Eh, but NX is heavy, and the frames are built to last. Its an enduro bike, not a trail bike. I applaud Transition for making bikes that are servicable, reliable and (likely) to outlast the competition. I'm riding one of their alloy frames now. My bike is not light. I have no problems going uphill compared to a lighter enduro rig and am less scared when I throw it into a pile of rocks. YMMV.

Where it shines: Singletrack slayer. Very, very fast. Proficient at popping and pumping. Corners like a bobsled. Solid as a bank vault. Good climber, not as good as a virtual-pivot bike or a DW-link, but very competent. All-around party machine. Where it lacks: It is a bit heavy feeling on steeper climbs, but honestly not bad. It has a tendency to make you forget you are on a 120mm trail bike and not on a destroyer-of-worlds war-chariot and that can get you into trouble, but that's more of a plus in my opinion. *Update* I got a lot more saddle...

Why Kirt's edits are the best in the biz: 1. The way he see's the world while on a bike is so unique, every piece of content he ever unleashes upon the world reflects his originality and can never be duplicated. 2. Watching his edits make me want to try and duplicate everything he does because it looks obtainable and so much fun. 3. How smooth and effortless he makes things look, only to attempt them myself and get served a huge piece of humble pie. 4. He's always having more fun than anyone else, his attitude and outlook on...

Can't stand thin grips and had always used ODI rogues. Then I tried Ergon GA2 Fats. They are amazing.

7/24/2019 8:40pm

It's funny, people often say they "want better damping" as if for example a more expensive fork is going to inherently have damping that "feels smoother" or whatever. If you look at how hydraulic damping actually works, you'll soon understand that more damping will always equal a harsher ride, especially when talking about any kind of high-speed suspension event (talking about shaft speed, not the speed of the bike although the two are often related). Damping in and of itself is not something "smooth", even though it involves moving oil around. A spring is something very dynamic. It resists compression...
