so you would take bullit instead of br?
well are you doing more jumping like slopestyle riding, or more just freeriding with light downhill and shuttle runs?

spesh sx trail, demo 7, giant reign x would work as well, norco six/shore depending on if you're looking on the lighter or heavier side of things...really theres a massive market catering to this 6-7 inch range of travel
but... if you can only have one choice, you ll choose bullit or br?

The bullit, it's one of a couple bikes I'm debating for my next build

ok, well then for the price, i wouldnt even look at the bullit. i would say a sx trail, demo 7, dirtbag or blindside. but you still havn't answered the question of what you would be riding. light downhill and might drop is too vague.

light downhill for sure..
actually, i have only 2 choices which are bullit and br,
but... if i choose the bullit, should i change the rear shox instead of 5th element?

What year bullit? they come now with dhx3,dhx5air, or vivid... I'd probably rock a vivid or dhxcoil if I got one

why are your only choices these? and yes igz is right 5th element is trash. but if the bullit you are considering has a 5th element then it must be like 05 or older. if its that then i would get a br over that.

no your wrong, the br will be lighter than the bullt, but it really depends on the build kit(even though the br will still be lighter) and why are these 2 your only options?

are you sure? ur prolly right, but thats hard to believe. anyway, the br doesnt feel like it weighs approx. 38 pounds when you ride it, but idk about the bullit

The new bullits are close, but if it is one of the old generations I would get a BR.
