I've got SX5 on my hardtail, had X7 on my old coiler, and have X7 on the new operator. I've never been let down by any of them, and the only advantages of the X0 on my 2stage are the super-short cage that isn't available on the cheaper stuff, and the weight.

jazzeph1, the start of the article asks for opinions, don't criticize people for GIVING OPINIONS. Incidentally, I come to pinkbike for bikes, not moto. Don't much like moto tbh, too noisy :P

One of my favourite tracks in the park that one :D

Why do you guys sound south african when you're sped up?

Thanks Tifo, I was wondering how that happened.

taka there's an official remix album of the Tron Legacy soundtrack, and some of it, like this track, is actually pretty good.

It is cheap because they haven't paid for any of the R&D on their frame designs, in fact to me it looks like they're selling off old stock (the forks equipped on the DH bike, what was the Iron Horse Yakuza Kumicho, are definitely not post-2007 zocchis). Inexpensive does NOT mean bad quality. Intenses are sold at higher prices because they are made in a country with high labour costs, and very R&D driven. There are more variables here to consider than just cost-quality correlation, don't be so naive as to assume that's all there is to it.

They haven't paid for any of the R&D on these frames, and all you guys moaning about not having piece of mind, bikes are too fucking expensive as it is, do NOT bash a company for producing good, inexpensive bikes. I do not resent them for trying to corner the market there, it might even force the big players to reconsider their ever-increasing prices.

Medusa manhattan?
