I thought you buy a dirtbike to ride directly into your HR office and do some burnouts?

 

[Pesqueeb]

I say go for it. If you don't like it, get another new bike. Everybody wins!

 

[jstuhlman]

you're gonna need to show your certificate for completion of dental school to procure that bad boy

 

[Jm_]

Pivot has something new coming out very soon. Rumor is aggressive/AM 29er.

 

[stevew]

buy a fucking parking space...

Parking spaces don't enduro though bro......

 

[Nick]

my buddy's has two on super sale at his shop. depending on what size you need it might be worth checking out.

$4k is a good deal for that bike/build.

with 18" chainstays and BOOst spacing i bet....

 

[CBJ]

No dropper post?

Why no Float X?

Not sure I think its the best looking bike it would be fun to try a new DW Link bike.

 

[cecil]

I rode a Mach 6 for a week and a Mach 4 for a week I liked the 6 a lot but I think that might be the old version the new one has stronger linkages

 

[Full Trucker]

If you're tall and like a bike to fit long in the TT then I would say "no dice" to the Pivot... at 6'2" even the XL Mach 6 isn't big enough for my preferences.

This. They're REALLY short.

great info.
am 5´8" so thats not a problem.

But knowing they are really short tips the scale towards the M.

As opposed to a small?

To give you an idea, the XL Mach 6 has a 1" shorter reach that my M Megatrail. They're fucking tiny.

 

[HAB]

I think it's less that, and more that they have no interest in going fast.

 

[Nick]

Im 5'11 and felt the large was 'ok' though no way in hell i could ride a medium.

 

[StiHacka]

How do those frames ride? When I had my Ibis HDs, I could not get rid of the feeling that they were just long legged XC bikes, stiffening under power and generally refusing to comply in rough stuff.

Like that.

 

[maxyedor]

Like dog shit.

Guy at work has one, and in all honestly, it feels like some of the wonky trail bikes that came out in the early 2000s, sort of close to correct, but that last 10% makes a huge difference.

 

[jstuhlman]

if you're set in buying from cc, they have a carbon bronson for about that price...

 

[ALEXIS_DH]

Like that.

now, this is a problem; and the main reason I want to replace my scott.
i dont like long legged trail bikes.. i like mini downhill bikes (like the nomad). am a bit of a point and shoot hack.

would a similarly priced (but lesser spec-ed) davinci spartan be a better option???

 

[jstuhlman]

yes

 

[canadmos]

Don't buy a parking space, sell your car for a beater that won't get stolen, buy Devinci with good components........win?

 

[HAB]

yes

a devinci with good parts runs for almost $6k. thats too much dentristry for me.
plus... its pretty heavy.
i borrowed a cheap one some time ago (setup with dual chainrings and 4 piston brakes); and it was over 34 pounds (!)...

I've pimped XC rides that weigh more than that... plus the Devinci has Nano Powder, if that's anything like it was in the 80s 32 pounds will feel like a thunderbolt.

So the YT Capra it is. Or a Giant Reign.
But you cannot do burnouts in offices with them. Just a reminder

 

[maddog17]
