Pity they don't make the wheels in black. The bike still looks great though. Add yellow Mavic jersey and it will look even better than the stock one!

Oh a few OCD people have mentioned it. Actually you can't line them up....I think the tyre logos are supposed to be in the gap between the rim logos

Is anyone riding the Torque DHX Drop zone?

Having a hard time choosing between this and the rock zone. In my mind I'm able to pedal the drop zone round the trails a bit.....not sure about the big difference in front and rear travel though, seems like has the potential to be a bit unbalanced. Running in the 195mm mode would help but then is the BB a bit lofty?

This is coinciding with a move to scotland so looking for something for the big hills.

I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered (just another three weeks!) If i hadnt already test rid one at Canyon HQ I'd be shitting myself just now waiting for my bike after reading their comments! But I'm 6"1' /185cm and found the Large to be compact but a good fit so i'm a but suprised by how much of a complaint they make about the size!!?? Do i hear conspiracy against direct sellers??? not sure.... but odd never the less. They still give it 4 1/2 stars.
The Cube Stereo 160 Super HPC race came 2nd and the Mondraker Foxy R came first......

SO, from reading this I'm intrigued by sizing - how big is everyone and what size have they bought? Obviously the above has a large at 185cm. I'm 180cm and have a medium on order.
