Super Sywurm Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Are these bikes on the heavy side? I am considering the Comp.

Zorro5614 Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 I assume 13-14kg? I need a large frame.Hopefully closer to 12kg
Zorro5614 Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 How good are those Manitou forks?Yes the SLX drivetrain is fine, but the fork?
Super Sywurm Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Yes the SLX drivetrain is fine, but the fork?My only problem with the Comp, is the Fork. I just don't know them.
Ruben101 Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 The Manitou Markhor is a great fork. I have it on my Merida Hardtail and i am very happy with it.

Super Sywurm Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Can I trade in my 2019 Drone Elite for the 2020 version?The only question you should ask is, when can I trade my 2019 for a new model?
ChrisF Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 YES. Many bike shops do trade.ins.  The co-payment may well be a bit stiff ...
Vroetelvarkie Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Anyone know the weight of the Elite and Pro models? M Frame

ByronH Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 Hi all. So who has owned one of these Drone HT's for a while now? I am looking to get a new lightweight HT in early 2021 for between 20 and 30k. I'm looking at the Drone Pro, the Specialized Chisel Comp and the Giant XTC SLR. I love the frame of the Chisel Comp, but the fork (Judy Gold) seems a bit low end, and the wheelset is non-descript.The XTC SLR looks good, but I dont think the frame is quite as light, or compliant, as the Chisel. This Drone Pro/Elite comes with great comps! XT, Rockshox SID... what! those comps alone push you close to R20000, nevermind a frame etc. I do quite a lot of trail riding (blue and red trails mainly), but I also want a light, aggressive HT that can climb well, and can absorb bumps and chatter a bit better than my alloy GT Zaskar.  Does this Titan Drone frame absorb bumps and trail chatter, or is a very hard ride that will fatigue a rider after a few hours in the saddle? Looking forward to your opinions! (if only one can properly demo bikes in this country).
