I've gotta hand it to you yoohoo, you've got great tastes in bikes. All you need now is an S-Works Enduro to complete the trio!

Try and have a go at comparing the two.

BTW did you get the Pitch in the classifieds also?

ha ha, yes it is rather coincidental that we've ended up with almost the same bike shed!

I'm going to put the Pitch up for sale after Easter.

I rode both on the Descent Line and the black run at Stainburn yesterday (my friend borrowed my Pitch for the day).

I was a bit quicker overall on the Pitch over the black run, but that's mainly because there's some steep, techy climbs that burst your lungs.

But since I got rid of the Shore One, I've missed being able to drop off things The Bullit fills that gap nicely!

As for the Descent Line, it was really windy across the boulder field, so it was hard keeping speed up, but I absolutely nailed it on the Bullit. Had some really good rhythm going between the drops and berms, it felt great!

Wooowww :shock:

woah. that bullit is so nice especially in the green colour and totems

yoohoo999

thanks guys

i wish i could get a proper picture of the Bullit, the green is MUCH more vivid in real life, it's just my shoddy camera skills that made it look that colour.

I'll try and get a better shot.


Cheese, the Totems are nuts! When I first rode them I thought "wow, i'm going through this travel way too easily", but then I realised that it's just really progressive. I dropped the big rock at Stainburn on Sunday (which is about 5 or 6ft I think) and I didn't bottom out.

Mission Control is also pretty cool, being able to lock out a 7" travel fork is handy for the climbs!

I'm sticking a DHX 5.0 Air on the rear soon.

have you sold the pitch?

Would you recommend the Fox 36 Vans? I've heard that on the whole RS are better at forks compared to Fox and im looking to upgrade my Pikes that came on my 2010 pitch pro

Lapierre t 400

if you decide to sell would you consider sell the forks seperatly
