which frame have best roll over features for rough terrain suspension/geo system.

[eater]

hello, i need a compact fast and nimble dh frame 200mm i prefer to ride bikeparks, rough/rocky roots terrain, berms, jumps middle gaps tables.
i have testet m9 v10c transition tr450 nukeproof scalp..
but no one makes me really happy the most i like is the v10c but think there are one better out there for me....

but quality first than roll over obstacles "rocks roots" berms and jumps.

any idea ?

knolly podium cove shocker commencal v3...?

banshee legend.

but seriously.. among the ones you already tested, are some of the best plowbikes out there.

Seems like you need to spend more time setting one of them up for your needs if your not happy with any of them.

Personally i love my mondraker summum, after about 2 years on it, i thought it was getting a bit tired, then i changed a few settings about and realised why i like it so much to begin with

I like rearward suspension travel like the Jedi and Zerode.

My Makulu seems to pick up speed over stuff like that - you able to demo one?

We tested the V-10, Legend, TR450, Jedi and Zerode the last two have a huge advantage eating rough terrain. It is pretty noticeable jumping back and forth between bikes.

Dirt also raved on about how much of a beast bike the new Gambler is, if you have the terrain for it... which sounds like you do

I have noticed the rearward travel really makes a big difference on square edges and real rough terrain. The last couple weekends we rode some of the roughest trails I have ever ridden and the Zerode rolled right through. I use to ride a 951 and had a hard time rolling through some of the sections. The rear tire would hang up on the square edges and slow down. The Zerode rolled right through with no slowing down or stopping in the big holes. I could really tell a difference. I've ridden a lot of DH bikes over the last few years and the rearward travel is my favorite for the terrain I ride.

Zerode. Gambler will be nice and come close, but the zerode pivot is way up there. Would be best for rocky courses, but it'll be a bit of a hog on berm burners. At least, my racelink was, and it's pretty durned similar.

Quick question: How lively (poppy) is the Zerode or Jedi? I'm guessing the rearward travel doesn't make for a super playful ride(?)

K9 propain rage (I think the 2011 frame has a 240mm travel setting)

I'd say the grave digger.

the best i rode at this time is the v10c,
i take a eye to the Banshee legend.. thanks.

I'm loving my Canfield Jedi. I've never felt so stable blitzing through rocks/roots...it really is confidence inspiring. The rearward axle path took a day or so to get used to, but I honestly can't imagine riding anything else right now.

In that same vein (and I haven't ridden any of them), but wouldn't the DW-DHR, and Pivot Phoenix DH behave similarly?
