    Should I get a vivid air?

    I rode one this season and it was awesome. No problems at all and I rode almost everyday between beginning of june to mid september.

    Lyrik or Deville for park use?

    I've been riding the Idylle and NDee since they came out and have been super happy with them and you're right, I want to save weight on my next bike. Basically something I can pedal for a bit on my way home on some AM trails on my way home from the park. The reason why I started thinking about...

    Lyrik or Deville for park use?

    At the moment I'm riding a full blown downhill bike bur I'm thinking of building up something lighter and more playful. I figure something around 170mm of travel should be good, like an Antidote Lifeline nano or something like that. But when it comes to choosing a fork I'm a bit confused...

    RS Vivid Reliability

    Every single Vivid coil in town has been sent back for warranty this summer. There seems to be something seriously wrong with them. They've all been on Demos and Nukeproofs if that makes a difference. On the other hand the Vivid Airs have been without fault, go figure.

    Looks like a nice bike but "Sickest DH bike ever?", Nah. I don't get it, what's so sick about it?

    DH helmet vs MX helmet

    I think this article left out a really important aspect of head protection, rotational forces which causes a lot of damage on your brain. As far as I know only Poc has taken that seriously with their MIPS-system. If they weren't so damn ugly I would wear one (fashion over brain!) but I really...

    DH frame that looks like a hardtail.

    I'm looking for a DH frame that almost looks like a hardtail that I saw a year ago or so. It only looked like that when the suspension when the suspension wasn't compressed of course but it was a really clean looking bike. I think the brand might have been german and they were available with Bos...

    Continental Kaiser Redesign?

    Der Kaiser was a real confidence-boost when I put them on. The grip is unreal compared to the Minions I've been riding the last few seasons. But they roll slower and wear faster, the middle knobs on the rear comes loose in the weirdest way, almost like they are cut at the bottom. Could have...

    Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5 Exo/Ardent 2.4 Exo on DH bike

    Maybe he is, or maybe we have too many rocks here, or he's not as smooth as you or maybe he rides harder. Who knows, all I know is that I won't try it after seeing his.

    Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5 Exo/Ardent 2.4 Exo on DH bike

    My buddy tried running them but kept wrecking the rear tire. he weighs 132lb so I figure that if he can't use them no full size people should waste their time with them. I had high hopes for this since it seemed like the perfect way to save weight in the right place and cheap as well. Might...

    Troy Lee Designs / Shock Doctor gear review (ride and crash tested)

    Been running the 5850 a while now for MX and I am super satisfied. 6.2" 198lb and wear a large. Perfect fit. Can't even feel it's there. Removed Leatt and shoulder pads. Only downside might be that the spine protection is a bit short so if you want protection all the way down you might want to...

    Who doesn't like new (really new) stuff?

    maybe the inserts will stay in the new ones... that would be great.

    29.76 lbs Trek Session 88

    I don't think the Vivid air was available when he built the bike, at least not here, and the other air shocks seems a bit crap. When I when I saw the bike end of last season it seemed like it had held up just fine.

    The EVIL Revolt Tech. and Tuning Archive

    isn't the negativity centered around this thread? I don't think I've read much about it elsewhere. My personal experience of their customer support is A+ but it's always the same story on the internet, a few vocal people seems like a lot. I'm not saying there hasn't been problems with the early...
