Hi all,
Quick question, usual story - I'm about to buy a full-sus bike for my wife and reckon I'm down to two:
- Myka FSR Comp
- Trek Fuel EX 5.5 WSD
Obviously there's a marginal difference in travel - I think the Myka's 100mm and the EX is 120mm - but this isn't a significant issue.
Anyone got any thoughts on which is better?
Thanks

Has she tried them out? On paper both very good bikes - but I wouldn't buy one without trying it.0

Excellent point. LBS doesn't have the 5.5 in stock though so we'd have to order it in... I don't want to mess them about if there's a clear view that one's better than the other. :?0

Its more about getting the right size really - even if its just a quick sit on 2 or 3 sizes!
The specs are so close - the trek has the better shock, the Myka maybe the better brakes, but it is splitting hairs. It will come down to feel.
Some shops can do sale or return so worth asking if they can get you one in to try out.0
