It's alot nicer! but it depends if your a big guy or not as I weigh 8.5st and have to put 180psi in the shock when it maxes out at 200 =/

dont think i can actually remember when i weighed that much :o, im 10.4st.
that seems a rather alot of pressure for your weight?

Yeah its the way the ransom frame is designed, thats why it has an equalizer shock because it needs to be controlled at 300+psi so putting a dhx 5 in it is risky if you weigh over 10st I would say

Yapton's just a bit far away

Very nice, I've never been a fan of Scott bikes, but this is definitely and exception. You should take thos red stickers off though IMO
then what do I do with the red hubs, brake bits and crimp?:P- 1 0
Oh yeah, I didn't see those red parts, the stickers can stay a red seat clamp would top it off nicely.

It's a bit annoying, sometimes I get really bad arm pump and can't go as fast as I want to and only having one brake means i can't ride the steeper trails but I get by and the wider bars are helping with the wrist pump

If you dont mind me asking; how did it happen?
Bet you go through rear tyres like anything too! Your bar extension is pretty sick...

haha it was well fun with the rise but as soon as I cranked it or hit a jump the bike would go into auto manual mode or the bars would be out of control and I would be x-up landing:P
