Some of the modeling still needs some work before I show you pictures.
With the introduction of the Rune we wanted to make a more definitive distinction from the current Pyre to the MkII design by moving it further into the lighter duty side of things. The first Pyre is a very capable machine but clearly overlaps with the Rune on a number of features, for example the Rune has 6" of travel and the current Pyre is 5.5".
We've also made some improvements such as using an un-interupted seat tube, direct grease injection pivots with polymer bushings, increased the seat tube lengths on the large and extra large sizes to require less seatpost to be exposed making a stronger supported feeling when pedaling, and with 4.5" of travel, down from its original 5.5", it targets more precisely the trail/aggressive XC rider rather then the enduro market that it was originally made for.

The Pyre MkII is going to be a much lighter bike (medium will be definitely be under 5lbs - frame only) than the previous version and lighter means faster. With its great pedaling characteristics it will become a popular choice for those that want a bike that provides them with a high performance competitive advantage.
Here is the geometry chart; as always I am looking for your feedback!
