TheV Posted June 1, 2012 Share But seriously Never had a bike track so well, has that much acceleration, and on full open you get 0% pedal bob. Ive already found out they will sell frame kits and basically all but ordered mine Huh? tried a Yeti SB-anything, tried any Tomac's, tried any Turner's? Spaz's? Scott's? ......

covie Posted June 1, 2012 Share Huh? tried a Yeti SB-anything, tried any Tomac's, tried any Turner's? Spaz's? Scott's? ...... Yes i have tested the spaz sworks, also the scott ellite, the giant athem, even tried a Santa and a Niner before i bought the rocky,none of them COME CLOSE!, sure some of them are lighter and blah blah blah, You have to compare apples with apples, the yeti and those are AM bikes, what we are talking about here is a bike designed for some of the toughest trails in the world that still yields a race winning bike that can take you on any multiday stage race no hassles and all of that on 29" of rubber, and that my friend is the Rocky, Bikes like the Santas are good on trails but suck on long rides, where the spez is a really fast uncomfortable race bike and ok but not great on anything that doesnt resemble a gravel raod, and i hate the brain shock. But its just my humble opinion, climb on one and see if you ever want to ride your old bike again. My money is you wont even look at your old bike. In translation here is the results of bikemag's yeti test,http://www.bikemag.c...yeti-sb-66-pro/ Nowhere is there anything in that review that would excite me to get on it. (An i like yeti dont get me wrong) Nothing like this bike shreds, its awesome its great, its a marvel, best bike i have ridden to date? Nope oh look its a yeti with a new suspension design.

Jip that is the 970RSL. We are busy organising a massive test day in Gauteng for the new 2013 range... Sometime during Sept/Oct. Most of the 2012 test bikes are down in the WC...

covie Posted June 1, 2012 Share @covie, which one did you get? Have the element 930 with upgraded brakes Front shock and wheelset. So basically a element 950. The alu version is not the lightest in its price range but man never regreted the bit of extra weight one bit. Its just a fantastic bike. I use to love my anthem X and my other bikes but since i got this one i sold the rest, I just simply had no desire to ride them again. So im really stoked that theres a carbon version comming out, I mean the alu is supper rigid cant wait to see what the plastic one handles like.

Nimby Posted June 1, 2012 Share Not official since they havent hit shores yet, plus rand dolla exchange and all that but lets just say from 35kish all the way up to 85kish depending on your flavour.Here's a reply I received from Hullabaloo earlier today... First shipment will be in around mid SeptemberNo set pricing at the moment as this will be determined by exchange rates and logistical costs at time of shipping.But here is a rough estimate 999 RSL R 82 000.00970 RSL R 49 000.00970 BC Edition R 48 500.00950 RSL R 37 500.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
