outoftowner Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I have been looking at the A 10,which is very well specced,but no reviews anywhere.Someone go and ride the bloody thing!
Chip Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Check MTBRobbies's blog for a review on the A10FS... http://www.axis-bikes.com/rider-tips/axis-a10fs-29er-test-ride-week-1
scotty Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 i like the look of the bike and parts seem decent, not sure of the wheels though and if they are durable, at least they not Alex.
MTBRobbie Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Hi Scotty - Kore website with details here http://www.kore-usa.com/
MTBRobbie Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Hi Scotty - Kore website with details here http://www.kore-usa.com/Also there are 2 riders with the Axis A10 hard tail doing the Epic. Wheels and Kore parts 100% good for the job - follow them on http://lockerz.com/s/195002637
scotty Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) THi Scotty - Kore website with details here http://www.kore-usa.com/Thanks, i'm looking at their 29 HT which also come out with these wheels, they can only be better than cr@p Alex ones (Road and MTB had both, both suck for heavier riders). I see the top MTB Axis models also come out with them. My LBS is listed as a dealer but i did not see any on his floor this weekend. Edited March 28, 2012 by scotty
MTBRobbie Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 There are only a few of the A20 hardtails left, book one with your LBS
RvanZ Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Is this not an on-going range?Are the distributors not getting more stock from the factories?
JTK Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) axis is to Scott what Titan is to Merida right? At that price it does look pretty good. At least you know the geometry is more or less sorted. Recon silver up front is alright. Only real question is the wheels I suppose? For me I will wait for another two years before a new bike. By then the manufacturers would have moved back to putting Shimano groupies on their bikes edit. I see the wheels are 2.5kg, which is pretty heavy.... At least the Giant ones are 500grams lighter...

MariusC Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 looks like a good bike. Would like to test drive one
