Would like to hear from some Big hit owners, how is you bike for XC trail riding???
It kicks ass. I hang with the XC racer guys on our singletrack on everything but the really *looooooong* climbs.
As soon as the terrain turns downward, I school em'.
The BH really doesn't feel that "heavy" on the trails believe it or not. It only feels heavy when you go to put it in your bikestand. lol.
I'm putting a Jr.T 03' on mine here in a few days, which will bump the weight to 38LBS total. I'll comment on it after that, but with the stock DJ2, the bike handles awesome on the trails. The rear end is perfect. I dont like the DJ because it doesn't soak up the "Quick jitters" and high-speed bumps.... (it's an urban / jumper fork ok?). So.. I'm switching to a Jr.T for 7" of travel, and all-around great performance.
Anyways, It's a great bike. I've been very satisfied with mine. Put an Avid Rollamajig on the rear derailleur, and it makes it even better!
