Kona-rider69, 4x bikes run gears for different tracks eg. a downhill track would alow you to run a harder gear but flat tracks require more peddeling and a higher gear. Some really good racers actually jump the gate in a high gear to get going and shift down soon after. Do your homework, it's not rocket science.
ehh the fork is nicer but i prefer kyles set up better after riding a single speed i want to go single speed on everything but thats impracticle on my stinky and i cant do it to my bros bike without his permission
Ok. I would rather have that fork and those brakes. And dellow carsons not always wrong and i do think gears are better for 4x but its personal preference i suppose.
