Odinson Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Transition Trans Am 29. 67.5 with a 120mm fork. And you'll have one of the only ones in the country. Good choice.
G00SE Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 We probably should have asked this earlier, but, what is your budget?
droo Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Have had a look at it. Would be epic but would like the option to go 2x10 as 1x10 isn't enough gears and 1x11 is out of my price range 42t range extender and you're done...

pieterrossouw03 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 That definitely isn't going to be a cheap bike. What is your budget?My budget is about R20-25k. Thats why the Sola would have been an good option as it goes for about 17k for the specs I was looking at it just isnt trail enough and not to keen on the two different size wheels on the Signa. So it looks like my only option is to go for a custom build or get a demo Stuntjumper FSR or Rocky Mountain Instict.

You'll be ahead of the curve - 27.5+ is the future. Trust me. You'll be riding shotgun when the rest are still scrambling to jump on the bandwagon.

From Spez' website: 6Fattie tires have been developed for more traction and floatation, resulting in more control and speed. The increased width means that lower air pressures can be run, resulting in a 69% increase in tire contact patch. Additionally, the tire volume has been increased by 56%, so they'll help absorb bumps without slowing you down.
