HAhaha....that one dont need balls...just wake up early...come from Sg Buloh before 8am....can get free hahah...but now I dunno la...they say entry fee going to increase at FRIM sit?


Demo before buying
Do bicycles in MY have demo days? ie like golf equipment whenever they launch new stuffs ? I dont think so right? knowing us Malaysians we ll probably try to sapu the rig halfway through the trail ...hahahah...

From a consumer pov I just dont get it...by right the more expansive the stuff...the more you ll need to test it first..ie: Cars, Golf clubs, etc....cause you ll be making a significant amount of investment on it...and testing on the road is not good enough right? But such is our plight here...because we tend to just splurge on what we impulsively want...shops are able to sell it without allowing actual demo...on the flipside...its not helped by consumer who will abuse it if the facility is there....heheh

LOL...they guy looks like he is shitting bricks

Either you re Singaporean or you work at KS cycles....
By the way...that shop...is KS cycle...u have it both here and in Spore...so what?

It aint gonna happen? I think it does happen...only not in Malaysia ...
Even Specialized also allow you to try la...but just on the road...
Am just saying as it gets more competitive it should benefit consumer...so if you can demo ok what ...but if you like to buy first and regret later ... by all means

Not riding am off to Penang...enjoy the ride guys...

You should ride there..soon I think it ll be off limits ...you dont want mosquitoes? FRIM la..if not dont ride ...stay at home

KH Cycle I mean u da man....

Prize war? and how is that bad for consumer? ok la u might not be from Spore and you know KHCycle...but u sure sound like u own a bikeshop ...or at least sayang the bikeshop so much ...well nothing wrong with that...but why will any bike shop give u a full blown cursing again?

Test ride and demos? emmmm how different are they? So u do think getting to test it first is good...wokeh

As they say it here...u must be one powah rider to outride those mozies

Sorry, You lost me at off road...

this bike looks familiar la heheh...

Agree...the rear is ...uuurrgghhh ...buruk
And is this a kids bike? or a Hobbits bike?

Ok what ....its very very very informative

If you like the Mondraker you may like this:

Everytime you ride also ...people will say "Look!"

Probably the integrated seatpost is design for those WC XC races...those guys hardly adjust the seatpost during races....the racing saddle also narrower...so they shift back and forth easier ...

Less is More: More riders will use bikes with less travel

While I can't argue that a downhill bike lets you get away with mistakes and line choices that would spank you hard on a shorter travel bike, there is something to be said for mastering that same terrain on smaller rig. More and more riders who would have previously spent most or all of their saddle time on a downhill bike are discovering how much fun they can have on a shorter travel bike, but why? Part of if is a fundamental change in how many riders look at their riding.

A trail bike, or whatever you want to call it, means that you get more saddle time instead of sitting on a lift or in the back of a truck. Don't take me the wrong way, racing and riding big bikes with buddies will never get old, but there is no way that those long travel beasts can give you the same bang for your buck when talking about amount of time spent on singletrack.

Manufacturers are also waking up to the idea, with more and more designing trail bikes that agressive riders can feel comfortable on. The idea of such a bike is far from new, but we all win when big players like Specialized put out bikes like their 145mm travel Stumpjumper FSR Expert EVO, a mid travel machine with geo that allows you to charge hard. Many brands, both big and small, are designing similar bikes that allow a skilled rider to work the terrain more, with many discovering that they are actually faster in a great deal of places on their shorter travel bike.

But here's the clincher: these progressive bikes are showing riders that it isn't about outright speed, but rather outright shits and giggles. And when are you having the most fun? When your bike is sliding around, loose and spraying dirt behind you, a point that is much easier to reach on a mid travel trail bike than on a full fledged DH sled.

Slack and low geometry combined with short stems, suspension technology that lets you have your cake and eat it as well, and dropper posts that allow you to squeeze every last ounce of flow out of the trail are all factors that will ensure that these evolved trail bikes will continue to gain in popularity. - Mike Levy

Heheh the real intention of the article is to get you to buy another bike
Not change hahahah

Does it come with the stand?
