iam mega chuft at getting one - knocks the s*** out of my current Apollo eh??

Only four months to save up? ... your husband best not read this or he'll be wondering where the housekeeping is vanishing too. )

Me neither of truth be told, sounds like marketing hype as lukesdad says. Don't get me wrong Fran, as I say I like the look of it, (in black/grey) and it's well specced, and I have no doubt the two of you will be very happy

Nice looking steed

thanks - iam getting the black/grey colour, just fell in love with it - and to be honest I need something a lot lighter for my mountainbiking.

cheers Col

The hardcore bit is the 140mm forks and slack head angle, making it an aggressive monster on the descents. It's typical Pennine fare, designed to go downhill fast, but fast to climb as well. It ain't designed for sweet singletrack, it's designed for the likes of Lee Quarry. The green bike is a steel 456.

The reason they bill it as a first is, yes, there have been plenty of carbon bikes, but they were mild-mannered XC stuff with 80 or 100mm travel. This thing is more of a hooligan.

We used to call them downhill bikes cubist.

Yob's bike, gloriously, splendidly so, a two-wheeled hooligan, and none the worse for it. I'm profoundly jealous though it isn't built for my 'style' of riding.

Francesca, you know such a splendid machine will require, or create in others an expectation of, rider skills to match... best get practising!

From an Apollo to a carbon 456 "That's one small step for a girl and a giant leap for moutainbike kind."

Cheers Greg -been practising today..and yes it is a giant leap for mountainbike kind!!

It certainly is a big step.
I know when I went from a Carrera Vulcan to a home build, it was massive.
so good, the wife had to have one also ;-)
Enjoy... it'll be way more fun
