Unless you have all of these complete bikes I'm not sure how anyone is qualified to answer that, not to mention these are frames and the sum of all its parts make the bike, so a bike can be crap and yet made good by changing to a better suspension for eg.

They are all totally different. I liked the YT. Super light. Great jumper. No mullet. Just got off the supreme v4. Great bike. Aluminum. Totally different. Very stable. Plow away. I’m going to try the new intense m1 now. I’ve ridden DH for 20+ yrs… all types of bikes.

Which is better - Mercedes S class, BMW 7 or Audi A8, type of question.

To me, I’d be looking at the V5 or the V10 if I were going to being racing it. I think if you just want something for bike park it opens up more options on which one to call the best.

Altitude you can pedal. Slayer you can too depending on whether you want the dh or enduro/freeride build. Kona is a DH bike made for the bike park. Keep in mind you can put a dual crown fork on the slayer if you want to have a more dh oriented bike that you could pedal. Your probably around a size large. I don't know what you mean by "moto trails" but a true downhill bike with a dual crown fork would handle the best on that if you don't have to pedal.

Hey Guys,

Just trying to get my first downhill bike.
I've found a Specialized Demo Expert from 2021 at 3350 EUR.

Do you guys think its a fair price or do you think I could get better if I waited it out?

Also, what are your guys experiences with Boxxer Select and RockShox Super Deluxe Select Coil?

The components are here

Thanks for the help!

Seems a little overpriced, "Select" are the budget options from RockShox with the least amount of adjustments, you can upgrade the fork damper but there are better deals IMO. Is it a brand new bike?
