Hey everyone! I know there are a lot topics on these bikes, but I couldn't find one that compared them together (correct me if Im wrong please Wink )
I want to buy a new bike for 4X racing and trail riding essencialy, but one that I can ocasionaly do some dirtjumps and slopestyle stuff.

I finally got to these two options, the bass and the sx. So what I would like to know is what would be the best bike for what said.
I heard that the stock bass it's a bit heavy and the sx could be more easily turned into a lightweight race bike but I would like to know what you think.

Keep riding Wink

sx. Bass is a slopestyle bike.

It sounds like you definitly want an SX. Much more versatile. You can race it, jump it and trail ride. Bass is good for jumping, and that's about it.

No comparison between the two. The bass is basically a Dual Suspension DJ. The SX is so versatile, ride trails or DH or Freeride

Do you think the sx could handle a 130mm fork until I get a new one, like until christmas ? Cause its just has just 100mm of travel

It would be fine with 130mm front end.
