That was really good. They had Darren Barrecloth on to narrate part of it. They said that the Specialized Demo 10 is the strongest bike in production. Its amazing how far bikes have come.

The show was named Modern Marvels. It went though a few different things that are considered to be world’s strongest. The last segment was about Mt. bikes. They talked about two different bikes actually. There was the Specialized Demo X, and the FOES DH/FR bike (forgot the name already. The Specialized is considered the strongest production bike followed closely by many other contenders. I hate to say it Mongoose, but know they didn’t mention the Sinister. Both are manufactured in the same town in CA. The FOES is hand crafted, and the business is family owned on steroids (they have very large shop, and streamlined equipment to help with the process). Thier frames are individually stamped and then hand welded and hand pieced. They also design and build their own suspension systems. Its worth checking out.
