Over the last few weeks, the Lab has been hard at work finishing the new updates to our range of bikes before the holiday season goes into full swing with a brand new Flaanimal 6 Titanium and a tweaked Trail Donkey 4.2. Both bikes offer a new Spork and a new UDH-capable slider system, while the new Flaanimal offers a laundry list of new innovative ideas packed into the bike that builds on the legacy of the previous Flaanimals that have already wandered the Earth. Logan sat down with Drew to get into the weeds of Rodeo's unique way of doing development cycles, what goes into a new iteration of a bike that has a great tradition, and the specific joys of the myriad of gems included in the final cut of the Flaanimal. Less is said of the new Trail Donkey, mostly because the bike is the same, beyond the way the slider adjusts the rear of the bike and the fork updates. More information on both bikes is available on the Rodeo Labs website.
