Basically this is the list of frames/builds I can get locally that are trail/AM suited

I just wanted to run a poll to see what people say out of interest

I want to demo but can't demo all of them so was thinking I'd demo the top 4 or 5 on the poll

Thanks

    You forgot the final option - None of the above, on Planet X we already have hoverboards.

    I'd test ride the Bronson (or Heckler depending on budget first/preference for number of pivots second),
    The Mega, The Bandit and the Fritzz out of that list.

    Entirely based on things I've read/reviews and brand tartery rather than any experience of them mind!

    Noooo. Don't say that, I don't see many about and I like it this way. Does attract a fair bit of attention though which at times can get mildly irritating. They are

    Not got much input on any of those on your list though I'm afraid. Maybe need to give us some more information as to what you're looking for from the bike though, got a fair mix of 140-160mm bikes, what kind of stuff will it be used for and are you after an allrounder kind of bike, something that might climb better or something to unleash on the descents?

    Well I've decided the Fritzz is a definite demo as the prototype review is so good

    I guess I will be riding trails but I want to try enduro so I was thinking a burly build may be better so am now thinking the AM will be better suited than the TR nukeproof
