SX Trail 2 here. For sale too !!

Tbh I think the pitch is not a bad ride. See plenty of them up here at trial centres but tbh, if you are only going to ride trial centre type stuff (i.e. groomed) i'd say the pitch is overkill. If you are wanting to get into bigger stuff and want a freeride type bike i'd seriously look at a 2009 specialized big hit. Seem great value for money.

Sorry I wasn't very clear – I've already got a Pitch. I mostly ride pretty rocky stuff in the Lakes and took it to the Alps to do the Mega this year (plus I do ride the odd trail centre).

But I've never done stuff like the Fort William DH or bigger jumps etc – don't really have the room/cash for a bigger bike, but just wondered if a Pitch would be woefully 'under-biked' for that kind of stuff.

Apologies. I'm sure your pitch would be fine – if it survived MegaV then i'm sure it'll land a few jumps!! Whats the worst that can happen!?! Go for it!!

ide go with the Giant faith.
mmmmmmmmm.

or if you cant wait, a glory fr
