[#2711044]

I am considering an SX trail, but is there something out there as good or better for doing the 'tolerable to ride up anything, great to ride down anything' stylee.... Heavier rider in the equation, but not clumsy. I am looking for something robust but peddalable. I have a Turner Highline in Large which I should have bought in medium in case anyone wants to do swapsies. ๐Ÿ˜†

Cheers Ed

The new Enduro's are everything the old SX's were and more. I've had 2 SX's and now a new 2011 Enduro Expert and it's absolutely awesome. Lighter, climbs real well and descends like a downhill bike.

If you have a stiffee then maybe back it up with a gspot? Goes up great, down is incredible!

In the tradition of just listing your own bike.... Pitch? Like an SX Trail but slightly less beefy/cheaper.

Guy,

How was the Herb? Was seriously looking at this before I got the Mojo HD but there was no way of getting a demo. How come you are selling??

Cheers,

Adam (one of your first guests!!)
