braailegend Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 This just replaced my Reign... ...and yes it will do Enduros! Nice, Hope you dont regret down scaling like I almost did.... from Intense 6.6 to Trek fuel Ex9 Luckily I kept both bikes for a grace period... and sold the Trek fuel after 2 rides. But then again I dont do distance/uphills at all
nolipoli Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 The new reign has got ISCG Tabs, and I don't believe that they fixed the issue with breaking lower links from the Reign X. Aside from that, after insurance paid out for my Reign frame (I dinged it at Karkloof), I got a cracker of a deal on a complete Trance. I spent an hour wheelying the Trance up and down my garden this afternoon, and I have to say that it feels very similar to my Reign.
TopFuel Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Considering he was the only rider to bring his trainer along to the EWS, I think that could be considered "full on".. Then I saw a tweet saying he was going to train more for round 2. When JC was in town you could be forgiven for thinking he was just a regular weekend warrior, so chilled and completely approachable. Then he started riding and realisation set in, he is anything but normal. Smooth, calculated and.. I'm struggling for words.. "cat-like".. That was enough info for me about the "requirements". My riding now is all about flow, well at least I would like it to be. I love this vid. I've posted it everywhere.. think it needs a mention in v2, right? Smooth!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE44oDp2jh8 He is shredding Tokai trails. That is insane riding. Is that the kind of pace you downhill chaps hit those trails?
nolipoli Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I may change to a 140mm fork, but I will try it like it is for now.

If not then its a nice replacement and versatile. Report after trail ride required
