lol.

remember the video, jackson runs his bike to kindergarten?

now he's doing this

No moneh, dun steal la...(kesian Angah, his bike also got stolen worth RM12k)

I use 1.5 yrs only need serbis...
U use 3 months ... need serbis...

Yeah... You think.....
theoretically.... all bike is rideable.
During ECC, someone was using a hardtail to go down the steepest DH section and made it.

It really depends on what u wanna do.
And what u like...

1) I like to climb - Hardtail
2) I want a bike to do everything - All Mountain
3) I want to feel the adrenaline when downhill but still have no choice but to cycle up... - Scratch Air
4) I don't care... I just want to go downhill fast fast fast - Downhill bike ... DUHHHH

Every bike has its pros and cons.
So... which one u want to enjoy most?

I lol-ed

Seriously... I donno what other bike same category ma...

I think Scratch Air is all-mountain... I think la...

80 - 100mm = Pure XC
120 - 140mm = XC/Trail
140 - 150mm = All-mountain
160mm = All-mountain/Mini-DH
180 - 203mm = DH and Freeride

Scratch Air is 170mm.
Don't be fooled by the travelling of ur bike...
The geometry is very important.

Kona Coilair and Scratch Air is having the same travel. But when it comes to climbing... Scratch can climb better.

GUYS thanks for your support in the Final year ofBurung hantu You are lucky to have rode this trail. for those whom did not join. sorry to say there are no more ride unless we can get more volunteers. Also no one was in coma in ECC jamboree. the guy has no broken ribs. just minor pain in chest.
Our ride is easy as we expected 1800 riders. We also had small kids to join as it's a TKMBD and we had IMBA to help us.

Anyway thanks for the support

80~100mm = DJ/Slopestyle too!

marcus 160mm tabao adrian 120mm when climb

Travel you can control with your body. as long you don't pump crazily then should be good on flat and smooth climbs.

i sked to ride with u all la... all veli pro already..

Yeah, agree with the geometry, what I stated is just a general way of categorizing travel

Ok, lupa pasal DJ and slopestyle

Great tip

Even nina also know geometry is the key, that's why he chooses exitway.

Thanks for the nice event. If wan volunteers next year, can come here shout next year.

waokay...

I ve heard from a few people...one of it from a guy working at a reputable bike shop (cant mention names la)....which is why I asked here..

I am using HT at Kiara....reason I asked is ...if I WERE to move to FS....should I go for a Trail bike or an All Mountain bike...I think theres difference in terms of cost and weight between the 2....anyway...the change wont happen so soon...still a lot to learn with my HT

Thats sad to know....one of the best organized event I have to say...maybe the best

Saw Chamelion and Maxguy ripping down Kiara with their XC HTs before. My dream would just to be able to follow them close enough. That would be a big achievement for me.

Ridden with Reza on his Trance before. No where to be found, but I follow his traces by looking at tire marks on the walls and trees. Yeah, he's so fast mud doesn't stick to his bike.

The two otais here with the Garu-Garu, no need to say la... with their AM/FR long travel bikes, climb also much faster than me on a moto, descending? They'll be 1/2 way washing their bike by the time I reach liow lo...

Hehe... theoretically, any travel would do. Malaysian trails not as gnarly as overseas'. But with more travel (and a good geometry ), descending downhill is much more fun.
And I think I know which bike shop you're talking about
