Best huck/DH/FR...out of these three

1. norco north shore 2
2. stinky/ stinky dee-lux
3.transition dirtbag


(why the one you chose is the best in your opinion)

keep in mind as if these were all using the same fork and suspension component.

Depends what you consider best. Shore and stinky have more travel and are more big mountain oriented. The dirtbag is best for any kind of riding. Its more fr trail oriented.

what do you mean by big mountain oriented when you were reffering to the shore and the stinky? And i leave it to one question, which one would you feel most comfortable with when doing a drop or jump.

Any of them. They are in the same family. North shore is not a bike I would want to have to pedal anywhere.

Do you plan to ride lift assisted or do you plan to pedal the bike around?

Informative.

I would go with the norco, I love those things, and they are very burly. Lots of good componets, too.
