Hi All,
I'm thinking about picking up a used XCE or new Burner. I'm getting over a back injury and want to try riding FS. I figure a Turner is the way to go since resale is so good. If my back's not up to it I chalk it up to a not-so-expensive experiment.
I know XCE's may not have the best resale right now but I like the fact that they seem to be a heavy duty 4" bike. I also like the fact they were built around coil rear shocks.
I've been reading in the archives all morning and don't think I understand the XCE completely. I would like to know the 1) top tube length, 2) seat tube angle, and 3) head tube angle of the medium XCE.
Also, what is the stock rear travel of the XCE. Always 4", correct?
Also, I'm not sure if I completely understand the benefit of the Romic rockers on the XCE. No change in geometry or travel, but allows one to get 4" with the Romic shock?
Sorry for such basic questions. I've been totally out of the MTB loop while recovering from this injury and have not kept up on this stuff.
