I am 6'3" and 285lbs. I am riding a trance 2, and loving it. I am questioning if I got the right bike for my riding style thought. I ride 5 days a week hard xc ( lots of bunny hops, and small drops 1 ft or less ). I want to get into bigger stuff, but am concerned about damaging my new bike. What would be the largest jump or drop that I could consistantly do without harming my bike.

trance 2 is a pretty stiff bike, but your a pretty big boy. i would check to see how much travel your shock is getting off the 1' drops. if it's bottoming out off the 1'ers, then you might damage it off something bigger. If you still have alot of travel left after the 1'ers, then i say go for something bigger:thumbsup:
