Rad-ish hardtails

[DangerDirtyD]

Based on build kit.....looks to be on the old side....geo is gonna be very outdated.

Not to mention that the description says SID fork....but looks like fork has Reba or Recon on it. Yes, little details like that matter.

But not tire width!

Yeah, noticed the Reba on the pic. The geo doesn’t look too dated, but who knows. Hard to say for sure from the pics.

It's dated old enough to have QR rear wheel.

Yup! Hard to find that latest and greatest bike for $900!

There was a Honzo ESD frame for sale on Pinkbike... It lasted about 6 seconds.

When does it arrive?

I wish... I've been watching the Buy/Sell pretty closely, and I was too slow.

I rode a On One Summer Season 456 back in the day. Slack steel hardtail that took a big fork. Well ahead of its time apparently..

Cool!

They are still pushing the boundaries, and have probably the most aggressive hardtail on the market today...

Rode one of these set up as a 27.5+ and it was a lot of fun.

Since I've been pretty much hardtail party lately

Am I liking this?

Of course I have no real reason to replace mine as it's kicking butt!!!

Good resurrection, bv.

Looks fun as hell. Radder 120-fork bikes are a cool thing. That one would get my interest. Sliders FTW.

...and take 29 x 2.6" FTW.

Hardtail Party on YouTube just did a review on the frame. Should be seeing a ride review soon.

If I were in the market for a less aggressive hardtail, this one would be at the top of the list: https://www.pipedreamcycles.com/shop/sirius/ The company has been pretty cool to deal with, and is active on their Facebook page. Lots of good stories, no bad...

It's not titanium, but the company has dabbled in it. They made a very limited run of my Moxie in Ti last year. I'm hoping for another batch.

 

[redwoods]

Yep, I need to ride my HT more.

I'm starting to need a not so rad geared hardtail. Cotic Solaris and Stanton Sherpa always high on my list, but Pipe Dream's Sirius is looking good. Esker's Japhy as well.

Rode my rad-ish HT today. Not the fastest on the DH but I did manage a 13.8 mph average.

Who’s up for a Hardtail group ride Sunday or Monday afternoon?

I'm sure @UPSed will join you for a chunkfest on his rad purple hardtail. See if you can pace him.

Pretty sure Esker is putting all their R&D into folding bikes now. I saw one in Utah last week...

Every ride is a hardtail ride...

Even Sunday Afternoon? Wanna do Monroe?

 

[DangerDirtyD]

I plan to demo the Marin El Roy on Tuesday at Bonelli. Looking forward to a few ridgelines and also fireroads to see what the hype is.

 

[Faust29]

Only time for a quickie in the morning... But today was magical at Chilao! I can say for certainty that 50% of all the bikes out there today were hardtails.

TMI.....

I'd ride Monroe with DDD tomorrow if the window was large enough. Afternoon, not so much. We have a new oven and will be calibrating a turkey for Thanksgiving feastivities.

I assume you have sold your Barcalounger?

It's sitting naked and afraid in the corner of the garage.

Yeah both of those bikes look very interesting to me. After I bought my Esker Hayduke I had wished I did a little more research, the Cotic Solaris looks awesome. Now I really wish I would've done some more research. Haha.

Hardtails are becoming popular again because even though majority are being built out of "steel" the geometry and ride feel is plenty for the riding we have here in So Cal and the majority of trails in the Southwest.
