The Stumpjumper isn't what I'd call "heavy duty" Try the Enduro

The new Blur XC, the one redesigned this year. It is supposed to be even lighter-faster-better than previous Blurs. According to the ads in MBA, they are also offering a beefier version of the Blur this year, but I have forgotten what they are calling that one. Anyway, the lighter one for me (Blur XC).

I'd have to go with the Blur. I have one now, so I may be a bit biased.

Blur, then Kikapu. Or better yet, Blur LT vs. Dawg vs. Enduro.

How do the Turner bikes fit in against these guys - either the 5-spot or the 6-pack? Someone in my MTB club has a 5-spot and it sure is pretty. I've read up on the Turners and am pretty impressed and lust after one now.

I've heard that the 5-spot and Blur really go hand in hand..very close between those two.

I would personally go for the 5-spot over any of them in a heartbeat if I could afford it. However, I can get a complete Kona Dawg for the price of a 5-spot frame, which is in fact, what I'm thinking of doing next spring.

FSR - the only truly fully active suspension of the three, climbs great, no brake jack, unlike the VPP-based Blur. Brake Jack is undesirable.

I'm a Kona fan so I voted for the Kikapu. I've never ridden any of the three listed but I do own a Kikapu Deluxe.
