Im 6foot2 and from the pics it seems like
the seat is fairly low, im guessing this is
so its out of the way for street trick riding
etc when ure not ever really sitting on the seat.
Can it be put up abit so it can be sat on while
riding tracks etc enough without breaking heaps
of seat poles?
thanks heaps for ure help

yeh im pretty sure thats where the trail comes from in "Street Trail park". I have seen people riding these in downhill races. I say it could even be used for all mountain stuff.

i was one of them who did.... lol
just a note though..... DONT RACE ON THE STOCK BRAKES
get yourself some hfx9's or whatever... cause i was going through the pads on the stock breaks within 4 days of riding with pylet... and costing 50$ for 2 pads... so 100$ for all new pads for front and back.......whereas u can get hfx9's for 400$ total.... and i was still going string on the original pads after like 3 months.... plus the added bonus of ALOT better stopping power :p
ummmm and i did replace the derallier to a x9 because of a few reasons... one been the stock derallier is a long cage... bad for DH... but use it untill you smash it.,.. then get a newie :D .. lol
