- besides the obvious, the V2 features new diff outdrives, new suspension arms & holders, new slipper clutch
- detailed shot of the new slipper
- the V2 may have a "real" kickup built in, not just an anti-dive, the nose plate suggests that
- very beefy looking wishbones on 2mm front suspension holders?? just a prototype-- nice tuning options, FINALLY Velox axles and the torque limiter one way is the best thing, Academy could come up with!

credit goes to "Klaus" alias "AdventureQ" who took the photos

Got word its possible release date is June - July in Europe.

I would like them to see about putting titanium turnbuckles on this instead of the ones they got now, They should contact lunsford and have them put a set on.

didn't they just come out with the sb pro?

I think part of the name may be a misnomer. On the tag on the box, it says the carbon limited edition. It has been commonly called the pro. Maybe this was the one they had in mind?

I like the fact that the Slipper clutch appears to be externally adjustable. Getting to the current one isn't all that much of an issue, but you do have to do alittle dissassembly. This way, you can just adjust on the fly.

Another thing, I wonder if those springs are Academy ones? If they are going to make a spring kit, then I am VERY excited!
