hi all,just wondering if anyone has anyone been up to kirroughtree,planning a ride there in a couple of weeks but a mate of mine is wondering should he take his genisis core 50 or santacruz bullit? whats it like?? cheers
I have done both the red and black routes on Hard Tails and Full sussers...I prefer the full susser though as it smooths out the rocky sections, namely the "Rocky Road" section, Hissing Syd, Jabberwocky, and Talnotry Hill....
I did it on my Cube LTD Race, and it was capable of doing of everything. Its not that rocky compared to others like Glentress. If i were to go again though i think id enjoy it more on a FS.

Got totally lost on my first visit a month ago - trail markers went something like 70... to 90... to 45... to 1... missed a shed load and never really knew where the hell i was going!

Its not very rocky, I was on my Pitch and my mate was on his HT neither of us wish we had went on different bikes.
Quite a long loop though (for a trail centre).

rocky? never seen any rocks @ GT and been riding there since before Stanes were thought about :roll:
Kirry can be ridden on a hardtail easily enough. I was using a 16yr old Bontrager until it gave up on me, now have a Blue Pig.
