My new Tig in translucent black. 135mm Deluxe Ultimate and 150mm Pike Select+. Burgtec cockpit, GX groupset, SRAM G2 RSC brakes, with rest of the parts by Deed. DHR2 in 2.4 front and back.

What a bike. This thing is incredible. Climbs like a monster, and takes big hits like a champ.

 

Sweet, I really like the colour!

For trail riding how does one decide between the Hyrax and Tig?

i would say call Pyga, explain to them where you ride, how you ride, you skill etc and they will be the best to advise, they friendly... don't be scared

Hi, hope this is the correct topic, but what is the best way to route cables for Giant contact switch dropper post on pyga stage frame?

Painted or raw 

 

Go painted - as awesome as raw looks when it's new, it's difficult to keep clean and will show all sorts of stains and marks over time.

I have a raw frame and am regretting it now.

Translucent - now that's what I would go for !

I have the Hyrax and I've found it to be great overall. I'm more focused on riding downhill, but you need to get up to the top first and for that the bike pedals fine, even with me having it in the low setting with 160mm travel up front.

You can make it pedal easier if you spec it with a 140mm travel fork, running the rear in high.and running the bars lower and maybe putting on a faster rolling tyre. I think you'll be able to get the best of both worlds and then you can always spec it for more gnarly stuff if you want.

If you get it with the DVO Diamond fork, you can set it internally from 140 to 160, so you have options.

In very simple terms - it would depend on where you ride and how aggressive you ride. The Hyrax would be able to take bigger hits. The drawback would be that it is a slightly heavier. The Tig is lighter, but slightly less aggressive comparing to the Hyrax. 

I think both of them are awesome alloy trail bikes and either one serves a wide variety of riding, so you'd probably be fine choosing either one. 

On a personal note - I ride a Hyrax, but my riding style (at the moment) is probably not aggressive enough to enjoy all that this bike offers, but I do love it and would not change it for anything. I see it as something I can grow into.

Thanks - agree with all the above. I too am on a Hyrax and my question is more out of curiosity. Clearly some overlap between the Hyrax and Tig. Love my Hyrax though.

rather love Pyga...

And get the right one for your riding, you will find allot of Pat's design over lap at the ends... allowing you to choose between 2 riding styles.

Example was the Stage and Stage Max, same frame, different shock and fork setup gave the bike 2 very different capabilities.

Anyone in the know as to what this project is? A high pivot suspension design?

Not sure, but that ridge at the bottom feels a bit like what Atherton bikes do with carbon fibre tubes and titanium joints.

Maybe a new bike with a combination of aluminium and carbon?

Could even be a variation of the Evoke?

Lovely!
Dig that colour.
Even though you went for the XC build, isn't it screaming for a dropper ?
