I know Chakaping has one but are there any other Stage 6 owners on here.
Keen to hear your thoughts on the bike and maybe why you chose it over the Stage 5.
Any flex in the rear end?
Could I also ask how tall you are and what size frame you ride.
Ta muchly.
I test rode a Stage 5 and 6 a few years ago and bought a Stage 6 off the back of the demo.
I found the Stage 5 a better ride for normal trails, well balanced, fun and enough travel. Although the Stage 6 was marginally worse at climbing (slacker and more travel) it had much more in reserve on the descents and urged you more into going faster and acting more like a hooligan.
I'm 5ft8in and ended up on a large Stage 6 (previous geo, not the new one). The Stage 5 was a large as well, but it comes up a bit smaller than the Stage 6 (shorter reach, chainstays and wheelbase).
Rather than start a new thread, anyone else got any views on the stage 6?
Now the stage 5 is gone, this might be an option.
Cheers
