The first two days of
InterBike are devoted to testing out any bike you want! Good thing it's not open to the public or it would be packed!
OK. The bikes I tested go
something like this.
1.
Norco Fluid SE. This bike was light, responsive and
versatile! Fully decked out with new
XTR kept it feeling tight.
2.
Haro Xeon. A bit more
XC than I expected. not to
drop able but fast as all-
getup3. Turner
RFX w/ a Cane Creek Double Barrel. This bike would've been perfect if was 2 lbs lighter. But I'm being picky.
4. Foes 2:1
xct.(
curnut rear shock) This bike was fun, a good do all on the
xc side.
5. Scott Gambler.
Unfortunately this bike had seen about 2 months of demo-
ing between Euro-bike, Canada's demo days and
Interbike. It was basically busted up. Not fun. If it was working, It would be an
awesome point-and-shoot monster on the
descents!
6.
Purgatory w/ Cane Creek DBL barrel. Heavy but pedaled well. The rear shock was flawless on this bike. Unreal.
7. A-line Park edition. The new 888 up front was killer! This bike was my favorite! So confident and fun! I took it on 3 DH runs. Nice.
8. Santa Cruz
bullit w/ Chris king hubs and h-set. The hubs and head set were dialed perfect, the bike was not. To stiff. It felt like a
XC bike.
9. Carbon Ransom by Scott. Sick bike. Very fast! The travel says all mountain but it really is a
XC bike. So fast.
Road
1.
Kuota K.O.M. So stiff, fast and light but... to stiff for every day riding. Every Crack felt like a pot hole. Every vibration made it to your spine! But, Sausage! It was fast!
2. Scott Addict R2. This bike had the new
Dura-ace wheels with
tubeless tires. This was smooth and fast! This bike a 10/10!
The pictures will be up on the web site in a couple of days!
