Can. Depends on how you would want to ride it. If you did bring an RM500 bike to Kiara, please snap some photo of the riders there. I want to see their expression. tongue.gif

575 is slightly lighter. I would love to shed a few pounds off the bike, but no money cry.gif But i guess i can live with a heavier but prettier frame tongue.gif

Dirt of course can spray but got access chain lube that i forgot to wipe off so have to wash. doh.gif

First, check top tube length. Compare it to your current bike. And like Chamelion said, Yeti and Santa Cruz sizings are a bit different than Giant, Spez, etc.
Check the frame condition first before buying icon_rolleyes.gif
You sure you want 5.75 inch instead of 6.3 inch travel? tongue.gif

Offcourse will be checking the frame 1st before buy.The bike frame is 17.5 and it's for rider height 160cm-171cm which is not suitable for me since i'm 178cm tall.Don't know much about the travel since i'm more on XC bike than trail/am/freeride/DH bike.Need opinion/advise from sifus here.The asr-7 looks great too.

Usually, for Freeride/DH, use slightly smaller.

You can ask the Sifus here who are knowlagable about Trail/AM bikes ...some say too much travel no point if you dont exploit it ...some say its more fun ...but get one thats fit for purpose la ...u get an AM bike but if you just go to RRI or Rover trail only...rugi la ...

By the way ...575 got the Lime color ek? The color actually looks odd but after awhile it grows on you...but with such colors its usually fad...after awhile looses its appeal..

Too much travel is just good. U just need to rider faster and harder to utilize the remaining travel.

Too little travel = go harder spring. And became a slope-style rider in whistler

Maybe there's something wrong with the frame or it's just pure selling cheap.Well need to check to be sure.Offcourse when you got more travel you'll start to do more jump with it.Right now my bike only got 3 inch travel (96mm) which i don't dare to do excessive jump at all.
I'll go for the black or the lime colour.The pewter colour is ok too.Don't like the turqouise,looks weird tongue.gif
