Absolutely love the colour. Have you thought about swapping the weirfolf tyre to the front? They carve corners well up front.

That's a pretty nice colour.

Don't suppose you happen to have a weight for it? I'm kinda looking at a Halo 1 (Basically a Yukon FX with some upgraded kit) since I probably can't afford a Trance X3, but I haven't been able to find some decent weights for them.

About 14-15kgs. It is a really nice bike to ride. Only thing i hate are the forks,but ill get a new set soon. Maybe some white Fox forks will look nice??

That's not as bad as I thought it'd be, I was expecting something more around the 17kg range. What size frame?

Definitely stick with black forks. Orange + black = sexy, orange + white = not sexy.
