Hey all,
I'm looking at getting a trail bike that will suffice as my only bike for awhile until I can afford a full on DH bike. I'm selling my SX Trail in the next month with the hope of replacing it with 2 bikes within the year. Trail bike options so far include:
Trek Remedy
Fisher Roscoe
Morewood Mbuzi or Shova
Ibis Mojo
Pivot Mach 5
I'll be riding the bike fairly hard, but I'll set it up appropriately with components that will suit my needs. I'd like something that will be responsive and corner well without being twitchy. Ideally, it'll serve as a very nice ride in Downieville if that gives you any idea of what I'm looking for. As it will be eventually be used for some training purposes, I'd like it to pedal well so I can keep up with buddies on some lighter duty bikes like Trek Fuels, etc.
I have connections with all these companies and only these companies, so my next bike is going to be one from this list. I'd prefer ride experience to speculation, but any sort of input is helpful. This bike will be a do-it-all to start, but will shortly turn into a trail/training rig after my DH bike is made a reality.
Cheers,
Zack
