Iwan Kemp Posted August 18, 2013 Share I'd go with the YT for two reasons. 1 Pike and 2 Monarch. 2013 CTD has been a bit of a disaster and 2014 doesn't look too good at the moment. The BV Fox my HD came OE with would heat up and lose performance in no time. mada3400 and Ryanpmb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted August 18, 2013 Share Problem with Canyon is they don't ship to SA anymore. They only sell online so you will have to buy while in another country, I don't know how that will affect warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega Man Posted August 19, 2013 Share When did they stop? A mate brought in his dh rig from them.earlier this year. YT don't ship here either so both ways you'd have to make a plan to get it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deviate Posted August 19, 2013 Share my vote for the YT ! did a quick search, so here's some reading for you http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12930161&p=18409350 http://forums.mtbr.com/all-mountain/yt-industries-darn-good-deals-794516.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted August 19, 2013 Share Canyon FTW - pity they won't ship here both are way better value than big name brand bikes. Get a relative to order one or use their address when you order and they can bring it over or ship it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 19, 2013 Share YT - mirroring Crow's reasoning. The PIKE beats the 34 hands down any day of the week ito adjustability & reliability, especially with Fox's C(rap) T(rademarked) D(amping) system that has had more than just one report of un-warranted, uncontrollable fork dive just when you need it. The Pike, on the other hand, is a RS Gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
