I'm going to try and lock in on one by the spring of this year. I definitely want one for the new stuff here in Kingman that we will be building over the next year and a half. It's all dh runs and some climbing trails.

I’m really interested in what bike you’re looking at and what you finally decide on. I currently ride and a ripmo
I like a full powered bike, but I do not like the weight

Transition for sure unless I find a deal I can’t refuse. I’m feeling like if I’m gonna make the purchase I might as well go big and get 170 mm of travel.

Today's ride was on a hardtail. After owning a full suspension for the last few years there's no way I'll ever own anything but a full suspension. Yes I'm spoiled.

they are sweet, that's the brand my local shop pushes...but only the Relay comes in alloy...personally i think carbon is waste of money..5k is lot of coin

Yeah but you even said you want to knock the weight down as much as possible. I’m not sure what the call is on that.

On a levo comp it's only 2.5 lbs less to go with carbon. On a 52.75 lb bike it wasn't worth it to me which is why I went with alloy.

i really was referring to the burliness of the full powered bike..the mid powered bikes feel more poppy and playful ... i'm not a weight weeny

 

[Ripitz]

Just a regular weeny.
