Im in the market for a new 2016 Park bike. Already started shopping!! lol
Ive always ridden a dual crown fork, 2014 Giant Glory 0 was my last bike with a Boxxer WC. I was thinking of going a different route next year. I sold the Glory early this year and rode my trail bike for the last few weeks in the WBP and it was super fun.There is no way it could handle a full season of abuse but it opened my eyes to more playful/poppy bikes. I was thinking of going the 2015 Scott Voltage or Banshee Darkside route with a single crown 180 Lyric or Fox 36. What do you guys think? Ive heard varying opinions on single crowns and air forks/shocks in the park.
Thanks
Todd

I'm waiting to see what the 2016 YT Capra line up looks like, but will most likely be ordering one of them.

I haven't had any problems running a 180 air sprung, single crown fork (180 Fox 36 Float) at the park, and both the Voltage, and Darkside work well with single or dual crown forks. Also, the Knolly Delerium should be out before the parks open up next season, and it would also be a great park bike with either a single or dual crown fork.

As for me, I hope to sell my current bike, and use it to help fund a two bike garage! Looking forward to a Knolly Podium and a 5" travel trail bike, i haven't decided on a model yet.

Thinking a short-travel 29 with boost for a new trail bike. That Trek Fuel EX 9.9 looks good. I bet Santa Cruz has a new 29 up their sleeve. Patience grasshopper. That's what I keep telling myself.

I've got a Session 650b waiting for me back at the shop. I won't be able to build it up until December when I'm home from school, but I've already got an Emerald and Vivid Air lined up Smile

I just bought a 'new' bike. It's 2 years old but in great condition. That about as good as it gets for me (and I assume many others) who have a budget.

I checked out the Uzzi and liked it, but the colour ways might be too much for me. Im all for a splash of colour but they just might have more splash than I can handle.
Maybe need to see it in person.

I was unlucky enough to be run over on my cycle home from work a few days ago, so the road bike is a write off and I had intended on replacing the hardtail and DH bike with an enduro bike anyway. So its a whole new stable for me in 2016! Likely one of the 2016 Capra's, and something else with skinny wheels and in carbon too.

I'm in the pipes for building this puppy.

It's a Last Fastforward 29er in British Racing Green.

Ordered the frame and will be waiting for it in February 2016. Smile
