doesn't the legend have a similar shock rate to the sunday?If the WB is long enough and the suspension rate is at all similar to the terrain gobbling Legend I'm sold.
From what I hear yes, although a bit more progressive at the end stroke.doesn't the legend have a similar shock rate to the sunday?
To be honest I would want my enduro/park bike be more agile. I love my legend but it is very far from a playfull bike. It's much better for inside line cutting and drifting than popping out of corners and jumping everything. A good mix of plow and agility is needed here. Riding any am bike like the legend should be ridden will kill it.If the WB is long enough and the suspension rate is at all similar to the terrain gobbling Legend I'm sold.
Agree to a point; I want something similar to the Legend's suspension rather then the same. I'd really like something more plow-able then most AM bikes out at the moment - more then my Reign X for example (which isn't bad, especially at speed), but without resorting to 180mm of travel.To be honest I would want my enduro/park bike be more agile.

That is true. Just not a pure plow bike and as much as some people hate the term on this forum - legend is oneAgree to a point; I want something similar to the Legend's suspension rather then the same.

Very clever!accepts 26 and 650b wheels.
i think i just tented, too*snippy*
this is what just happened to me
yes, but the more research i did on it the more i found it isn't going to be a good bike for the trails too. the rune sounds like it can handle a bike park fine and it will have no problem w/the trails. the darkside looks awesome but i'm not able to get out to lift access parks enough right now to justify a dedicated DH bike or park bike. so i need something that can handle the bike parks on the handful of rides i'll do there this year but be able to ride the trails well too. i know i have the spitfire for that but i don't like the idea of spending a lot of money a bike i can only ride occasionally.Didn't think about the dark side?
that's why my one bike for all is teh uzzi. the darkside is high on my list for next bikes. there's really nothing else (somewhat mainstream) out there right now in that range.yes, but the more research i did on it the more i found it isn't going to be a good bike for the trails too. the rune sounds like it can handle a bike park fine and it will have no problem w/the trails. the darkside looks awesome but i'm not able to get out to lift access parks enough right now to justify a dedicated DH bike or park bike. so i need something that can handle the bike parks on the handful of rides i'll do there this year but be able to ride the trails well too. i know i have the spitfire for that but i don't like the idea of spending a lot of money a bike i can only ride occasionally.
well I rode the spitfire everywhere, I thought it made whistler more fun, I think it would be financially redic to have a spitfire and a rune.....but I don't know your purse strings...yes, but the more research i did on it the more i found it isn't going to be a good bike for the trails too. the rune sounds like it can handle a bike park fine and it will have no problem w/the trails. the darkside looks awesome but i'm not able to get out to lift access parks enough right now to justify a dedicated DH bike or park bike. so i need something that can handle the bike parks on the handful of rides i'll do there this year but be able to ride the trails well too. i know i have the spitfire for that but i don't like the idea of spending a lot of money a bike i can only ride occasionally.
What about getting a 180mm bike to complement the Spitfire?Thanks for the feedback guys. I agree, it is costly to have two bikes so closely related. I love the Spitty so I am hesitant to replace it but that may be the smarter move. Get the Rune as the one do all bike and put money into parts for lighter or heavier builds depending on the type of riding I will be doing that day.
because its got electrolytes?I love when threads get bumped and it takes me 10 minutes to realize I'm reading posts from 3 years ago.
time well spent!
