[Ivan]

Fun-ness is one of those intangible qualities of a bike.

Which 140mm-160mm Trail/AM bike have you ridden the you found most fun?

Which 140mm-160mm Trail/AM bike have you ridden that you the least fun?

What was it about the bike that you think gave it this feeling?

Ill update the poll as people post and discuss.

You might get this a lot.......Spitifre for the win!!
My other am bike is a commencal Meta 1 but the Spitty kills it.

Note: CCDB Air CS is a must!

SB6c..........

Damn, can edit the poll.

What do you like about those bikes??? is it just that you paid a lot of money for them and it's confirmation bias? Did you test ride many other bikes?

Seeing as your a mod, can you edit the poll for me?

And, no-one says "why" in that thread. What makes the Spitfire fun.

Now your just over thinking it! Just get one already.

Haha. The main thing that stopped me was the lack of bottle cage mounts :crazy:


Aaaand my last Banshee experience.

I voted 8. I don't know what it was, but it had the most votes already and seemed like a safe option.

My 2015 Rune has bottle cage mounts on the underside of the downtube. Not sure about the Spitfire though.

My 2014 Spitty has them under the down tube.

It's intangible.

I don't get the whole bottle mount thing. Who doesn't need more water than can be carried in a bottle?

Haha. That's what I'm worried about. All the Rune V1 owners raved about that bike, so I bought one and it turned out to be a pretty average bike.

I found packs were causing me to overheat, so I now carry two bottles. SWAT bibs FTW. I'm thinking af giving packs another go, but that cheap spitfire frame is gone so..... meh.
