Thread: Looking for 26" full-suspension XC bike... which ones?

i rode a trance x with a 150mm revelation fork.

it measured 67deg HA and 13.4" bb



smmokan - you definatley want to look for a giant anthem x. rad 4" bike.

Well shit, that's nothing to sneeze at.

My Trance-X with a 150mm fork makes me very, very happy every time I ride it.

I bet one with a 140mm fork and an offset shock bushing or something like that for a low-slung west coast style bike would be pretty sweet as well.

I think the Trance almost needs the 140mm fork to come into its own.

Carbon Trek Remedy 9.8. 19.5" very light use=excellent condiition. 28 lbs with 6" travel. DRCV shock has great platform climbing and is plush down. Talas fork has lockout and adjusts 110-130-150. Awesome bike, but it was small on me and I went 29er.

I also have this trance available with a 140mm FOX Talas (cartridge needs repair, but works 100% @ 140mm) for $1750. (9mm qr fork).

Thanks everyone... I'm actually going to keep my HiFi Pro 29er for a while. Since I already have the Heckler for fun rides, I'm going to keep the 29er for other trails and longer XC rides. It seems to be better suited for that kind of stuff anyways.
