i wouldnt exactly call them long travel, have they got 110?
A p.3 wuldnt be my pick for a freeride bike, id rather an 04 norco shore hardtail bike there some good freeride bikes.

You could problly get an 04 rampage for the same price as a p3 and they are alot better.

Its a good bike for what it is but i'd hunt around and look at Norco and the likes.

I think they are a little under equipped considering what else is on the market

hey wat u ppl think do u think its worth $200 to upgrade from DJ-3 130mm to Z-1 dropoff triple clamp 155mm and from aricle freeride bars to titec El-Notre 1.5 and from Alex MX-22 to Sun Single Track
do u think that is worth $200 more?

Err i'll wait for someone to correct me after this since I havent tried a dropoff triple, but its not like ALL that much more fork than a DJ3. $200 seems like a reasonable price for the upgrade. What bikes this on?

Oh yeah rampage>P3 bigtime. P bikes are nice, but are they kinda overpriced or what? Norco shore hardtails seem like the value kings this year.

yeh the P3 is 2500
whereas the rampage is only bout 1900

p3 is sweet... they go well for general thrashing... DC's on a hardtail is pretty stupid... monster T's on a Le Toy is 'core.... yeah!!!
