Hi guys, need some thoughts especially if anyone has experience on both bikes,
Ive been looking on and off at an HD for sometime and also a SC TRc?
I got to have a quick spin on the dirt on 2 different build HDs both large frames yesterday and was impressed, size wise they were a perfect fit especially the cockpit setup that was similar to mine short stem wide bars.
The reason I haven' committed yet is I love both bikes, I know they are different, my riding and my local trails suit either, I know I can get away with less travel most of the time and 90% of my riding is local, I go pretty big but smooth.
What really attracts me to the HD is it's versatility 140mm/160mm with flip chips and shock change, If I went HD Id setup both options love to get into Enduros but its pretty rare here at the moment and our courses are still way to XC biased, hopefully that will change, I need to be able to climb as well as others or better especially on fire roads yuk but nessecary evil.
Hence the TRc?
So if anyone has had both frames, not worried about VPP vs DWL I like both, had both,
Currently ride a EVO stumpy unfortunately it"s just to long in the large so I struggle in some cornering situations even with a 40mm stem but I do like the bike though and medium is too small for me.
Had Push convert my Talas to a Float as well as work their magic. It feels great! Small bump sensitivity is much better after the tune (way less stiction).
You were laying that bike DOWN yesterday. There were a couple more where you were really flat! I think the water bottle adds about 1000% to the cool factor as well
The water bottle makes it for sure. But look how cool and breezy I look without the pack on! A few were flatter, but I got beat with the ugly stick in those, complete with tongue sticking out. Thanks for taking pics out there with your sweet phone - we'll catch you in the air next time.
@salespunk: In the first picture, did you ride that spot out? From the lifted rear wheel, the squeezed position of the front wheel and the full travel fork I fear you didn't!?
@JoeBMX: Yes, please re-shoot. Not that this sequence isn't impressing enough, we just love your photos anyway.
Just made this. Not all the bikes are HD's, but who's complaining about a crash compilation? Huge thanks to forum member and HD rider, RB for involuntarily contributing all his stacks in front of me :thumbsup:
tree fell across the trail, rather than clear it turned it into a jump. went back at night to test it out on the Mojo HD
