Dudes, the new SX is sweet. It rides so fast, turns great, and manages the rough stuff amazingly. And I built mine up pretty light too. I had both, the demo 7 and 8 in the past, and I like this SX so much better than either of those. The rear suspension feels bottomless too. I've only had a month of riding on mine tho bc I broke my back. Can't wait to get back riding! Anyway, ur gonna love the new SX!
iv only road my sx trail 2 around the block so i can say much about it yet, tomorrow ill be taking it for a real ride and hopefully justify spending this much for a bike.. i cant wait.. i cant get image to post on here but here is link of my bike http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/meterman/IMG_0539.jpg?t=1294363126

Looks great!
Please post more pics an let us know how it rides! What size is it? What's the weight?
I got to ride my new sx today....sick sick sick! bike rides so nice and plush with the 7 inch travel. the bike handles great in corners, feels so comfortable to ride its given me the confidence to corner much faster, jump stuff i never jumped before and i even road down this huge drop i never would of even look at on my 09 enduro. X0 brakes work to good. gotta be careful with them..on my scale the weight of my size medium was 36.4 on my scale. peddling up hill in not as easy as my enduro but i didnt buy this bike to peddle.. after today im not feeling buyers remorse anymore.

Post more pics!! I really need to test one of those thing. Looks like an ultra fun mini dh bike that can be pedalled uphill in the week and shred the bikepark and dh trails in the weekend. For a 36lbs 180mm bike, does it pedal well enough to do some all mountain ride and long climb if im patient and strong enough?
How does it handle high speeds and rock gardens with the higher bb? Should i up grade from my 2006 sxt 2 to the 2011sxt2 or a demo 8? PS i wanna be able to jump the bike easly like the sx trail since its light. Any opinions?
