Just realized I posted this in the wrong thread before so I moved it here.

Hey guys I need some help deciding which bike to buy I'm looking for urban/skatepark riding maybe light trials and trails and I'm trying to decide between these two bikes.

the stp looks to be more built for park and urban. the p1 is kinda looking to be a longer travel, more freeride type rig. the stp has front and rear brakes(MUCH better for trails) compared to the p1's rear only.

i say go for the stp. its a more urban set up, but trail ridable. the argyle 318 would be the selling point for me. the best dj fork (besides the 408). much better for urban and dj than the pike on the p1. also the tires on the stp are more trail friendly than the ones on the p1.

Alright thanks thats what I was thinking too.I looked more closely at the p.1 and it has a 24 in rear wheel and a 26 in front?I dont know what thats all about.

yeah. i think with the combo of the taller fork and the smaller back wheel the geometry will be wayy off.
