How about some more info. Price range? Riding style? Do you want a racebike?
prophet 4x, intense tazer, foes fxr. Are you looking for a fully or hardtail 4x bike?
check out the planet x split-tail. great price, nice adjustability and solid overall feel.
Yeti Dj should be on your list.
personally im gonna go with a tazer when i get the cash. saw a mba's build and well it was :hot: and i absolutly love the frame. just me though.
We have an 05 Blk Mkt MOB , and an 04 DMR sidekick for sale

Depends on what you are looking at. Long stable, low is what most people prefer. Something with a 42" WB, 12" BB, 16" stays (HT), 17" with most fullys.
I'd say a tazer is a good look, kona has the cowan and howler frames that are simple and inexpensive, specialized SX, morewood ndiza is a good frame.
hardtail wise, yeti dj, morewood ndiza ht, cannondale chase, specialized p3 are all good choices.

I have a Planet X Splittail and would definitely recommend getting one. I would buy it again in a second if it got stolen or something. Rides and jumps really nice. Or if you're a kid it is hella sick. You can get some more info at zedsport.com and also teamplanetx.com They also have a lot of different build options, just email the guy.
Get a hardtail. It's faster in 4x. Look at Brian Lopes, he won just about everything last year on his hardtail. With the money you'll save you can get a good, light, and short fork and some killer wheels. 4x is all about getting to the first corner fastest, and you really don't need a lot of suspension to do that well.
Check out a Chameleon, Black Market MOB, Cannondale Chase, Yeti DJ, etc. There's a ton of good bikes out there.

lopes also rocks a full suspension every now and again. yeh hes one of the few pros that rocks a hardtail but a hardtail isnt gonna be fast than a full suspension if the full suspension is set up right. also the suspension kinda makes up for mistakes or in my opinion it does. i think its all personal preference and i think a full suspension will make the ride a little bit better if you dont exactly make a double or you clear it to flat that extra suspension is always gonna help things. just my opinion.
the split tail is probably one of the best bikes i've ever ridden, can't go wrong with one of those. if you are a light person, go with a small jamis dakar. i used to have one for light freeride and 4x racing, it was so awesome. you should really just test bikes and see what you like best. keep in mind, that most 4x bikes are used for a couple seasons then replaced, so don't get something really expensive.
