Are You Getting a New Bike for 2016?

KLUNKER. 'Nuff said.

Demoing the new Bronson next weekend to see if it rallies as quick as the SB5C. If I love it, I may pull the trigger but my 2012 Nomad is still so much fun I will need to really love that Bronson to step up to that amount of scratch...

This is going to be my 2016 ripper.

Gonna stick with my good 'ole 2012 Transition Bottlerocket with Zocchi Bomber 66 fork... Currently trying to trade off my Marzocchi ROCO TST R rear shock for something similar, hit me up if you're interested!

Will be running a Banshee Legend for the 4th consecutive season for DH (2nd season on the same bike) and I'm about to sell my Banshee Spitfire V1 probably for a 2015 Giant Trance SX.

Banshee Rune

Already have the new bike for next year. Canfield Riot.

YT Tues AL
Transition Klunker
Used NS Suburban

Three more to add to the six I already have...

Just got my new bike the other week, one word to describe it...EPIC!

If my glory snaps (please snap) I'm getting a Tues

I'm going to be getting a Process 111. Love the idea of the long low 29er with the short stays.

I don't NEED any new bikes, but I really WANT new bikes. If I talk myself into spending unnecessary money (and if I can sell my unrideable 26" bikes), it'll be going to YT for both a Tues and a Capra.

Going to build at least one frame by myself, Hardtail trail ripper. I've got a 2015 Bronson that I may look into replacing with the newer version or a Ibis Ripley LS or HD3. All depends on the frame building stuff!

Sticking to my 26" wheeled v2, after a year I still can't really comprehend how amazing this bike is!

New specialized enduro. I like 29 wheels now! Fast!

Just ordered a Patrol with a Fox/Shimano build.

Already have mine

2016 Transition Suppressor

RS front and back, Saint cranks, XT 1x10, Reverb Stealth, Superstar Tactic Wheels, Fatbars, Havoc Stem, Maxxis rubber

cool Suppressor DCR. I was glad to see them drop the blue pivot caps for 2016, they always killed me when I saw them on colors like the red one. Did you weigh it after you built it up by chance?

Thanks

Nah, not that bothered about weight. It "feels" lighter than the Tracer its replaced, but there isn't much in it.

I'm waiting for my XL 2016 Giant Reign Adv 1 to come in. It's looking like it won't be until the new year now though.

I just picked up a 2015 Devinci Spartan demo bike. hardly demo'd over the summer so its in great shape.

Waiting for zerode to release their trail bike..

Nope

Getting the 2016 Orbea Occam TR 29c to replace my problematic older Occam 29c. I'll be swapping everything over except the rear hub which will be an i9 Torch Classic 32 in boost 148. I'll be running my new Fox Factory 2016 34 at 130 instead of 120 for more of a DH worthy trail setup. After it's done it should be about 25lbs max.

What size you waiting on CuddlyToast?

Like "new new"? No way, I can't afford that at all. Insane how much bikes cost these days. I've bought 1 new whip all my days, back when I worked at shops. Spent as much on that as used bikes I get now a days. So as far as a "new to me bike"? Oh yeah.

Picked up one already, a '14 Cooker fat bike to try getting some riding in for the winter (and late fall/early spring), when conventional bikes don't cut it in the muck. Bought some snowshoes, too- so I can cut my own trails out in the park.

Picking up a new DJ/Park frame, too. Haven't had a dedicated DJ since mine was stolen a few years back. Probably shifting parts from a DMR Trailstar (which I consider more of a "do it all hybrid hard tail) over to an '11 Dartmoor Phantom if everything goes right.

Trying to get rid of a few of my other bikes, so others can have new to them bikes this year, a Moorwood Izimu and a BMC Trailfox. Not sure what I'll do with the DMR frame I'll have kickin' around... might part with that too, if I can find someone to buy it!

Trying new bikes really is an awesome part of MTB in my mind.

Already got mine!!!

Recently sold my -14 Bronson and got this playful little thing instead, Bronson2 with DVO and M60hv + bar/stem. Rides like a dream and feels like a Nomad light.

Biggest difference so far is lower crank and balancepoint more in the back, wheelie'ing over everything!

damn Tallak, that's a good lookin' bike right there...
