Bizkit031 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I Emailed Evil a month ago and they gave me a price of about $3100 that includes shipping of the frame and shock. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Capricorn 2
Dewald3 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Howzit everyone Just a quick question for all  What would be rated the best enduro bike for South African conditions, taking all different areas into consideration, from Tzaneen to Cape Town. Most enduro bikes available are made for the type of terrain in Europe and North American (massive mountain with  elevation). Would that be classified as too much?   Dewald

Would that be classified as too much?   Dewald short answer: the best one is the one you buy and ride. If you think you bought too much bike for the elevation/terrain, just go harder. Modern enduro geometries are in general, specced around common design goals: long wheelbases, longer reach, short chainstays, slack head angles, steep seat angles etc, all combining to make them not only extremely capable descenders, but pretty darn good climbing machines as well. So really, if it strikes you fancy, pick one. Any one. Edited June 4, 2015 by Capricorn Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Reden Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Would a Ghost ASX-55 do for Enduro? 120mm Travel all round.Just scared the front travel is too short for this. Pritty picture not the actual bike. Edited June 5, 2015 by Reden
Trailrat Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Would a Ghost ASX-55 do for Enduro? 120mm Travel all round.Just scared the front travel is too short for this. Pritty picture not the actual bike.ASX%205100.jpgIt depends on your skillset. If you have average skills: 140mm - 160mm on 26" and 650B. 120mm to 140mm on 29ers. The head angle is also very important. On slacker head angles you can just about get away with 120mm, especially on 29ers.If you have insane skills, any bike would do.

Recently voted as amongst testers favourite bikes in the Bible of Bike Tests. That, or a PYGA 120 / 110.   Hey! my bike has a 69deg head angle! personally i think, with the trails we have in cpt area anyway, the more xc your bike is, the better, this isint france, our trails arent steep, the quicker your bike is over flat stuff the better imo... that being said, l wouldnt go below 120mm rear travel, but thats just because i own a fullface and want to shuttle too. remfactor 1
NicoBoshoff Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 130mm travel, 140mm fork, 68.5' HA I haven't heard it complain yet. It can even freeride a bit...Â
