Duane_Bosch Posted September 4, 2018 Share The Torque should be quite a bit cheaper - the Ransom top tier build must be pretty pricey. It's 3 bikes in 1. But you only pay for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 4, 2018 Share I'll just leave this here... she grew a coil. Too much travel? What is this blasphemyOoooh.. I'm getting one one of those soon. To go on my green machine. Edited September 4, 2018 by Cptmayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky and the Warden Posted September 4, 2018 Share Ooooh.. I'm getting one one of those soon. To go on my green machine.You won't regret it. The climb switch is an awesome feature. Edited September 4, 2018 by andrewdh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 4, 2018 Share You won't regret it. The climb switch is an awesome feature.I already know how a coil feels cos I have a kage on there now. Getting the ccdb later this week. Omg the dials. At the moment I whack the LSC closed and it climbs pretty well. But can imagine the ccdb makes it just that much better Edited September 4, 2018 by Cptmayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted September 4, 2018 Share In case you missed it. I smaak my 170/180 dhduro bike. It makes me seek out lekker trails to ride. So I think if you have one of these you'll naturally ride the rougher steeper stuff more often. If it's just a short hop in the belts I have bike 2. On the subject of JH I felt the trails had got a bit Tygerbermified. Thoughts? Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and NicoBoshoff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also beefed up the stopping power and I'll never look back... quad piston for life! As for JH some guys have said that they've smoothed out some of the gnar sections, not sure how true this as I've been grounded while waiting for my coil to arrive. Now let's go find some gnar!

Now let's go find some gnar!Just trail maintenance and fixing erosion and braking bumps (read braking potholes.) It does take the gear away a bit. Bit give it some good rain for the soil to start washing away and a few wheels and it'll be rough again.

Duane_Bosch Posted September 5, 2018 Share A little trail maintenance is a good thing. Careful what you complain about. As for the big hit trail bikes. I've held the view for a while that they are great bikes for "gravity" guys who can only have 1 bike. ReignNomadSpez EnduroThat new Scott? These all fit into that mould for me. Which is exactly why I unloaded my Reign. IMO it's too close to a DH bike and I have a DH bike so something a little more uphill friendly was sought. It was great in the Bikeparks and is a great allrounder but I never loved it. It's been adopted by someone who'll love it. *Disclaimer. This is my opinion based on my requirements from a bike.

Jewbacca Posted September 6, 2018 Share Hmmm, I wAnt, notice that alot of new dh bikes have similar design to ancillotti Ah.... someone else who is a Hyperbole and a Half fan..... Alot of beer is still my favourite Duane, I agree with you re the trail bikes sometimes being too much bike, especially for majority of trails we have in SA. They aren't steep, they aren't super fun or super big and a nippy bike that winches a bit better makes a whole day of riding way less daunting. I know they are fun to ride, but for 99% of our trails they are more difficult to ride well than something with slightly less calibre Hairy and stefmeister 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
