4 out of 5 stars, and their take on TNT vs DW link. Interesting read.

The Bikeradar reviews are normally pretty good, one thing to note on there reviews they lump value ($$$ £££) in with the score review (which they always seem abit harsh with, suppose its wallet dependant)

Anyways reviewing the review, considering they've done 2000 miles on the bike the reviews abit on the short side :skep: , more pics would be nice :thumbsup:

Sounds like a solid review, nice to hear something more reasonable about the DW's performance compared to the previous design.

Homers don't have any comments on this review?

They had a much longer, much more affectionate review of the DW 5 Spot a while back as well.

Talk about a review with no real details.....

big deal...2000 hours. I am sticking with Cactuscorn's original review based on a 3 minute ride/crash

good point blue balls, a bunch of cut and pasted cliches from mtbr would have made it much more compelling

I must agree with there take on the cable rounting, it seems out of place and quite like sh!t. Other than that I'd say dogs bollocks, great review of a solid bike.

Nice neutral sounding review.

I wonder if the dw link really makes that much of a difference on a 4" travel bike.

Most people on this board who sing the praises of the DW Link Turner have never ridden one--or they rode one in front of their LBS with a hop of the curb.

Hmmm...lighter and just as capable/incapable (Price Point):thumbsup:

I think there's a lot to be said for the aesthetics of the Flux and knowledge that its manufactured out of a material that can not only take cycle induced forces but the non to incidental indirect forces associated with mountain biking.

Also there's a lot of angst and tears generated on these forums towards pricey products, the pricing of the yeti makes the flux look like a real bargain in comparison
