Rigid or suspension

[henningvr]

Also, if you really are pushing the limits on your bike I would recommend a steel rigid fork or an 'on one' type carbon one with a alu steerer and crown.

 

The monocoque ones, even the no rider weight limit ones, do not enjoy continual big hits .

rigid frame... elastomer forks are for kids bikes...

So like a hardtail.

As you guys mentioned Giant XTCs and rigids, I feel this is appropriate.

Fixie, off road...? I'd be asking advice on that decision before deciding rigid or suspension [emoji849]

It's actually quite fun. Do a section of the old Emperors route on mine often.

Just get a lefty. Only shock that feels rigid when locked...

Wow that XTC is pretty now just turn it into a fixie

somehow I can't see a fixie off road being easy to ride on anything approaching technical.

bit off-topic... but, I see the new Giant XTC has the option to run SS or geared and allows fitting of 29er or 27.5+ (3" wide) tyres... you'll need two wheels sets.

But it's still a Giant.

One thing I am noticing very often is how people think fixie and single speed are the same thing and that in itself creates so much confusion

Correct. = huge plus point

Rigid.

Your technical ability will thank you in a couple of years.

 

If you do it right, you will skop gat downhill in no time.

luckily I know the difference... can't see jumping a fixie as a healthy activity...
