View Full Version : Best Freeride Bike ?

Hi all,

I am currently looking to buy a new freeride bike. I have already destroyed my Giant Rainier in 1 year, so I am searching for a bike that can take more abuse. I do mainly freeride, street, north shore, & a bit of downhill. My budget is around $1,250 CND.

I was currently looking at the Norco 2004 Sasquatch, Kona Stuff 2004/05 (2005 coming out in a few days) , and the Specialized P. Series.

Thanks,

Louis

Yep those are all ideal choices. All have similar components, frames and pricepoints.

yeah, like mael said, those are all good choices. i got a riding buddy who rides an '04 sasquatch and he seems to like it a lot. he's also got a few upgrades on it - one of which being a 24" rear and mag 30 rims. i haven't riden it yet, but it looks like a real sweet rig.

i'd suggest test riding each to see which one feels the best for you before deciding.
