Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[Duane_Bosch]

Very similar to commencal meta sx

Yeah I see what you mean.

 

The head tube area looks Mondraker to me and the top tube into seat stay looks Canyon Strive.

Carbon frame enudro bikes ?

 

 

I might have the oppertunity to get A carbon enduro bike in A month or two but Im worried about the frame or rock strikes

 

its an awesome bike but Im a bit weary

 

 

what are your experiences ?

Carbon is stronger than you think. My carbon bike took lots and lots if rock strikes at Klipberg and Ezel (audible "oh ****, that's the end of my frame" rock strikes) and there is no damage whatsoever. There is however a bit of an old tyre strapped to my downtube for particularly rocky rides - I'd do that with alu or steel too though.

 

All that being said, my next Enduro frame will be a steel frame (Mercer, Cotic, Shan, etc). Although I know carbon can take the hit, there is always that thought/illusion of it being fragile that I never experience when I'm on a steel bike.

Looks awesome! Very few things nicer than a Cotic for me.

R65 K for the frame,shock,fork and cranks

considering thats a factory 36 fit grip 2 and probably some expensive cranks that'd put it at about 45k for frame and shock alone, which, whille totally insane, puts it inline with other boutique brands like santa cruz, and cheaper than a yeti sb150

 

Edit: i think those are raceface aeffect cranks, which arent totally expensive actually, but still, 45k is about right

So when are us Enduro Freaks comming together and going for a Ride?We can meet at Jonkers or Tokai for example and shred some Trails together.Should be fun.Great oppertunity to meet some like-minded peeps.

That's a good idea. I'm keen on a Tokai ride because its nice and close to home... Call a ride and see who manages to get it together. Some of us have kids and our time is limited hence the solo missions when a gap appears...

I think that was Chris Nixons bike - he seems to have swapped it for his Trek. I am not a fan of the dull paintwork on this and several other high end bikes eg the Nomad. Still, its better than the Intense day glo nonsense.
