Bikes for Enduro... The restart

It's not even that cheap tho. A bottom of the range reign is pretty much that price and that's a great bike.

 

But yeah. It's easy for these bike reviewer guys to look down their noses at "entry level" bikes when they get to ride $10000 bikes that they aren't even paying for.

 

Wait.... I think I disagreed with Nico. Then I agreed. Then I disagreed and now I'm back to agreeing with him.

 

Let me test your bottom of the range Reign, you can test my bottom of the Reign Trance  :thumbup:

A friend just got himself a Jeffsy 29 Al 2  - it has great sizing and the components are good. I think its about the same price as the 672 or maybe less on sale. Perhaps RC will test this bike or other value offerings and find that they rival the 10k bikes in performance better than this one... time will tell.

he said something about trance riders enjoying the feeling of the wind in their VJ's.

Review raves about it but the price is eye watering. And its not festooned with enough carbon and gold cassettes for those with $ according to the comments. Imagine the price here...

Edit: I was actually surprised to see it was as 650B. I was under the impression it was going to be a 29er. Guess it's more of a replacement of the now-dated Slide Carbon 160.
