140mm full suss - £2k ish

compo

As in the title really.

I'm looking for a 140mm/150mm trail bike, agressive would be good

Got about £2k to spend but may stretch to £2.5k for the right bike.

650b ideally but happy to go with a 26er for a good deal. No to 29ers.

Ideal scenario would be to get a Pike on the front too.

Oh and I don't want to go second hand.

Other than that, any suggestions?

Cheers

2.5k - Nukeproof Mega TR Comp in 27.5 - 160 front, 130 rear, pike included I dont see how this fails the test.

Canyon Spectral but you'd have to stretch the budget further top get pike.

Giant Trance?

Rose Granite Chief 2? Starting at about 2k with a Pike fitted.

As Paul said or the Nukeproof Mega AM Comp 27.5 for a bit more travel on the rear (160mm front and back).

If I was in the UK I'd also be getting a NP Mega TR - they've got Pro's with Revs on CRC for about £1800, sell the Rev as new and get a Pike if you've got your heart set on that fork - still should come out under £2K

...but as I'm in the Alps I'd probably go for a YT Wicked Comp for that budget

compo

Thinking of the YT Wicked Comp, don't think you can say no at that price.

Anyone got any experience of dealing with them?

Spoke to 3 English guys at least years Mega, and they were all rating them very highly.

My mate has just got a YT Wicked Comp but he's yet to use it (just got back from Chatel on his Entourage). Looks amazing though.

went to their shop today to look at one but they have sold out of them until some time next week which is a bummer. but I ended up at the cyclewise shop at whinlatter and have fallen in love with the limited/special edition 2014 mondraker foxy r.

Have been some issues with frame cracking around the mech hanger on the Capra. YT have now addressed with a design update which all new orders will come with. Good looking bikes and great spec for the money though.

Bird Bikes are due to release a good valve FS bike very soon which should also prove to be good valve.

Showing £1,645 over here - I knew they give different prices if your in France but that is some serious discount right there!

benpinnick

That would be a mega (Excuse the pun) bike for that money.... If you aren't in a real hurry the new Aeris 140/150 will be out towards the end of the year and £2300 would buy you an SLX level bike (with our normal XT/XTR bits and Evolve/Turbine build Kit) with a Reverb stealth & Pike 150 RCT3.... £2500 and your talking full XT and Turbine 35 build

I think some pictures of said bike are needed in the prototype enduro bikes thread, you know the rules!

next week.... we'll be revealing all next week.

Just ordered the Mega TR comp from these guys myself, the delivery is taking a while but thumbs up to Richard there for ringing up with an updated ETA. 0% finance on the discounted prices too, can't go wrong really

Still £2399.99 in the U.K. You lucky blighters!

paul.skibum

Comes up at $2,700 in Canada (call it 1700 quid) but there would be taxes on it coming into Canada.

felix.london

yeah, obviously don't have that problem in France. Only thing is rear travel is a bit short for around here so none of the guys I'm riding with are interested but looks perfect for some hard hitting UK riding

rockmonkeysc

Its a stupid bike (in a good way). The French don't deserve discounts like that.

benpinnick

To be fair - now I get the chance to look with that spec it really only deserves to be the price it is in France- god knows why its 2400 in the UK!

Angus Young

Everything costs more in this country. We're a soft touch.
