Hey Guys !!
Im in love with the remedy 8 for my new bike !! - I want to no if it is strong enough for the drops at the bike parks but also so it is good enough for Xc riding 🙂

It's spelt "know"................
Depends on the drop, and depends on the XC. Judging by what I see most weekends, most peoples "freeride" is in fact just XC on a 35lb bike at half the speed of the XC boys.
Well i had a Orange, full on Dh rig 🙂 but i could never go out to places on it so we had to drive but i want something to do some freeride and also get to the places
From what I've seen (or people on them) and ridden (an enduro SL) the Remedy will be good, but a bit slow on XC stuff. Just depends on who you're riding with whether its a comprimise you can make. An XC bike is lightning quick untill the going gets scary, the Remedy probably only gets into its stride at that point though.
I have an 09 remedy 7 and its mint! Do it!
Your be amazed what it can do.I have the last of the 160mm up front 09 7.Great bike.can ride it XC bit big up the hills but keep the granny ring on and you can get most places.
If you can live with the disconcerting noises as rocks hit the tubes 😉
