Bikes for Trail Riding... The start

[Yo-Yo]

I want this to be my next trail bike. Obviously I'd have to be unlock and get my current bike stolen as it's on the upper side of $$$ but it looks like it would would be amazeballs. I'd swap out for a beefier fork though.

As someone that started mountainbiking in the 90's, will I always have a soft spot for Kona, Diamondback, GT and Cannondale. ????

Don't forget Bridgestone. The MB0 was pretty awesome.

The 34 is actually not bad at all..... to date it has great on my Jeffery and I weigh in at 95kgs

Been eye balling this one too. Also very nice in alloy. Seems to be a true all-rounder.

Their MyO customizer is loads of fun. Comes at a premium though...

 

But initial reviews seem very favorable. That or the Rallon would definitely be my "If I win the lotto bike..."

My Banshee Spitfire in stealth black...awesome trail bike.

Damn I miss my Spitty.

I've ridden the Rallon and that firmly lives in the Enduro version of this thread. Its a great bike but it's solid and burly as a mofo. Would like to see what this new Occam will be like I always thought of them as more light trail or aggressive XC vibe previously. Looks like it's stepped up this time around.

If we're talking trail bikes then you can't miss out one of the all time classics.

I've always wanted to own an Orange, but never have... 

 

One day (never) when I have stupid money maybe.

Getting that water bottle in and out seems like it could be fun. Looks nice without it tho.

Vitus Mythique - cheap and cheerful trail bike. 

 

Funny story - the name sounds like an Afrikaans person with a lisp saying 'musiek'. 

 

 

R35k - R37k give or take a few R's for duties and shipping, for the top of the line SX with Z2 Bomber up front. But I see they are already sold out for now.

There's no brace on the left hand side, so not an issue. But it does necessitate getting the bottle with your left hand.

Not a problem for gods chosen few. Those less fortunate to use their right hand... well this is payback for years of right handed scissors and having your natural writing arm tied behind your back at school. Not that I have unresolved issues!
