A wolf in sheep’s clothing is the best way to describe it. A beautiful frame with a bad attitude for terrain. We spared no expense by choosing hydro formed 7005 tubing. The back-ends got 5.4” of travel so rough trails and the occasionally air time won’t be an issue. Sometimes on the mountain you find yourself somewhere you shouldn’t be. Well…hang in there and ride it out…because Da Pukka is with you. We strapped our BADR gusset on her, so she will take the hit with you and then pull you through. If you enjoy seeing small woodland animals drop their nuts and run in fear, Da Pukka is for you.

Duration Product Used:

Purchased At:

Strengths:
great geometry. Stiff and well put together
Weaknesses:
Might be a bit too heavy for the long climbs
Similar Products Used:
Giant AC2
Bike Setup:
Rock Shox Lyric fork, hayes nine brakes, Shimano saint gear, FSA moto-x Crankset.
Bottom Line:
Might be the absolute best AM/FR frame at this prize. A bit heavy if you plan to use it as a XC bike, but perfect for All mountain and freeride.
Rear shock is very plush and feels great after you "brake it in". It's not the best out there, but does the job suprisingly well. (it's a $760 frame for joans sake!)
Don't go with the old shimano derailours though. they are too loose and tends to slam into the rear frame.
Overall VERY please with this frame!
