Hi, I'm getting started in the world of DH and I'm not sure if it's better for me to buy the SX Trail 2012 new (wich I consider like a good beginner bike even though it has a single crown fork) or buy an used official downhill bike (an more robusted, heavier and bigger frame with a double corwn fork)
@samb271 well 1st off the sx is by no means a "beginner" bike! even for downhill riding the sx can hold it own.i've ridden a demo and i own an sx and aside from an xtra 20mm's or so of travel on the demo they're basically the same if your going with specialized only..i cant speak for other manufacturers.so unless your looking to go apeshit down severely treacherous huge drops and technical runs like you see the professionals do then an sx will be more than adequate!
@samb271 there is no beginners bike for downhill riding..you either pay for professional grade or you get nothing lol!..and like i said before i cant speak for other bike co's other than specialized but as far as price for dh bikes they're all roughly the same of course i gotta go with specialized out of personal preference as well as in my opinion the best innovation's in the industry. good luck and choose wisely!
@ notatoy1 your argument sucks and everyone else agrees! Cheap bikes would simply break an you obviously don't do drops like because a lots of them are 15 - 20 ft and a cheap bike would simply buckle and break! Sx trails are really good :)
hey guys iam not knocking this bike they are the best , . but if your just doing this as a hobby as iam no way am i going to spend the kinda money they ask for these bikes . wallmart does me just fine or any other cheap bike for that matter sure they will fail sooner or later but for £200 i think i can afford it just my opinion thanks
these videos make me laugh as if you need a $3000 doller bike to do this . a rode a cheap of the shelf mountain bike from the makers falcon and did the very same thing , and it held up just fine whats more a still ride it every day the cost of the bike was $200 dollers , only thing i changed was the crank for a uprated sealed cartridge type ,, :-)
@notatoy1 your an idiot, how is it all about brand name? you seriously think specialized bikes are the same spec as a crappy catalog bike lol specialized are the nuts and they know it thats why they give a lifetime warrenty on there frames
@mill3r129 first of i am not a idiot and yes it is all about brand names and if you think different then its you that is the idiot .i am not saying cheap catalog bikes are as good as these very high priced bikes far from it that is why they are cheap but it is all down to marketing if the specialized bikes where so strong they would not need a warrenty on the frame .as they would not brake . :-)
@DomDom1242 ok i will put up a video but i dough; t you will take what you said back , most cheap bikes can perform those stunts sure the frame may break ever heard of a welder ??? most diy shops have them now as well as a local bike repair shop the cost of a welding repair is very little , guess those expensive bikes are not so good after all :-)
and the point i was trying to make is that they make this bikes specifically for that purpose, im sure if you get one of the best freeriders they could do this on a cheap bike, i saw a guy do some really good trials riding on a road bike, but if you could ride freeride on a halfords catalog bike, or this bike, then im sure you'd pick this bike,
@notatoy1 would you drive a honda civic in an off road rally race? Why not? because its not made for that purpose. CHEAP BIKES are not made for jumps or freeride or else they well break. a welder at a bike shop would tell you to buy a real bike if your going to get involved with freeride. Hey, just because i can weld my dads 1980 specialized hard rock if the frame brakes doesnt mean its better than a 2011 demo 8. your argument is flawed and completely illogical
The rolling chain guide did not work well on this bike but after I took it off it turned out to be the best bike I have ever owned. And yes short of the impossible this bike does make the rider feel a little bit invincible and will allow you to do things you thought you couldn't.
@The4LA2Baker0 the ad doesn't say "the bike that does what you'd like to do" it says "the bike that does what you want it to do" they are saying the bike reacts and handles well and stuff.
Bearclaw FTW he rocks, and the SX trail 2010 looks sweet!
(0:46) "The bike that will do whatever you want it to", thats obviously misleading advertisement. I want to ride as well as that guy. if i buy this bike will i suddenly be a badass on 2 wheels? NO.
@alexander2419 they puposely used wording that sounds like the bike is doing more than the rider. if you can't understand that then you must be retarded. i quote "The bike will do whatever you want it to". you can interprit that however you want, but the literal meaning is that the bike will do anything you want it to. I WANT to ride like that guy, riding that bike wont make it so. if they are saying the bike reacts and handles well then they should say that, NOT it does anything you want.
no you tool, the sx is a light freeride bike the p1 is for dirt jumping. the v10 is totally a downhill bike like races and that crap this bike is the real deal
my friend got a specialized sx trail and my other friend got a Santa cruz v10. you cant compare the 2 because there completely different v10 is made for downhill sx trail made for dirt jumps
Please folks check out my page. Were making our own videos of some good riding. Please leave your comments and support please. Thanks again, and safe riding to you all!
I dream of being able to do that stuff..... And to BUY a Specialized SX trail II they are $5,100!!!! i think ill just stick with my $500 Specialized Hardrock Sport
I thought about getting a rockhopper but the i had to choose between a giant rincon or the specialized but i liked the specialized way better but the only good thing about the rincon is that it had dirt jump forks and disc brakes. i broke the stock forks on my specialized and got some marrasochi mz race forks..i love them
when you upgrade to a full sus later youll be riding so much better though because you need to ride in control on a ht but a fs lets you have so much more forgiveness
how much travel does it have, i was thinking of getting a iron horse sunday or a sx trail, this looks so much nicer. saw it in my local bike shop today and it looks amazing!!!!
