Freerider VXi elements

 

Thanks for the great advice!

 

Damn you!

 

Now I can't use mine in public anymore!

 

This is why I can't have nice things! First SomeBloke has the same shorts as me, then you have the same shoes!

 

 

hahaha! But yeah, have yours arrived yet? Have you ridden with them? Have you ridden with other FiveTens before? What's your take on the VXi Elements?!

He he he. Sorry mate.

 

This is my first pair of five tens and I am not best equippped to give a considered review because I am a rookie. Having said that, I love them - they are so comfortable I am considering sleeping in them!

 

Yes I have them - picked them up in London earlier in the week GBP99.00. I will do my first proper five ten ride tommorrow.

Cool. As mentioned they will have awesome grip apart from hiking up steep muddy inclines.

 

I briefly saw Wessel's pair with the "notice me" colour scheme.

From what I understand... Hardtail has the same Dawn Blue as you and Wessel (with the many Pics of his Pivot) has the Ocean Depth blue with lumo yellow laces.

Aaah damn!

 

Well I do have 4 other pairs I could wear :ph34r:

Are all of you guys getting them from over the sea? I see Mountain mil order has them for R1250,00 :ph34r:

 

Well spotted! That's a very good price! Lets just hope they can keep up with stock (a usual problem with the local FiveTen suppliers)

Won't the VXI Element be a bit hot for SA conditions?

 

From what I understand, the shoe is intended for comfort in extreme conditions such as rain/snow/ice/mud.

 

Won't the standard VXI be better suited to our climate?
