Trance X would be the lightest IINM.
Stroke * leverage ratio, etc. = rear travel

Hmm, been thinking bout the uphill part also  rclxub.gif Stress. Wanting to try full DH rig to see how fast i can push down hill biggrin.gif

But i dont like the glory shape and silver colour  icon_question.gif

Resell value is what i consider too.

From all of your posts. Its better not to swap. If you wanna add another bike, its ok, but swap, nah. Don't go for it.
Ask yourself: Why would the Glory owner wants to swap in the first place?

Well said. Expert is always Sifu  whistling.gif

Got 1 noob question here  sweat.gif : That is a lots of AM bike in the market.. For instance,
1) Yeti 575, AS-R, SB66
2) Giant Trance
3) Intense Tracer-2
4) Spec Enduro
5) SC Blur LT
6) Ibis Mojo
7) Trek Fuel EX, Trek Scratch
8) Commencal Meta AM
9) Others.... You name it....

I know that brand and setting are solely depends on personal preferences.
But is anyone here mind to comment on the bikes I listed above?
I just wants to know more on the personal review, experiences, price worthiness???
(Hopes to hear Tim, Xandman or Reza's comment)  brows.gif

Just make sure you get a bike which is future proof. Like get one with 142 rear thru axle. Don't go with models which use too much propriety stuffs. Will make you cry when you need to change that one propriety thing. For example, Giant Over Drive 2. And for the rear suspension, make sure Fox or RockShox has the length (eye-to-eye * stroke length) of that shock just in case you want to change or replace it later.

142mm treaxle is future proof? I thought that is proprietary thingy?
Thing like 30mm seatpost... ? unsure.gif

142x12 is being adapted by most brands. Trek, Specialized, Intense, Giant, to name a few. It seems like 142 is going to be the future, but dunno lah, 135 people still using oso. This is just my opinion. tongue.gif
