TR450, perfect frame for any dh/freeride use, dh angles with freeride strength, and when I'm talking about freeride strength I'm talking 40 foot drops without any problems

Of those i'd probably get the 450, the revolt will devour bearings...

The commencal would be a reasonable choice too though.

There are lots more fish in the sea though..... Demo, glory, session, makulu, gambler, V10c, legend, DHR, phoenix, or flatline are all good choices.

What about the Operator? Pretty solid Dh/fr bike at a decent price (frameset)

Meh, for the money the glory is a lighter, better pedalling bike without a reputation for snapping off at the headtube.

All frames break. And the more bikes there are obviously the more frames will snap. With kona when you compare how many bikes they sell and how many break it's actually lower that some companies (Evil, intense,norco)
