ok ya in UR OPPION

look at wheel paths son... the 88 still has a somewhat of an up in movement since the axle is mounted on the chainstay... i kno its with the seatstay too...

And its already been proven a bunch that the 88 dents... its made super thin

ya but its 38 pounds and when a dh bike is that lite and ur bashing the sh*t out of it ya i would expect some damage

I have a 38lb glory and its built pretty stount either then the air shock...
and its not going to look that bad after this season...

I dont hate trek... i like em... not a fan of bontranger... and the New Norco Team DH is 37.5 lbs stock and no stories of it denting.

what ever man clearly everyone says its a sh*t bike and that it dents easy and i seem to be the only one who thinks not
who wants a bike that will be all dented up after a few crashes... my a-line has taken extremely hard crashes and no dents

like i said i dont care good 4 u

Here, we can argue until the thread get's locked.

Soccom or Wilson. What do you think is stronger/better. Why?

I agree. I have seen a couple Soccoms snap in two, where as the Wilsons I have only seen dents in them. Never ridden a VPP so cannot comment on it, but I do love how the Wilson rides. Feels pretty balanced.

VPP is sweet but it has serious brake jack... Where i ride its steep, rough but still has pedaling sections so fsr fits the bill... no brake jack, pedals great too..

Neither haha I found the wilsons ride like wet noodles and the socom has way to thin of a tubeset and I hate vpp and horst link haha and intenses quality control sucks they had a whole but load of frames go out with the pivot holes bored to big.
