It seems like there have been alot of threads about the new SX, I've quit reading them because I don't think it's the bike for me, I didn't read through the above thread either but it's about the SX.

this thread seems to be more about the 2003/04 SX then the 2005
just one sentence about the 05 which says nothing subatantial

Sweet bike. I've had the chance to ride both the '04 and the all new '05 frames. I rode a 2004 for about a year and loved it, great geometry and killer looks. Only problem I ran into was durability, I snapped my chainstays and that was that. I got to ride Powells SX for a bit at our local jumps. Even though it was too small for me and had custom geometry blah blah, it felt noticeably stiffer and the rear suspension felt smoother more progressive. We have an '05 Frame sitting in our shop and I examine it almost daily, The chainstays are asymetrical and look to be more durable, the '05 is also lighter than the '04. I'm seriously thinking of picking a '05 SX up as my Mountaincross weapon. Hopefully this kinda helps
