gummibear Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Been looking at a few bikes and narrowed it down to these 2. Similar price and specs. Both are awesome on the trails Took a Camber out to test and impressed me but its a bit more than these 2. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11070973/p5pb11070973.jpg SPECIFICATIONSFRAMESET Frame OCLV Mountain Carbon main frame & seatstay, alloy chainstay, ABP, Full Floater, EVO link, E2 tapered head tube, internal derailleur & dropper post routing, Carbon Armor, BB95, ISCG 05 120mm travel Front suspension Fox Performance 34 Float, FIT4 3-position damper, E2 tapered steerer, 15QR, 120mm travel Rear suspension Fox Performance Float EVOL, RE:aktiv 3-position damper, tuned by Trek Suspension Lab, 7.25x1.875" Sizes 15.5, 17.5, 18.5, 19.5, 21.5"WHEELS Wheels DT Swiss M1900, tubeless strips & valves, 15mm front, 142x12 rear Tires Bontrager XR3 Expert, Tubeless Ready, aramid bead, 27.5x2.35" front, 27.5x2.20" rearDRIVETRAIN Shifters Shimano Deore XT, 11 speed Rear derailleur Shimano Deore XT, Shadow Plus Crank Shimano Deore XT, 36/26 Cassette Shimano Deore XT, 11-40, 11 speed Chain Shimano XTCOMPONENTS Saddle Bontrager Evoke 3, hollow titanium rails Seatpost RockShox Reverb Stealth, 2-bolt head, 31.6mm, zero offset Handlebar Bontrager Race X Lite, OCLV Carbon, 31.8mm, 15mm rise Stem Bontrager Rhythm Pro, 31.8mm, 0 degree Headset FSA IS-2 carbon, E2, sealed alloy cartridge Brakeset Shimano Deore XT hydraulic disc

xamnam Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Look at the Habit. Just got one and seriously impressed.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Trek. Trek Trek Trek. Their ABP suspension system, and that Penske shock, together with the new 34 vs the revelation. I'd get the trek JUST for that Penske developed shock. It's also a very, VERY good bike. Yes, the LaPierre has the E:i shock interface, but damn, Gummi... That Trek is just better in all other ways. I mean, Penske... And a superior suspension platform, FWIW

intern Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Just get the one which in your eyes has the best looking paint job. That's the advice I gave a mate getting into cycling when he wanted to know if he should get a giant, a merida or a specialized at similar price points...
Rocket-Boy Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 The trek will be the better bike, the Lapierre is awesome too but wont be as good a bike.I dont get it through, neither is a steel hardtail
Odinson Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Looks-wise, the Lapierre trumps the Trek. However, the Trek seems to be the simpler bike. Get on and go. Any you may have missed? http://www.bikemag.com/tag/2016-bible-trail/ Myles, which of the two bikes have you ridden?

gummibear Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 Neither, unfortunately. But I have ridden an older Fuel, when they were still 26"Chalk and cheese...totally different bike now
gummibear Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 spanner in the worksThe Scout was on my list but worked out a bit more expensive.
'Dale Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Look at the Habit. Just got one and seriously impressed. Looks awesome heyCongrats
Matchstix Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 How can you forget about the thunderbolt fro rocky mountain. I would take the trek on those listed. http://mbaction.com/uncategorized/bike-test-rocky-mountain-thunderbolt-770msl
