Is this worth it? 4X frame

i need something to replace my hardrock, as i'm riding mostly 4X now, and the hardrock isn't really strong enough.

Has anyone ridden one of the azonics? what are they like?

That looks like a good deal, but would i be better buying the bike as a whole?


cheers guys

    Depends on what stuff you have on your hardrock.

    If some of its pretty good, get the frame, and then spend some
    more money on upgrading parts, that need upgrading.

    I was intending on keeping the hardrock for on the road and building up a frame from scratch

    In that case, better buying a whole new bike, would be cheaper,
    Dont know any 4x bikes to reccomend though,

    they're crap, but can be easily upgraded to some marzocchi 4x or some pikes

    Even better than the 666X Pro would be this BEAST if you could afford it
