    Oh Maxlights are getting some press....

    XCPro2 is brillliant on roads and off. It seems to take hits quite well too and according to Kinesis UK, is a very stong frame that can take small jumps etc.. too.

    see my sig :wink:

    maxlight anyday :D great bikes that can do so much more than racing, my xc120 has done the fort bill dh course and peaty's training grounds at wharncliffe no probs
  • I built up a mint XC120 and took it to Afan a couple of times it was fine on the Trails, we did Skyline and The Wall. Only thing that killed it was an accident involving a height barrier in a dodgy welsh Services :oops:

    They build up pretty light too.
