SpecializedSX Trail Frame
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I love mine, they arent that heavy meaning they can't go up hill, but the travel feels endless and plush on the way back down the hill. Just a pity about the old one having stupid length shocks on.
i loved the 2008 frame and colours, not to keen on the frame shape until i see one for real, but im sure its an insane frame, love the colour to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Sick do everything frame. Climbs up and kills it on the way down. Pretty pedal friendly for having 170mm of travel. Can also be built up nice and light.

I've been taking this bike to go uphills and doing some light downhills as well..... it always keeps me amazed with its capability.
Definately want to buy another one if mine has come to replace.
