Looking at a full susser and these two have come up for sale.
Will be buying second hand.
I'm a big bloke 6'4'' approx 16 stone, any opinions on which one would be the better choice
Thanks

Which Idrive and for what terrain? Any chance to test them out?0

Not sure which idrive, local bike shop is sorting me out one of their ex demo's. Will mainly be doing trail riding, forestry type stuff, not too many up's and down's but lots of bumps. The kona is off another forum, so not able to try that one out, though at 19 inch frame should be a good fit. Yes I am rambling....
Which one would you go for?

Coiler could be overkill for that sort of riding, and without knowing which idrive exactly, can't say about that either!
For size, really need to try one out as sizes vary between brands.
I have an Idrive ID4 3.0, great bike for woods and trails. Just four inch of travel, but plenty for me.0 -
I'm 6.1 and have a I drive xcr5 18"
It's bloomin perfect for me and the ride position is great, very upright and too comfy for it's own good.. I could almost fall asleep on it...
If that's any help...0 -
The XCR5 or 4 seems about the right sort of trabvel for that riding. Pity there is no 5 inch Idrive for 2009, just the 6 and 4.
Idrives pedal a lot better than Konas - you can put the hammer down through rocky sections and get minimal pedal kickback.0
