Who has the best MTB on hub

[Iwan Kemp]

IMO

 

Best XC HT: Scott Scale

 

Best XC FS: Giant Anthem

 

Best Trail: Ibis Mojo

 

Best Light AM: Ibis Mojo

 

Best Hard AM: Morewood Shova or Mbuzi

 

Haven't spend enough time on anything bigger than that to give an opinion.

 

Having said that, one cannot discount bikes like Whyte's E-120, SC's Nomad / Heckler / Blur LT, Titus Racer-X / El Guappo, Yeti 575...there are so many good bikes out there.

 

Suppose that's why the question is who's got the best bike ON THE HUB. But to answer that you have to go back to WvdM q: in which category?

Almost any bike as long as its not carbon

[michaeljoh]

i concur, carbon frames you break like twice a year if youre a hard rider

[splat]

My Anthem X1 is the best according to a recent UK MTB magazine!!!

 

Mine is nicer

I agree, my bro-inlaw had the Raleigh Rm 8.0, he's a well above average rider, snapped his frame some time last year

So far I've been doing with the Mbuzi what I did with my CARBON mojo SL. Yeah, I can hit the drops and jumps harder and the slacker geo helps, but my Mojo lasted just fine...longer than my bud's Alu AM bike. And 99% of the time we ride together and hit the same jumps and trails and drops.

 

 

 

As long as you buy a decent Carbon frame, use it for it's intended purpose and, most importantly, CAN RIDE A BIKE it'll last just as long as it's alu brother.

 

 

 

Are you still riding a 80's Corolla cause it's made of steel and steel is better than alu? Nope.

 

 

 

Anyway..I'll start a Shimano vs Campy thread for us to argue!

dont forget SRAM

Well if you asked "WHO THINKS HE IS THE BEST MOUNTAIN BIKER ON THE HUB", that 16 year old (

) will probably be the first to say so...

I've only been riding for 2 and a half years and just recently started training during the week (riding to work and back), so I'm clearly not and faaaar from being the best MTBer
