Date Reviewed: March 16, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Bissen-Trail Wallis, Switzerland | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | CrashCycles, Bern | | Strengths: | Super plush, extremely potent rear suspension system (dw-link), loads of travel yet still light and nimble enough for technical uphills and long, epic rides. Best trail performance ever experienced. Massive fun on the downhills! | | Weaknesses: | None so far... | | Similar Products Used: | Turner 5 Spot, Specialized Enduro, Santa Cruz Blur (LT), Scott Ransom, Giant Reign, Iron Horse MKIII | | Bike Setup: | Bought the 6Point8 Framekit and built it up from scratch: RS Lyrik U-Turn, X-9, Avid Ultimate, DT Swiss Wheels, Thomson, Truvativ | | Bottom Line: | This bike definitely rocks! Smooth, predictable, nimble and VERY fast down the hill. Aggressive if need be without sacrificing control. An absolute blast in thight, technical bends. The Sunday pedigree can be felt every second!
But there is more. Thanks to the relatively light wheels, the U-Turn fork and the perfect rear suspension, the 6Point is light enough to pedal uphill for hours. It is hard to beat on any kind of singletrack and the rougher it gets the better the IH performs.
This bike is the right choice for everybody who seeks a bike that is mainly one thing: endless fun on the trails!
It won't disappoint you on the uphills, and if you choose the parts wisely it will even be a pleasure to climb that next steep hill to rip the yet another divine trail back down. It WILL deliver on the downhills and at the occasional bike park trip. No doubt there! And it WILL make your mates envious to see how much fun you had in all those trail sections where they were doing nothing more than struggling and stumbling all over.
I will try to post another review after some more months of riding the 6Point. Right know I can't help being extremely chuffed with my new ride! A bit enthusiastic, you say? Go and ride one of these. Then try to come back without that extremely BIG smile! Just try... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
