The Tanuki has eight special traits: a hat to protect against bad weather; big eyes to make good decisions; a sake bottle to represent virtue; a big tail for steadiness and strength; gargantuan testicles for obvious reasons; cash for confidence; a big belly to symbolize decisiveness; and a friendly smile. Everything you need for one of the sweetest bang-for-the-buck dual-suspension mountain bikes in creation.
