between the 3...i choose Blur LT as well!

For most all purpose ride, max is 5.75 FS. You will not need more unless u go for purist DH; else you will having very challenge ride as it's PITA is climb. Generally there is no lifter in Msia except in Bkt Ramli, so what come down must go up 1st (by pedaling).

Now even to decide between 5, 5.5 and 5.75 is VERY dif.

enjoy uphill

I think stumpy oso not bad. 2012 version iinm uses 142 rear hub.

26 lbs 11 oz = 12.1 kg with stock parts...

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

But i dont like the glory shape and silver colour

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?

the glory u need to change the rear shock. a fox van ok la for goin over roots, and gnarly stuff - taking drops sure habis la.

and the glory is ONLY for DH. pure DH kakis. u know with a DH bike pedal frm kiara park to KSH also mau nangis, apa lagi for leisure ride.

stick with the nomad. or lower the stem and belasah DH. jangan lupa full face yeah

5 inch light bike will be giant trance, blur or yeti and Scott. Hehehee! Their diff only like 100-200gr


trance super heavy la. And only u ride a trance

Don't wait. Better go buy since ur Scott still got value

I prefer ayam than that trance





Major... Don't talk about weight. Just early morning before ride, go for a dump.
Heavier bike will give u better control. Climbing is depending on the geometry rather than the weight.
Of course, at the end, whether u carry 111kg or 115kg does make a slight diff. All u need is a bit of diet and a dump.

Light bikes on kiara trails not as fun as heavier bikes in kiara.
This is true story.

I'd go for 5 incher not because of weight but geometry.
U can ask reza too. We both were on trance 5 incher. Both r on am/enduro bike now.
So... Dig deep and know what u want.

Well said. Expert is always Sifu

Got 1 noob question here : 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)

If we know or experienced all... There r few things about us.

Either we r a bike reviewer or we have nothing else better to do.

All brands have their own pros and cons. No brand dares to say their bike is the best as at the end, it is always falls back to the rider.

As mentioned... Design, look and color always play the biggest criteria to me.

Keep in mind, some makers make sole purpose bike and some try to make multi purpose bike.
At the end, u gain some, u lose some.

LoL! For me.. Gaya is more important.....
Now I kena the poison for getting a longer travel bike.

Wat's ur budget?

Oh... And I forgot...
The best is get a bike others can't get.
Hehehehehe!

Speaking about budget? I will be confused.
Before I got my Scott Spark 60 2012. My budget was $2,500.00
After I few trips to Bikepro. I got a new bike for $5,000.00 plus.

LoL! I can't resist the look. (Matt Black+Red)

i just buy what looks good!


among all my bike...all look good except one...the banned shit!

so from this list...just get what looks the best to u!
performance wise all is almost at par...albeit some pros and cons of coz!

better still...
since u have UNLIMITED budget...
get something u dun see ppl riding or less ppl riding...

Get a Canfield...

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.

Eh? How come I feel like I read this somewhere...


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

bcoz wise minds think alike?
hahahahaha...

142 is considered future proof la...
since it is backward compatible maaa....
can use 135 oso...with spacers...
i think that is future proof la...
