i hate to be such a newb and post this but picking out my new ride has been such a PITA ive be racking my brain for the past couple weeks testing out bikes and throwing out ideas for new builds. this is where im at so far.
- i have a 4k budget
- i wont be pedaling up too many hills unless i have to
- this is a west coast/nor-cal bikes ie whistler and northstar and a few tamer local trails
- want it to be flickable but needs to be able to pin it on the dh
- needs to be able to hold its on on local dh races (sea otter, chdh, northstar)
- current choices are sxt, demo 7, intense ss, bottlerocket and a sinister r9 maybe built up with a shorter rear shock and a totem.
advice would be greatly appreciated. open to other options at this point
