  1. Hi to everybody.

    Has anyone tried this mountain bike? I know his frame is designed for 4cross
    but is it suitable for all-mountain also?

    I tried the Enduro Pro ad I found it too high from the ground... So I'm
    thinking to buy the SX.

    Thanks
    Enrico

    I had an SX. I don't think you would enjoy using it for all mountain.
    It's got a very slack angle and getting up the hill would take way too
    much energy. It's also quite heavy. Additionally, the Enduro Pro has a
    higher bottom bracket. The SX's BB is lower than most XC bikes because
    it is a slalom bike. You wouldn't want that for all mountain. I
    couldn't clean a simple logover without it gouging into the wood.

    There are much better bikes for all mountain in that price range. Yes,
    the frame has a high "cool" factor in terms of look, but it's
    functionality you are going to need.
