Have to choose between two bikes tomorrow!!!! HELP

[mallyo]

Have you ever ridden those corrugated roads? Joh they are hard on the ass!

 

Edit: and I can only dream of going to ride all those lovely trails out at the Hogsback (on your doorstep) with my DS

I do the "lord of the chainrings every year" . Funny thing is that I prefer the HT on single track as it is much more responsive. The only time I will be begging for the full sus is going down "cranck case alley"

Dual sus, nuff' said

[Clinton H]

Duel, get it now or you gonna sell the hard tail in 6 months time and buy it anyway !

They have that exact HT at Coimbra, the raw carbon is a thing of beauty!!!

I did the Hogsback trails recently on my HT and crankcase alley was no problem for, did have to dodge a local with a pack of 10 dogs which wasn't pleasant at the speed we were going at.

 

My money is on the HT unless youre on the other side of 40 and need a softer ride.

I could think of worse decisions that need making, in this case either way you win. Good luck

Haaay. Easy, bru!

On the hardtail you will look faster, lighter and younger. That green is awesome.

[crasher]

Love the looks of the hardtail

 

But im old so would have to take the dual susser

Hardtail

You'll ride the last 30km of a marathon faster on a dual sus. Unless you are flippen strong or in your 20's. You won't miss the weight saving of a HT. IMO.

Thats fugly!!!!! Just get the dual from the word go!

[dracs]

The hardtail tickles my wallet and the softail tickles my "ass"

you won't be sitting on your wallet for hours on end for years to come...

 

short term pain - long term gain. dual sus FTW

[Warren_G]

Dual sus FTW, you could always pump up the shocks for a firmer ride...remote lockout means you essentially have two bike in one interchangeable on the fly!

[Meentb]

So. What did you get?

[SeaBee]

The only reason I'll possibly get a duallie is for the freakin sinkplaat. And I'm saying from the apparent shady side of the wall.
