Hi, I want to hear your suggestions about some full suspension Dirt Jump bikes.
I'd prefer to buy a complete bike and i'd want it not so expansive so tell me your suggestions.
thanx ...

 

[fiddy_ryder]

whats your $$ limit to spend?

 

[FreeWilly]

I dont want to spend more than 1500 $ CAN

(if its possible)

 

[fiddy_ryder]

well most dirt jumpers are hard tails....id suggest looking for a used free ride bike.. Iron horse 7 points. Santa cruz bullits. Kona stinkys or dawgs. Cannodale Gemini's. Sepc Enduro's..

Why full suspension? Dirt jumping has smooth transitions. Or maybe this is gonna be a multi-purpose bike for trails, freeride and dj. In that case, full suspension wouldn't be bad. but for dj, street stuff, a hardtail is best. more flickable, lighter, pedal easier. anyway, back to sugestions. full suspension- Kona Howler (sorry, it's $2000 cdn but it's sweet.) Looking around, I can't seem to find any really good quality fs dirtjumpers that are 1500 and under. maybe I missed some. That's also a good thing about buying a hardtail- they are way cheaper.

i really like the kona howler and the norco 4x4.

 

[Tracerboy]

if your looking for a low travel full susp. dj/4x rig then it will be hard to find one for 1500. tell more about what you want to do with the bike, if its just dj's get a hardtail

 

[StinkyOne]

The Path Bike shop has both a medium and a large (04 or 05 I can't remember) Norco 4X4 for $1250. I reallly like the way that bike is built. Super tough. Contact them at www.thepathbikeshop.com

Thanx for all your suggestions . I want a FS because I like to go make some downhill too but I do the most of my riding at my local DJ track so that's why ... and I want to follow my friend when we're DownHilling ...

 

[FreeWilly]

I'd want a bike like this one ...

but i know it's only a prototype ...

 

[cummings]

Then if ya wanna do some dh, save some extra bucks and get a kona howler. perfect match for some dh and dj

 

[cummings]

let us know what ya decide on.
p.s. another option I just thought of is to go the heavy duty hardtail route. The Banshee Morphine!
On banshee's website, it's under the "Freeride Ultimate" section and "dirtjump" section. Pretty good match for you if ya don't mind doin alittle dh on a hardtail.

Not going to be real great for DH either.

How bout a Cowan DS

Hmm... One of my posts didn't turn up. I wanted to say that he wanted a complete bike, not a frame only.

 

[Fillmoe Slim]

How bout' one of these. I'm fixin to get one this month for something a little more all around than my 05 Cowan.

 

[mxrider489]

That preston is sick

 

[FreeWilly]

Thanks a lot but all these bikes are pretty expansive ... and maybe I could buy the frame only because I have a norco bigfoot 2005 but one chainstay has bent when I was hit by a car so maybe I could change the frame and keep my pieces ... ?? give me more suggestions I really like it !

 

[FreeWilly]

What do you think about this ??? it's an all mountain but maybe ... i don't know ...

EDIT: I just saw the price ... forget it !

 

[finchy]
