Whyte e 120 s bike (2010)

I started the full suss journey in on a Giant NRS frame, and loved the way that climbed and decended compared to late 's hardtails , then moved onto an Intense Tracer and that was an improvement in terms of decending, and as good climbing, then onto E5 and that was an improvement again for all reasons, and now with E I'm blown away.

I guess there is alot of improvement made by the mm RP23 shock itself when compared to the mm RP3 on the E5 btw my RP23 is boostvalve version with oversized air can and middle level of compression damping. Whilst they are all nice, and very good bikes, they just didn't suit me and my style of riding. MisterT — I have to agree with everything you just said. I had the same route — E-5 to E and I haven't looked back. Now I've put some suitable forks maxle'd rev's and brakes Elixirs there' just no stopping it.

Enjoy it. It's probably the only bike i'd replace the 5 with if i wanted a carbon full bouncer and would think you could build one up fairly nicely with the sort of money it looks like your spending. Getting away from the thread slightly but i SS'd my P7 and now ride it more than the 5.

Can ride it DH faster than my 5 too! To be honest, when I went back to a HT last year it was great. Would my 36 talas fork work on this frame? Dear All Considering getting the XT. Also had a few doom sayers saying stones will fly thru the carbon fibre… Any experiences to share? Have test ridden the latest XT and it fair flew up the hills… Got Mountain Mayhem coming up and having just come back from 18 miles of mud on my Felt hardtail with rubbish clearance I'm feeling the need!

Anyone done better than that? Many thanks. This topic has 30 replies, 21 voices, and was last updated 11 years ago by Madyear. Viewing 31 posts - 1 through 31 of 31 total. Posted 12 years ago.
