I'd stay clear of the Suntour XCR fork and Tektro brakes on the Nuke Proof, The Marquette (which I never heard of) has a better spec than the Nukeproof, but lower than the...

12/3/2017 1:21pm Personally, I get kind of bored and distracted from what RedBull does (for example), with their clever "gimmicks". It's great cinematography, but there are too many bells and whistles for something that, in my eyes, is better conveyed, at the moment, with a RAW.
