If you're doing a lot of peddling up hills to get to trails, then the coiler might be the way to go. But if you're being shuttled, then definetly the bighit.

it really depends on what for, for fr the coiler is pretty good, but the bighit is better for dh, and the coiler pedals better, but for me i would stick with the coiler its more versatile

i agree with that that guy says, but i mean if you get a big hit with a good shock, with pro pedal, they stll pedal good,

with my glory, i learnt to just move my legs, and not bob, so that makes riding up hills really easy Big Grin

deffo go with the big hit:P

or what about the sx trail could be a good inbetween bike.

not much bigger than your coiler and not as big as the bighit,and it can take the shit.

i have an 05 coiler that ive built up to be slopestyleish. 66,dhx5,deemaxx.hopem6 ect. and my bike weighs 42lbs. go with something lighter if you are getting a lower travel bike. it also has more of a all mtn geometry. the bb would be better a few inches lower to the ground, berms and stuff like that are like riding a horse throught them when your too high up. just get a big bike and have fun.
