Are they easy to manual? Any useful manualling comparisons?
How big a tyre can you fit in the back? I like 2.5 Big Earls.
shocking!! hardest bike to manual I've ever ridden.
IIRC tyre clearance isn't great but then 2.5 rear tyres are not needed on a blur 4X (or most DH bikes for that matter)
Hmmm, why so hard to manual do you think?
hard to tell.. partly the shock (DHX air IIRC), partly the geometry and partly it was a large (but I'm 6ft so it wasn't all that huge). and I suppose partly me, Minnaar and bryceland manage to manual them easily enough.
it's a mates bike, but I've tried manualling it on a few occasions it probably manuals alright when you get it to the balance point, I just couldn't manage to get it there. 😳 (can manual my DH bike, hardtail and BMX easily enough tho) the Blur 4X is a bike I always thought I'd really like to ride but now, not so much. 😕
get a test ride (or shot of someone's) and see what you think.
i think its a hard bike to manual too, probably long stays and quite a low bike maybe?
2.35 maxxis fit ok, nowt bigger though really
it's not because it's low! it's nowhere near as low as either my DH bike or mini DH bike which both manual v. well for DH bikes.
