The trc, ibis and morewood are nice – the yeti gets my vote.

the SX and zinc’s ‘hyper’ are f’en ugly imo.

some steep head angles on those bikes…

Hmmm, all but one full-sussers. The tracks are getting rougher clearly.

Sam Hills looks a bit like some rubbish Halfords little girls bike.

The Yeti is very nice, but I’d have the Morewood Couscous. Partly because of the name, ridden by Couscousinie. 🙂

That SX is truly ugly.

Personally, I think the Giant and the GT are two of the nicer ones…

The Morewood looks best to me. The Specialized looks absolutely gash.

some steep head angles on those bikes…

Steep head angles are much better for jumping with.

Don’t care if it’s ugly, the CoG is lower on that Specialized.

I thought 4X was dead anyway.

I like the Morewood, the Intense and surprisingly, the Diamondback, it’s like a Meta 4X.

CG’s TRC by a country mile!

i want ones of these…….

Tazer all the way.

I do love the Yeti, if only because they stuck a Graves sticker over the A. Gwin decal that was already on it!

I thought 4X was dead anyway.

It is for the UCI world cup, but still alive and kicking elsewhere (in the UK for example). Anyway this is dual slalom, not 4X (2 people, separate tracks, 2 runs, rather than 4 people, 1 track 1 run).

Like this for it’s old skool FOES/Turner look.

Or teeny-tinny hardtail

notice all are being pushed, hence the term “push bike”………..
