New 160mm Trail Bike? Hmm What to get

[nigelhicks]

Im thinking pascoe for the old man ... and maybe a Scott genius for me?

 

Or i can organise a Bronson for the old man and do a custom build like i did for the missus

 

Then for me ... **** im useless ... i never know what i want

[nigelhicks]

that orbea is awesome

[braailegend]

How much are they that looks good?

 

Only around 2199 Euro for frame only without shock, cheap cheap:)

I have to admit, I quite like the look of Kona's Process: http://www.konaworld.com/process_153.cfm

 

Not enough to prefer it over a Pascoe though...

 

Ultimately, if money is no object, I reckon the T275 wins.

Meh, I see now that the Konas aren't all that highly specced. Not a problem of course if you buy a frame only, but it hints at the level it's aimed at...

If it was my money I'd be looking at the Pascoe, or the new Devinci (the Troy looks awesome in the flesh), or one of these...

I'm really loving my Yeti SB66! I've got the alu which is a bit on the heavy side but really not bad at all and the carbon version would sort that out! It loves going fast and come to life over the rough stuff, pedals like a dream with that switch back system. And did I mention the looks

If you can get it here, I would go for the YT Capra. The top model (pro) sells for 3999 euros equipped with BOS suspensions. The Comp sells for 3499 euros with a Pike upfront and a Monarch plus at the back. As much as I am a fan of BOS suspensions (being french), I would go for the comp with Rock Shox because servicing BOS here in SA might be a bit of a problem....
