What would you say about a DHX Air 5.0? Thinking of buying one but not sure if it would feel satisfactory



Not quite done still waiting for the Ultimate/Code brakes,Carbon e.13 Backplate, some nice DH Tire and the Straitline stem from the flood sale

I like graphics on top tube
How does CF backplate look like? Is it handmade?

 

[demo]

Like this: not finished, some holes, and then some more sanding. When its done I will post it again.

im assuming youre not going to use the taco, right? wouldnt think home made carbon would take a hit if you were.

That's a really interesting build, I like it. Where did you get the ultimate/code set-up?

edit - forget about the dhx air, it'll feel like a$$ in comparison.

 

[dhmike]

looks good .

 

[PhilipW]

Carbon will NOT hold up to any sort of taco-impact. Weight savings can be done safely in lots of other areas...so I'd suggest at least keeping a regular aluminum backplate in your toolbox for when the carbon goes.

Best of luck!

Very purdy!

 

[time-bomb]

the graphics look killer and i dig the custom brake set-up.

forget about the DHX Air. if you really want air and if it will fit, try the Roco Air WC.

 

[demo]

@Philw86 The Carbon Plate will be used without a Taco, fortunetly the Taco didnt have any contact with the ground this or last season so i might just use the Carbon Plate and keep the original plate in my tool box.

I got the white Ultimate/Code setup from someone here in Germany used, I hope they will be there by Friday want to test them in Leogang

The Roco Air doesnt fit without filling down a bit from the Frame Might just go with a DHX 5.0 oder a RS Vivid, but the DHX Ai 5.0 ist still very tempting :/

I gotta tell you, that is the hottest looking demo I have ever seen! The 08 graphics sucked but those are pimp. The hot orange/red paint job is so clean!!

Props

 

[ocelot]

are you really gonna ride that? lol

 

[jcaramia]

Nice SUNDAY!

woops, I mean Demo..

 

[Sshields32]

fresh graphics on the TT. Why the 6 speed casette? weight?

 

[RUFUS]

I ride my Ultimate/Elixir CR combo on my 303R and love it, best of both brakes.

I had a set of Ultimates lying around so I put them together. Nothing special but boy what a difference.

That bike look great!

 

[juanbeegas]

That's hot! Are those custom stickers on the frame?
If you want an air shock, try the ISX-6. The DHX Airs are sh!t.

 

[demo]

The Frame + Fork looks pretty new... because they are Had a SX Trail the last two seasons and I thought it was time for a bigger bike. Cant wait to ride it this weekend, hate it when my bike looks so clean, but had to use the opportunity to take a shot of it

Im really looking forward to try the Ultimate/Code, I was riding a Code front and Juicy back combo for a long time now.

6 speed, mostly because I dont really need the top three gears maybe Ill put them back on.

Yes, i got these decals printed at a local copyshop didnt like the original decals.
