Freeride/DH rig?

SamShaw

looking to buy a big rig in the next year

narrowed it down to ironhorse sunday elite (08) or commencal furious cg (09) and was wondering what these bikes are like and if anyone has any ideas.

also..
what size would i need in each, im about 5'11"

thanks

How about the Chumba F5? Worldcup class frame and build can be had for around the same money as the Sunday.

You'll get lots of info about the Commencal from:

Go sign up and pester those lot Given Iron Horse is going through such an awkward phase I'm not sure how solid their warranties are at the moment, I know Commencal are very solid in that department.

Dunno if I'd buy an Iron Horse at the mo given some of the problems they are rumoured to be having, re warranty support etc

yeah i know what you mean, they really are incredible bikes from what i've been told though

whats the furious like on more technical stuff?

I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but wouldn't the Supreme DH be more in line with the Sunday Elite?

i did have a look at the supreme but i would mainly be using the bike for bike park/freeride in the woods duties plus the kit for the same price is of a much lower spec so ultimately decided on the furious, but last year's sunday elite (with totem single crowns) is extremely tempting.

just the whole issue of warranties with ironhorse's current situation
