This thread is making me think I need an Alpine. Are they good for rooty/bumpy downhill? I’ve been considering upgrading to a full sus but it’s so expensive and the alpines look so bloody nice with big forks on em!
I thought mine was quality for downhill, rode quite alot of the “main” downhill tracks in the Alps on it and it was awesome, especially with those 66’s. I also think it has more of that “steel is real blah blah” feel to it than my cotic does, which is fairly stiff.
If you like doing jumps n that then I’d keep the dmr or get a cotic cos they feel a bit better than the alpine for jumping
