I have both a Tig LT (135/140mm) and a Hyrax (140/150mm). They appear to be close to each other, but in reality, they are two different bikes. I would place them on opposite sides of the trail bike spectrum. I mention this because most people would ask me about the difference between these two.
My experience with Pyga bikes is that they pedal well compared to other bikes in the same category. Also, if you look at the starting prices and compare the components with those of other brands (specialized, trek, scott etc) they are cheaper.
I have had great service from Knipe and Pyga even when something goes wrong, which is rare.
If anyone is looking to buy a Pyga, they are one of the few brands that still have demos and I would encourage you to take one for a ride. They are not for everyone, but they are great bikes, and if they work for you, then you'll not easily buy something else.
