Bikes for Enduro... The restart

I could , but choose not to.

Would like to keep it in the pristine condition it is in so the buyer truly gets an unbelievably good buy.

This is currently what I spend time on

 

Fair enough, but you're missing out!!

yes, on that point you are right.

The Reign X1 is an undeniably good ride;)

What's ya'll guys thoughts on slapping a 150mm fork on a single track/ trail / Aggressive XC rig which has a headtube angle of 68deg. and with sag is 66.9deg.

Well there will definitely be no enduro riding on any of those XC-looking hardtails... :ph34r:

Thank your lucky stars for the :ph34r: ... the Summer Season frame from On-One can be raced DH if that is what gives you a kick.

 

Couple of ref pics of the headangle with a decent fork.

So these bikes don't end up with super high BB's because of the long forks?

They're designed for long forks

 

Well, the 456 anyway (and summer season).

 

Many others too

2011

trek fuel ex5

 

Hmmm - would be wary of putting a 150mm fork on a 2011 EX5. It's designed to have a 120mm fork - you could be risking a snapped frame along with GBH to yourself. Check what a Trek agent has to say.

Trek says its not advisable and would void any warranties since it would stress the head tube etc.

Yup - figures - you're in Trek Remedy territory with a 150mm fork. Proper enduro beast - not forgetting the Slash of course...
