Really nice.. not often you see Deemax on a freeride, in fact its specced out as good as a full-on race DH...

Outstanding bike! Saw one of these at Inners and highly impressed. Only loses a point coz the colour is not my taste - still cool though! I like the rest of the colour scheme and great spec. Enjoy! Rate mine plz.

sick bike beast spec must be godly to ride, rate my full sus

treksession88fr replied... on 17 June 2011

Thanks man, It's an awesome bike. If only I had Cam McCaul's skills I would get full use out of it. It loves to pop the jumps but rail the rough stuff, pretty light and compact so each to throw around. Love it.

that is a sexy bike how do you find the tubeless wheels/tyres

skubakat replied... on 17 June 2011

whats it like for getting or not getting puntures as that is a major problem for me not pinch flats just general punctures

treksession88fr replied... on 17 June 2011

Amazing running tubeless, so much grip even in damp conditions. I'd say tubeless is slightly heavier than I'd hoped, but then the tyres are pretty robust. Worth trying!

t27eng said on 17 June 2011

really really nice, although if it was me i'd have but boxxers up front i think. enjoy it and the alps, where abouts are you going?

t27eng replied... on 17 June 2011

haha, i thought my 13.9 was low!

treksession88fr replied... on 17 June 2011

Yeah, it's currently in the middle settings for everything with 7" of travel, so about 64.5 degree head angle which gives a low 13.75" BB... that's the only problem, go any slacker (64 degrees) and the BB drops to 13.5"... already clipping the pedals quite a bit! :) The 888s are back-up just in case. Hopefully the 66s are up to it, makes it more chuckable in the bike park! :)

t27eng replied... on 17 June 2011

ah yeah that's a good idea, although i'm sure the 66's are up to it, i would only do it for the slacker geometry and extra bit of travel for when the going gets tough! sounds really good, have fun :)

treksession88fr replied... on 17 June 2011

Cheers buddy. I've got 888 RC3 Ti which I'm taking with me to the Alps just in case the 66s aren't up to the brake bumps! Heading off to Morzing, Les Gets and Chatel for the 5th time, cannot wait, love it out there, but those brake bumps are a pain!

treksession88fr replied... on 17 June 2011

Thanks man. It was worth every penny as it rocks. It's heading off to the Alps in a few weeks, cannot wait!! Have to sell my lovely Trek Session to pay for this one, but worth it.

SO nice! really liking that and also the move away from Fox forks!

treksession88fr replied... on 17 June 2011

I love my 66 RC3 and because they're Ti spring they're super light. Soooo plush. Prefer them to the Fox 36s any day. Thanks for comments!

treksession88fr replied... on 17 June 2011

Cool. If you get one you'll love it. It's the most amazing ride I've ever had, soaks up anything but remains chuckable over the jumps. It's THE most fun I've had on a bike for a long time!
