For the $$$ i couldnt go past this 1!
Ironhorse have shown that they know what theyre doing in the frames department and the spec for the price compared to other brands was unbeatable!
no other choice in my mind:)

your first downhill bike is the one you remenber the most!!
regardless if there are better or worse value out there, its yours!! and thats whats important ( and to ride it) just punch someone in the nose if they 'dis your bike. its a petty thing to do.
ride it hard and enjoy it mate.

We'd hope so, eh pete? Otherwise old mate will be in for a nasty suprise...:eek:
But in all, it looks the goods. I hada kumicho for my first dh bike and they run really well. Never gave problems until one fateful day....
They're really good value for money. Ride her well. :D

Nice bike, just watch those swingarms. The above poster has gone through two, and he wasn't exactly hucking off cliffs. Should be fine though. It will alll be covered by warranty if you do have a problem. Colour is hot

Sweet rig, Im not sure if they have fixxed their cracking problems but they do have a rather good waranty. Make sure you keep the pinch bolts on the cranks tight, and even.
