Fezzari sends up the bat sign with an off-the-wall new idea — and brings an notorious antagonist alongside for the journey.
The Utah bike model preps its La Sal Peak enduro mountain bike for the Gotham streets, with Batman and Joker paint schemes. Sitting on DVO Suspension, the 2 170mm builds get touches from Maxxis, TRP Biking, DT Swiss, and a load of different contributors.
Not so critical: joke results in wild bikes
Describing the Joker variant takes one phrase: loud. If “the one wise solution to reside on this world” actually is with out guidelines, you’d look proper in character breaking a number of on the lime inexperienced and deep purple rig.
Appropriately, a joke gave the bike’s creators the concept to make it a actuality. Norm Nielsen and Ed Spinella, Fezzari’s Manufacturing facility Enduro Staff Supervisor and East Coast Ambassador Chief, performed one another’s foils on the design.
“The subject of ‘what coloration bike are you going to get’ got here up, and Ed was speaking about purple,” Nielsen recalled. “I joking[ly] talked about should you run the @dvosuspension inexperienced fork you’ll have a legit Barney bike. As I chuckled to myself it was lifeless silent on the opposite line. Cool as a cucumber, Ed stated ‘no, I’ll have the proper platform to construct a Joker bike.’”
For its half, the Batman Fezzari La Sal Peak (the Batbike?) is a good quantity…stealthier. Dipped in gunmetal grey and sable black, it will coloration coordinate fairly carefully with Adam West’s 1960’s Batman.
Unleashed, creators construct two downhill beasts
Functionally, the builds are large, burly, and provide loads of squish within the suspension; excellent for ripping steep terrain. So, the TRP disc brakes search to disperse warmth and throw down loads of stopping energy — sufficient to “cease a monster truck,” Nielsen stated.
Nielsen and Spinella picked the wheels with the identical activity profile in thoughts. Nielsen stated that whereas he’s used to swift carbon wheels, heavy-duty DT Swiss EX511 240’s made extra sense for the bike.
Aggro Maxxis tires, platform clip-in pedals by Look Cycle, and flexy Fasst Firm handlebars end out the La Sal Peak builds.
One hero, one villain: availability, or lack thereof
In fact, there can solely be one Batman and one Joker, so there’s solely one in all every themed Fezzari bike.
If that will get your hackles up, step apart and ask your self, “why so critical?” You will have to get by way of Nielsen and Spinella to get to the Batman and Joker bikes, however you will get your fingers on the extremely customizable La Sal Peak Comp by way of Fezzari’s web site.
