Pyga, yeti or santacruz

[Shebeen]

Hi hubbers.

 

I'm in the process of building up a new bike and having a hard time deciding on what to build for myself for the 2018 season. I'm looking at the pyga stage,yeti are and a santacruz tallboy.

 

The reasons why I chose those three Bikes I because of its 120mm travel from and 100-110mm travel rear. Making it perfect for xc semi trail bike. I'm not worried about components because the Bike is gonna be Custom built.

 

Im just wanting to know which is the better frame of the three.

 

Thanks

WHAAAAAAT? that's like saying I am looking at bmw and mercedes because they both have four wheeled cars!

 

also fitting this bill

and even this

 

 

 

so if you can't be more specific on what you're wanting to do with the bike, you're not really going to get much constructive input here.

PYGA with some South Industries Enduro rims - LOCAL man

PYGA - the Yeti ASR has terrible pedal bob and I have heard of a few frames cracking.

Follow the above advice if you don't mind riding with a hydration pack on your back. Freaking cool bike, but no bottle cage.

If you do super long rides where you'll need two water bottles, then get the Pyga Stage.

If one water bottle is enough for you and you'll appreciate a bike that's pretty capable on the downs and pivot bearings for life, get the Tallboy 3.

If one water bottle is enough and you want to get all your tools out of your pockets and stash them in an awesome trap door, get the Camber.

This is great advice.

Santa cruz, don't bother about the rest :-)

Any (or ALL!) of the above.  All of them are dream bikes I think.  Personally, if I could do n+1 and get another bike I would go for an SB4.5c.

Ibis riply? Long & slack version. Pivot mach 4 trail also ticking the naaaier trailish boxes

If I was buying I'd get a Yeti.

Pyga- because anything from Pietermaritzburg is the business [emoji23]

A picture is worth a thousand words!

 

Wifey's bike ... got a 110mm upfront but I bet this bike will soak up 99% of what you throw at it

Good Lord. That is beautiful.
