I'm looking to get a DH bike for next year and not to sure which company and model to go with. Bang for the buck is more important than just the price.

So im gonna get pounded on here for doing this... but the Kona Stab Deluxe and a Norco Atomik are good choices... good performance for lil cash.

if money isnt an issue, go for a new session 88 or sunday, but if you are lower on cash and want a decent bike, look into a used aline or stab, ive personally ridden them all, and they will both last you pretty good. 2 cents

Well he said bang for buck so sounds like he'll spend whatever it takes to get the right boke for him.

My buddy has been doing a lot of research, trying out a ton of bikes at shops. He eneded up going with the norco atomik. Great bike.

Yeah I keep hearing about the Atomik. However it's ugly as sin. Kinda looks "Wal-martish." Anybody know how much the Glory is?
I'm not too keen on paying more than $3500

If you're choosing your bike based on how it looks over performance, I don't even know what to say to that. You're buying a bike not a car....
