The much anticipated bike is finally revealed, not what I expected it to look like. Still like the look of course.

My buddy designed the graphics. I couldn't wait to see what they all came up with. Simple looking

meh looking. Still crazy to me he had to buy bikes and Husky wouldn't give him any. Doesn't look like it says Husky anywhere on it either.

7/10.

It looks okay. Not bad but nothing amazing.

The big CR22 logo on the shrouds doesn't work at all with the round edges of the 16-18 Husqvarna for me. It might sound petty but that ruins it for me.

I personally don't like it. I'd rather see a bigger Boost Mobile logo on the shroud. I find the CR22 logo is out of place. I understand he's funding some of his program but does it really have to be on there.

I like clean looking bikes but that one is plain.

Not a factory edition / 18.5. Interesting.

I can't really tell from the photo, so I wonder who is doing his KYB suspension?

I was expecting a little more. I really liked the look of his two two motorsports bikes.

Chad Reed could ride a bike cover in horse turds and he would make it look beautiful.

He's receiving support from factory KYB via a partnership with KYB USA and Technical Touch Racing in Europe

I like it. It makes the same point as the Cougar on Ricky Bobby's Hood. This entire gig impresses me:
"I'm doing it my way." Nice.

Anyone notice those stock-hubs? Are those stock wheels? Anyone-else (at that level of skill) run stock wheels? Is it just me or...

Is Chad Reed racing a bike that ANY ONE OF US COULD...CAN...BUILD?

I hope he gets thru Anaheim without too much pain or further injury to his ankle-foot. I hope he pick's up some points and continues thru the season in an Extremely Fun and Productive quest.

Isn't Crush(a member on Vital) a designer, i thought he mentioned that in some topic?

I assume you are. That square CR22 logo has to be a big no-no in a designers eyes? I don't know anything about designing so i'm just guessing, it doesn't look good from my point of view.

Agreed. Hope he has a fun and healthy year. Couple solid finishes will come if so.

Damnit. I had the bike at a 7/10 but the punk rock stock vibe is cool.

Hope they beefed up them front spokes then. Maybe waiting on a late shipment
