I ride an all mountain Cove Hustler that has 5&5. I can keep up on the fast down hills but I am punishing my suspention on the stunts. I am looking for something with 7&7. Characteristics I am looking for are: decent pedalability, not too plush so it is snapy, and easy on the Lbs. The bikes I am interested in are the Specialized SX Trail II, the Demo 7, and the Devinchi Frantik II. Out of these 3 bikes wich one would you stear me towards, and why?

Thirded. Far prefer it over the Devinci and the Specialized (Yes, I've ridden both quite a bit) That's why I ended up buying a reign x1.

Another vote for the reign X, The maestro link will definitely help with the pedaling.

I have not personally, but my cousin's girlfriend out in whistler had nothing negative to say about it. She races/trains with Mad March Racing (Shaums' team), as does my cousin, and loves her Reign X.

Its brake jack not "jag", Maestro is also just a rip off DW link so how can it feel dead?
