I'm in the market for a new trail bike, my 37 pound freeride tank is overkill. I have a potential buyer so its time to start hunting around. I like the general lines and am a big fan of FSR suspension.
I live in extremely rocky and steep terrain, but the climbs are big too and I don't want a tank. I need a light bike with good travel and a somewhat slack head angle.
The head angle in 5" mode is 69deg for a SJ FSR 120. Which is a little quick maybe? The weight should be sub 30 which is ideal.
My other option is a Spec. Enduro 150mm. I'm concerned this would be too heavy (a mistake I've made too many times), and it is a good deal more expensive.
Anyone have some quality saddle time on the SJ 120? Likes, dislikes? Any feedback on the Enduro would help too. Include a terrain desc. too please
I have access to Giant as well, but don't care for their offerings. Don't bother suggesting Santa Cruz, Trek, anything else. My shop doesn't carry it and will cost too much
