looking at their website. Their MM only have super gravity version instead of Evo version. Thats very heavy tire 1kg
*
super gravity sidewalls is tougher/thicker, hence the weight...and mostly used for DH...if you too strong, u can try it pedaling trail bikes.. rclxms.gif

budget is not a problem...but my concern is i do not want my rm5k collecting dust in my store room which no different even if i get the rm1.5k bike with lower spec frame and groupset...

speaking of budget to start with and from your experience may i know what is the cheapest bike that come with XTR groupset?

or which bike is cheap enough but with good SRAM groupset?

thinking of getting the 26" with 16" frame...hardtail with front sus travel more than 120mm

thanks for ur advice
*
rarely seen new bikes come with XTR groupset, unless a very high end one (15-20k)...

better go with 27.5" since 26", its a bit hard to find tires nowadays...

since I like offroad, downhill trails, which needs 140-160mm of travel, I can suggest u to get DARTMOOR HORNET , SANTA CRUZ CHAMELEON...

groupset, if you want the best, I would suggest getting SRAM X1 or if you on a tight budget, can opt for SRAM NX or SRAM GX

apart of the bit hard to find 26" what other disadvantages of the 2sixxer?

do u happen to know where can i rent MTB for a day? i just wanted to try again the MTB before i spend few k...
*
apart from wheels stuff, 26" is still ok...if you want a full-sus with 26" and 27.5" wheels, u can try banshee rune/spitfire...this model can change wheelsize punya...

u can contact DOOWARODA at instagram or FB...they provide bike renting and guide flex.gif

pcp. why kenot fit? because of the seatpost? or the rear wheel?
*
as u said, only took out the front wheel and the rear intact, I usually put in the car rear first...with 160mm fork, shud be no problem, but 180mm fork its kinda hard due to clearance issue in the boot space...29er that I tried fitting in the car was a long trvel 29er with 160mm fork, so, the fork/hndle bar might not sit well in the car

sorry ahcat, none of my circle of friends are using xfusion.. its either reverb, fox transfer or KS.. KS being the most wobbling amongst, and may become annoying for some..
*
yeah, all opt for reverb n fox due to popularity=easy to service, spare parts etc

but the latest KS dropper looks good n performed well...most noticeable are the dropper that came with high ends bike like polygon square1

I have 2 friends running xfusion dropper but not sure which model. Both also had problems. One was leaking oil but still working ok. The other seized and had to be warrantied.

Better top up a bit to get the reverb or fox transfer imho.

cancel on getting the xfusion manic...review says its good, but here, getting the replacement cartridge is a troublesome....getting myself the spez command ircc tomorrow..

Sorry answering my own question again.. just found it online..  biggrin.gif

The dropper post has revolutionized riding bicycles off road in the last several years. In no time at all they have gone from being a niche all mountain fad to a part found on every type of bicycle from bike park rats all the way down to elite level cross country and endurance racers.  With the dropper becoming ubiquitous to mountain bikes here are a few things to keep in mind to help your dropper function properly between service intervals.

1.  Always, always, ALWAYS, store your dropper post in the UP position.  All dropper posts are driven up by some sort of spring, usually an air spring.  In the Rockshox Reverb for example there is an air chamber that is inflated to 250 PSI, (Pounds per Square inch) when the seat post is in the maximally raised position.  If you compress the post all of the way to the bottom of its travel that air spring is now at close to 700PSI!  This is an incredible amount of pressure to be pushing on rubber seals.  In extreme situations dropper posts stored in the down position frequently, or for a long period of time, can have air migrate past those seals and into the fluid reservoir causing what we call "suspensioning."  Suspensioning is when the dropper post has vertical play causing it to move up and down when you weight it and un-weight it.

2. Never, never NEVER,  lift your bike or hang it by the seat when the dropper is sagged below the upper position.  When the dropper is at any height below maximum it's very bad for the hydraulic mechanism and internal seals to pull up on or lift the bike by the seat. By lifting or hanging your bike by the seat you are running the risk of having premature wear in the seals and internals which can also cause suspensioning of your dropper.  This will ultimately lead to a dropper that needs service or a rebuild before its recommended service interval.    Always remember to raise your seat all the way before giving your bike to lift operators at a bike park or before putting it in a repair stand.

To get the most out of your dropper post it is best to take good care of it and perform maintenance on the interval recommended by the seat post Manufacturer.  By ALWAYS storing your bike with the seat post extended and NEVER lifting your bike by its seat post when the seat is lowered you can help ensure your dropper will perform its best for the longest!
