Yup, the blue one is a 2011 Talas 36, and the yellow is a 2012 Fox Talas 36.

If only I could create a carbon sb-66 without waiting half a bloody year!

Best bike I've owned and I've had many... It rides different then anything I've had before and inspires confidence. It seems to identify your weakest riding traits because it excels in so many diciples. You can't blame the bike for anything anynmore!

probably chicken barns.

I read the recent review. I wonder if they had a faulty shock or something. I have not taken it off of any large hits (yet) so I can't comment about that. But what I would say is that I'm positive there are different shock choices that are more suited to big hits. I've seen them with DH oriented coil shocks that would probably solve that reviewers complaints. It's a shame it got 3 stars seemingly for one complaint that is easily fixed and isn't really the fault of the actual bike. I've found the rear suspension to have a bottomless feeling but again, I have not taken it off any large hits yet. I'm riding the North Shore Monday/Tuesday and will huck it then and can report back!
