Iwan Kemp Posted August 27, 2009 Share 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?

Iwan Kemp Posted August 27, 2009 Share 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!

dee_biker Posted August 27, 2009 Share Let's rather ask: WHO IS THE BEST MOUNTAIN BIKER ON THE HUB..... Well if you asked "WHO THINKS HE IS THE BEST MOUNTAIN BIKER ON THE HUB", that 16 year old (https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=56468&KW=paarl) will probably be the first to say so...

GTfan Posted August 27, 2009 Share Let's rather ask: WHO IS THE BEST MOUNTAIN BIKER ON THE HUB..... 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
