That YT Play answers all your questions.

blunder/rickos – awesome, like you say, that is exactly what i am looking for I knew someone on here would come up with the goods! I can’t believe that is 1699eur for the full bike.

2010 Absolut SX frame & shock – short only – @ Merlin ?£650….

Glad i could help. Please tell us how it rides if you decides to go with it. I’ve been eyeing it as a mini (micro?) DH/freeride bike but would like to be able to pedal it along some flat trails too.

The Intense Tazer VP is in the ballpark. 68 degree HA, 1.5″ HT if you want to put an angleset in.

That YT is excellent VFM though 🙂

Rook 😛 should be good value if the mega is anything to go by…

just incase anyone else searches on the YT play in the future, a few tech specs they don’t list online (http://www.yt-industries.com/fileadmin/downloads/productsheets/de/productsheet_play_de.pdf) that i have asked about – seatpost is 30.9mm, so dropper friendly and frame weight is about 3.3kg without shock – now i just have to try and get them to sell me one as frame only…

one other thing if anyone else is thinking about this sort of bike, i spoke to spesh USA, they hardly make any of the SX supercross frames and they are currently sold out globally, you need to order one in about june to get hold of the next years production which is usually out late summer.

And some frame weights for super slack micro downhillers:
nicolai ion 14 3.5kg
pivot m4x 2.8kg
YT play 3.3kg
Specialized SX supercross 4.1kg (i think this might be with shock included)

so the YT stacks up pretty well, even if it is the cheapest one

Just for the record my adjusted AM (pictured above) has the following numbers:

BB height measures 13.2″

Head angle measures 65.7 degrees

Travel setting in current set up is 150mm with a 160mm (545mm) fork.

It works well with a 150mm (520mm A2C) fork to; measures 13″ static BB height and 66.7 degrees HA. Best to run the bike in the 140mm setting with this fork though otherwise the BB is so low you can barely pedal.

Here’s my SX.

Not that it’s been anywhere near a downhill course yet!

Nukeproof Rook in the silly yellow….when it’s out.

Some cracking little bikes up there. Tazers handle best at 100-120 though – don’t jack the front end up too much, you’ll lose the nippy cornering (I ran 140mm Bombers on my FRO for a little while and still have the scars 👿 ). Another vote for the Howler too (or Cowan DS/Dudu – similar geometry iirc). Commencal Absolut SX? Orange Blood?
