saiz??

cool stuff 

Why worry about rain? You ride in muddy trail and your bike is water proof anyway...

Rain is not an excuse not  to ride. Laziness is.
Anyway... here you go...

Go for SL 29er.

Why can't you find a conclusion for it? I think it depends on you. What you want.
I'm just choosing 29er coz I've tried 26 and haven't try 29.

Soli soli... Wrong info given plak!
I think the more appropriate question would be why SC Superlight? LOL... It's a single pivot 4" bike. It's cheaper maintainence no doubt with just a pair of large bearings, but how's the ride quality compared to those newer multi linked bikes? Bobbing issues?
Bike shops objective is to sell in order to make profit. Don't fall into the trap. I'm not saying 29er is inferior or superior to 26er. Try it or atlest do some research online on the feedbacks.

Based on the geo charts, the 29er SCSL will be slightly more stable on speed due to the big wheel and longer wheelbase. The bad part is a longer wheelbase will also be harder to manuvere on tight trails and less flickable with a longer CS. You may think you're an XC rider and don't put much concern on flickability, but what makes a ride fun is to be able to make the bike do what you want with urgency, not driving a trailer kinda slow response, rite?

The BB is higher on the 29er SCSL though. Good thing about higher BB is less pedal strikes on tech terrains, but on the expense of cornering stability.

I find it funny that the geo charts in SC website states both 29er and 26er's A2C length is the same at 470mm. It's common A2C length of 470mm for a 26er with 100mm travel unsagged. But a 29er 100mm fork should be longer. A 470mm unsagged A2C length is typical of a 80mm travel 29er fork. Maybe you could send an email to SC and clarify that matter?

I hope after glamour has make his decision on 26 or 29, he doesn't have the should I get a 4" or 5" or 6" or 7" or 8" or 9" or 10"? problem

or Rigid, 80", 100", 120", 140", 160" ....1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.25....50mm,60mm,70mm....

Hahahah...just joking la dude ...you know what they say ...

"Men socialize by insulting each other, but they don't really mean it. Women socialize by complimenting each other, and they don't really mean it .."

So tomorrow anyone riding? Lets play commando and try ambushing those trail wreckers ...heheheh

So AM and DH is totally out ...therefore Im guessing you ll want a XC/Trail bike ...(dont take my word for it ...do your own research ..you wont regret it)

Just a suggestion, I would consider these bikes:

1. SC Blur LT
2. Giant Trance
3. Trek Fuel Ex8
4. Specialized Stumpjumper FSR
Last but not least
5. ASR5 of course hehehe 

You ll probably be able to build the bike at around 12KG or even 11KG ...making it easy to climb and dream going down...

where do you ride? are you brand concious? on a budget? superlight is not going to cut it. trance is about one of the best bikes you can get out there. if not go for sclt for the vpp linkage.

26 / 29er almost same.29er rolls better. that is just about it on a 29er.
2012 Trailbike shootout in the process

sound interesting, where do you ride?

imo, SL with single pivot is not a good climber. u need to depend on pedal platform like fox propedal to help reduce pedal bob.

if you like SC as a brand, you should get their VPP suspension frame like SC blur series. VPP are what SC known for.. otherwise is just a waste.

you should seriously consider giant bikes, they are good.. maestro suspension also a form of floating pivot work like magic and value for money.
these bikes can climb very well without switching propedal.

BM, tokun? Heard KSH have a branch there.
I ride anthem.

Why fork cannot transfer? How many mm?
Sound like you very brand conscious and care bout the look so much... If like that no need ask so much...just buy base on colour. Easy.

Go to Mt. Erskine, good trail. Can see alot of DH chicks too!

blur XC la.. 100mm can ma..
blur got 3 series.. XC, trail and LT

you care about bike looking humble ma..no? buy first then u will know for sure
like many already reply the advise here.. so up to u to decide la.

i base in KL
i see many fellas in Sg Ara, and bukit gambir. bukit jambul also look like some ridable trail. but alot of hikers..
