To create you must first gather information. Experience both mental and physical play an integral role when creating a design idealogy that has a symbiotic relationship between form and function. A closed loop that influence each tier equally. One drives the other while the latter never plays second to the former. With this in mind, i set out over the course of about 2 years to develop the ultimate trail machine. But this one didn't begin 2 years ago as stated, its been in the works ever since i started riding and refining my riding style. One that is clean and simple, one that relies on the basics. Building blocks that allow the rider to adapt to his/her environment. The platform I've been refining is all about this diversity.
