Benders decent. Klassen, bearclaw, simmons, ect. just seem to me to be far smoother, far better riders. Maybe bender would improve on 8", as far as skills go. I think he should have to ride hardtails for a while, and then he would improve vastly, or give up riding the hardtail, and go back to his 12" front and back machine.

Good for you that you tried it, i, however, dont see any need for 12". 7-8 do me just fine. To each his own i guess. :think:

Bender's actually pretty good considering his size. He's pretty light (weight) compared to the others you mention, and that just makes it all the more easier for trail irregularities to buck him off balance. Being heavier (but still agile) is an advantage cause it forces your suspension to do soak up more badness as opposed to transferring it up the frame.

No its wasnt, the threads on super dooper monsters.

Just dont land any drops to flat, as you may rip the head tube off thanks to the super slack head angle. super dooper...

Its funny how everyone puts the super monster down but I would bet no one has actually ridden one. Maybe its not overkill for this guy. I would never want one but then again Ive never ridden it. Id like to take one out for a test run.


Lets see some pics.....

yea, its cool about all the put downs and stuff, i totally expected it, i just wanted to get some feedback about the fork and what you guys thought about it, im going to take some pix of the bike with my buddies camera and hopefully you could check it out, the 9" in the rear even it out a little more then the hardtail pic...lol....i took it for a ride a couple times so far, i took it off a first drop off by a bank, and it was only a 6 footer, i just wanted to warm up, and i didnt even feel it, so im trying some good trails now, now i can make my own trails down mountains...its insane, ill get some pix of me riding it too, or ill try.

I had an 03 200mm Monster and I thought it was way too heavy and complete overkill. I hated the angles it created on my Bullit, too, but hey, different strokes. As long as you like your equipment, who cares?

I gotta agree. Sheesh, give the dude a break. Thanks to all the haters, he probably got a good deal on it. I have an '02 Monster on my Scream and there are steep and rocky grades that make me wish for more fork...not that I could afford it. Granted, I am a steeps pvssy especially in rockgardens, but if you have the coin, why the hell not? Today's ridiculous overkill is tomorrow's rubber knife at a gunfight.

ya, don't let it bother you. tried a buddies super monster and couldn't believe how good it felt. he was riding an adjustable geo azonic, so the HA was actually pretty good, although the 18" bb height took a little getting used to. :eek:

You must be doing drops to flat, right?

I guess the only people who buy super monsters are the ones who never saw a video with true freeriders, like Simmons, Klassen, Berrecloth, Romaniuk. etc. I mean they all use 8 inch forks and go bigger then Bender and stick the landing. Don't get me wrong though, I'm sure Bender is a good rider.

Klassren simmons and romainuk suck Claw owns.

You ride a cove bike, that's crap...up there with crap like Kona.

Regarding other posts:
If the guy wants a super monster, fine! Let him get a super monster and play around with it. He might hate it and give it up or might love it and knock it down to 10" like he said. A lot of the equipment we ride is overkill...

...some of us are arrogant, bike-snob weight freaks and some of us don't give a **** what we ride as long as we have fun with it.

ps. sorry for my bad bad english and for bragging .. :) :)

pps. bender is (for me) the best mtb biker ever...


**** i was talking to guy from santa cruz and he told me that NEW v-10 (v-11 what ever) can not hold super monster, bechose head tube can handle only 200mm travel so if new bikes can not hold that kind of "power" what can i say about giant.... :dead:
