what bike ideas??

im 6ft 5 and beguinning to start riding a little more dh rather than xc.

i ride to the uplift 25 mins away. ride it for a day then ride home.

i am doing this on a ht at the moment and im searching for a new full sus bike.

i got a budget really of £1400 and at the moment thats kind of it.

any ideas of what bikes to go for for the type of riding remembering my size.

i got a giant reign 2 2009 in mind £1200 😉 brand new also.

any other suggestions mybe spesh or other branded?

Which downhill track do you ride at?

nordkette singletrail mostly as i live only close by also this year certainly bikepark tirol…

25 mins pedalling on a DH bike? Hmm, not sure i would want to do that.

Orange Alpine perhaps? Great down hill, not too soul destroying on the way home.

I bought a Giant Reign 0 yesterday from Pauls Cycles…£2.5k reduced to £1.6k….absoloutely fabulous bike for the money…6" of travel but light too with air shocks, Fox Talas, Sram X0/X9, Race Face Deus cranks and finishing kit….reckon if you tried one you would find the extra £200!!

at that price reign x or spesh sx trail?

check this one out on flea tray
