Thinking of selling my 08 575 but what to replace it with? I'm thinking orang 5, intense 5.5, any other recommendations?
Yeti seven !!!!!!!!!!!
enduro
Yeti Asr 5 !!!!!!!
PP sold his and got a Pitch.
Yeti 7 looks ****ing horrible IMO! Wanna get away from a carbon rear end, has the ASR 5 got a carbon rear end?
orange 5, a cracking bike,just as good as a 575.
Why would you want to do that?
I have a 5.5 BTW.....
Santa Cruz Blur LT2, either ally or carbon depending on your wallet. Bloody love mine and you can do some customisation with the build options. The Intense is basically the same bike as they share development with SC.
Not entirely sure, just fancy a change and weighing up my options. Bit paranoid about the carbon rear end (not that i need to be particularly) The mud clearnce ain't great either (not really putting forward a great case if I'm looking to sell it am I!)
Sold mine and got a Reign, and I think it's better in every way.
There's probably better bikes than the Reign, but in the sales it probably costs half as much as them.
Otherwise Remedy or Spicy worth a look, they'd be top of my list anyway.
LaPierre Zesty?
Pete Poddy had one of those and sold it for a Pitch Pro. He is well chuffed with it!
great suggestions but I'd be only selling the frame I reckon as I'm happy with the I've accumulated on the 575....
Sold my 575 and went over to the Turner camp. The 575 was good in its day, but the Turner beats it hands down in every situation.
TURNER now there's a plan, what did you go for ? 5 spot I assume?
Nicolai Helius AC, probably the best Nicolai model for UK trail useage :

I've got an RFX and a Flux. The Spot would be the obvious choice for a single bike 575 replacement though. I can't stress how good the bush system is for UK conditions. The bearings in the 575 were a right PITA.
nicolai's latest helius bearings are preloadable and full ceramic.........allegedly......
mine are still super tight after 12 months of neglect and abuse 😈
Very nice bike Lecht. Looks like there's some hard earned gone on that.
sorry crag - that's not mine - this is mine (but it's an AM not an AC) :

i could wholly recommend the AM but i reckon for the UK the AC is a better bike and a suitable replacement for the 575
Turner 5 Spot well worth a look. Have a 5 year old HL version that never let me down and still going strong regardless of my crashing it, bashing it, scuffing it and complete lack of bike maintance. Best bike I've owned. Wish my new DW version would hurry up and arrive.
shame the DWL looks so gash..........
i'm still a turner fan however.....
Nicolai's are eternally fugly.
I have a carbon framed, alu rear triangled Enduro S-Works and it blows me away.
beauty / beholder, etc.
I didn't like the DW when I first saw them, look so much better built up. Ride bloody lovely though, the important part really.
Amos, I've just sold my 07 575 and bought a DW Spot. If you've got the dollar try one out, they're incredible. As good (if not better) than the Yeti on the climbs and destroys it on the downs.
New 2010 G Spot.... little chance of anyone walking up and saying 'I got one of those'
Could buy my Orange 5 AM 08 model 8)

Depends what you want to do with it?
The 575 can be set up for two totally different types of riding and it depends on which type you do or will do. If you are a big hit type of rider than go with something with 6" of travel or even more, if your not that type then try something with 5" or even drop to 4" and superlight.
