its time for a new bike – I am starting to like riding downhills a bit too much so want a more fun DH’esq kind of bike. I dont mind a little cycling up hills especially as its quicker and means you can get more runs DH!

I was thinking of a YT Capra, or similar from Canyon (torque gapster) but can’t decide.

Then heard about the cube fritz but talking with some owners at bpw there seems to be some quality issues.

Any suggestions? thanks

Capra is a great bike… But everyone has one now

Rune

loops sorry for the double post… and not even posting what i typed?!?

teeth grinder beat me to it….

I went for the banshee rune, it really does do everything quite well, i have done uplifts at inners, and local DH trails in N.Ireland, raced Endu…….no can’t say the E word!!!! also do a few big mountain days in the mourne mountain natural trails

great bike

This is basically a ‘my bike is awesome’ thread. But what the hell. Got a Norco Range Carbon earlier this year. Fantastic bike for everything, but particularly hooning it downhill. 160mm front and rear. Brilliant spec, I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about it.

Giant Reign
YT Capra
Orbea Rallion
Mondraker Dune

Those were my shortlisted bikes, I went with the Giant as it’s lower and longer in the top tube than the Capra whilst not being as ridiculous as the Mondraker.

Here are my thoughts on the bike

It also pedals very well considering how sensitive the suspension is.

NP Mega Am
GT Sanction

There are some great suggestions! Thanks
