Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[Eddy Gordo]

Agreed. I reckon it's difficult to put out great reviews off the bat, especially if you're not used to writing a shedload to begin with. But with more time, and more experience together with more exposure to other reviews and works, then your ability to put out a solid review should improve. 

 

And we're seeing it is

I wouldnt mind doing some reveiws for the hub

especially on bikes

Woah. New Meta AM V4-2. Ranging from $ 2,199 to $ 4,599. Nico - here's your budget beater.

 

Someone on PB referred to it as a "no-scope headshot" to other bikes. I think he's right...

Gawddam dat's hawt!

 

I own a Commie and while the Race and WC versions seem good value, the origin and ride seem a tad overpriced, considering they don't even have droppers.

 

Compare those bikes with this beast from Radon and you'll realise the kind of value for money you can get from ze Germans.

 

 

Edit: I should probably add the price for some context: €2.399

 

*That being said, the Commies do have the option to run metric shocks and may have better frame fabrication.

It's really really ugly, but that's a decent amount of bike for R40k

 

The Commies blow me away though.  Great looking, sounds like they ride like lightning and the price points put most competitors to shame.  I endorse this.
