MphatiPyga Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Already have the 140 pike on with aggressive knob lies and that made the bike even more awesome!
Johnny Lawless Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Hi all. If anyone is aware of a large 110 for sale please give me a shout. Trying to find one for a friend and no better allrounder at the price in my opinion. Edited August 17, 2020 by Johnny Lawless
Pikey Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 What is the biggest difference between the 110 & the stage besides travel ? What are the biggest ride characteristic differences?How much heavier is the 110 over the stage or max? How do pedal efficiency and single track fun differ ? What bike if any do either of them compare to ?
anthemic Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 What is the biggest difference between the 110 & the stage besides travel ? What are the biggest ride characteristic differences?How much heavier is the 110 over the stage or max? How do pedal efficiency and single track fun differ ? What bike if any do either of them compare to ?Tough question as it depends on how the bikes are set up. I’ve my 110 set with a 140mm Pike and 35mm stem with 780mm bars. It’s not a light rig 14kgplus but it’s robust as hell. I’ve had it on enduro tracks and bike parks My Stage is set with a 120mm Reba and 50mm stem, flat bars at 760mm and low stack height. I’ve not got it set up light as I prefer a more robust bike for stage races etc and I’m not a light fellow. They are both very capable bikes. The way I’ve set up my stage I’d say it’s comparable to the newer “down country” bikes but could easily be set up as a more race rocket ZC rig. The 110 as I have it is comparable most modern short travel 29er trail bikes Pikey 1

The 110 as I have it is comparable most modern short travel 29er trail bikesI would set up either more robust as well. With wide bars, short stem and Dropper etc etc. I think the weight of the 110 is it’s only downside ?
Pikey Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Hi all. If anyone is aware of a large 110 for sale please give me a shout. Trying to find one for a friend and no better allrounder at the price in my opinion.There was a sweet 110 advertised here on Saturday for R30k ...that’s what got me thinking about the 110.
Pikey Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 How comparable is the stage max to the intense primer .....not the 2020 version .
cadenceblur Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 it's been a while since I've been on a 110 but I found the Max to be even more planted and stable on the descents. The slacker head angle took some getting used to at first, but they both climb well, very little or noticeable pedal Bob. Both bikes alot of fun! I jumped right in with the 110 being my first full suss. Before the max tried out some other brands but just loved the Max. Pikey 1
Johnny Lawless Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 There was a sweet 110 advertised here on Saturday for R30k ...that’s what got me thinking about the 110.Yes thanks, well aware. It sold before my mate could get his finances in order. Gotta be quick to catch a Pyga...both on the trails and in the classifieds it seems
Pikey Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Yes thanks, well aware. It sold before my mate could get his finances in order. Gotta be quick to catch a Pyga...both on the trails and in the classifieds it seemsReally didn’t know the 110’s were great sellers . I thought Aluminium bike’s wouldn’t be so sought after ,how wrong was i. Or maybe it’s just the 110’s .

My 110 started life at 12.5kg, which is not bad for an XL size alu bike. Pikey 1
GrahamS2 Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 How comparable is the stage max to the intense primer .....not the 2020 version .I ride a Primer and have spent a fair amount of time on a stage and stage max in the past. Primer feels a lot lighter on the trails, but the Pyga's are also great bikes. IMO you can't go wrong with either. Pikey 1

That’s exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for, appreciate the reply As for build quality on the primer & stage max and easy of home maintenance?
Mats Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 I tested both the stage and the stage max this last week.Oh my soul, what a ride.Two absolutely fantastic bikes.
Wayne pudding Mol Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) That’s exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for, appreciate the reply As for build quality on the primer & stage max and easy of home maintenance?I swapped out my stage (100mm fox) for my mates primer which had way more travelI was riding trails where I am admittedly rubbish. My XC setup was easily as capable as his "better" set up bike. Now that's easy for me to say because the Pyga was my bike. But my more skilled mate was impressed at how good my stage was.If I didn't have boost wheels custom made and a boost fork, I would buy another one as I'm struggling to find a 2021 bike I really lust after Edited August 18, 2020 by Waynemol Pikey 1

I do like the rough tech stuff as well as being able to do outrides with mates on marathon type machines . Your bike wasn’t even the stage max,have you ridden one for comparison. I also have boost wheels and fork . But am prepared to forgo that in search of the one bike that suits my needs. My marathon bike has standard non boost so at least I have a set . The stage/max & primer seem the best options and value for money at this point as i have to make 2 become one ....that ???? ride . As for lusting after a ride ,wish I had kept that in mind when buying my road bike ☹️ Edited August 18, 2020 by Pikey
