Hi Guys,

After much deliberation ive deceided to sell my Pace 303 and buy a full susser.

Looking at Titus Motolite, Cove Hustler, Orange 5 or a Foes XCR or XCT, anyone got any experience/problems/praises for the above as im a bit torn, been testing as many as i can, only have the Foes and cove left to test after liking the other 2 and ruling out others such as Rockymountan ETSX, Turner 5 spot.

Rode the titus yesterday and it was lovely, just felt a bit flexy at the rear

cheers guys

    Out of interest why didn't you like the ETSX?

    found it very sketchy. Probably the shops fault, worst tyres ive ever ridden on, the bars were too narrow and the stem too long, i just hayed the way it handled, suspension felt great tho but it just wasnt the right bike for me.

    Intense 5.5?

    Motolite is a very sweet bike indeed. As is a Hustler. Maverick ML8 is a great bike as long as you are not looking at it.

    Pity you have ruled it out, I have an ETS-X70 and think it is excellent. I replaced the bars with Easton EA70 and the stem with a Thomson 90mm Elite x4, I also dumped the tyres after one ride (was it the IRC Mythos?) as they had very little grip. Youare talking about spending a lot of money, would be worth getting the shop to make a few changes and try it again.

    Of course not everyone likes the same thing and maybe one of the other bikes is more suited to you, great list of bikes to be choosing from and am sure whatever you choose from in the end will be good.[:)]
