just exchanged some emails with richard from morewood about makulu pricing and thought i'd pass it along:
"We are offering the bikes here with the Cane Creek Double Barrel (Makulu Tune) and we can supply with the Fox DHX RC4 as well. We can complete the bike to any level of build and have 2 recommended build kits.
The retail pricing on a Frame and Shock combo is $3250 for the Fox and $3500 for the Double Barrel. Build kits start at $3250 for the Premium Kit and $4890 for the Pro-level kit."
fyi, i sent out an email this morning and got a reply by the afternoon, with several other emails exchanged about the possibility of demoing a makulu. i'm pleasantly surprised by the responsiveness.

Finally someone is charging a reasonable difference between DB and Fox shocks!
Does it means that you'll have to pay 3500 (frame + ccdb) plus 4890 for a pro level kit? or is it 4890 frame and PLK

[QUOTE=la_cleta;3287002]Finally someone is charging a reasonable difference between DB and Fox shocks!
2010 Fox DHX RC4 $585(I have the price list in my hand)
Cane Creek Double barrel $650 (from their website)
so not too much difference in price with the new Fox. I think Elka is around $450 retail and a vivid with a spring is around $400 give or take. The only shock that is really out there in price is the BOS at around $900.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Obvious answer... run a 180 rotor... but...
What is the issue, does the caliper run into part of the adapter? You might just have to file it for clearance. If it absolutely does not work, then I don't think anyone will have anything for you. Good luck!

Makulu owners: Anybody running a small at the height of under 5'8"? I'm wondering how does it fit the rider at this height? I'm in the market for one however I can't throw a leg over one so need some feedback.
Cheers

I do not see any specific shock development on the Evil, so what makes the Revolt better than a Makulu beside their marketing-hype...
