I’m thinking of getting a carbon hardtail. Randon black sin 8.0. What r the benefits of going carbon if any??

Its more betterer.

I’m not a fan of plastic bikes. Steel is where it’s at*

*other opinions available!

Have you owned one? (Carbon bike) I was told the r more ridged?

I have owned (quick count) 9 carbon MTBs. They’ve been excellent. I’ve actually only had 3 metal ones.

It’s not as clear cut as ‘x is better’. At the extreme end carbon is lighter, but it’s not a given that because a frame is carbon it weighs less than its aluminium counterpart.

Some are stiff. Some aren’t. As with alu/steel/ti frames.

Radon bikes look good though, go nuts.

Cheers larrydavud.

It’s still Radon too, not Randon. Like last time you started a thread to ask advice.

^ I thought it was him!

In that case the carbon bike will definitely hold the flavour better.

Got 2 carbon bikes, not planning on going back to metal frames at any point.

Hahaha the responses to this thread are why I love his forum.
