Enduro SX or Reign X0?Have started looking into the options for a new rig and needed some advice....The Enduro SX is very popular and well known as a well built all-round bike. The Reign X0 I know less about, but Giant's Maestro linkage is meant to be tops atm. What do you guys reckon? |

i'd find it hard to chose between the two myself. but the Enduro has always had a more "hardcore" look about it. which probably isn't helped by being increadebly similar to the SX Trail.
so i'm going to say the Reign. |

yeah id go for the reign aswell | ||

Do you know of any mag reviews? I know I shouldn't be so cautious but haven't heard all that much about it.... | ||
| Heffers |
no actual mag reviews but a few online (not sure if ther are all for the right year.)
Here, Here and here hope they help. |

Cheers buddy. Looks very rosy overall. I know there are several different versions, but being based around the same frame can't go far wrong! (the version in the 3rd link is the one I'm looking at)... | ||

I prefer the four bar rear end and have an 08 SX, have ridden the Reign but found it a bit unresponsive, probably better at all day slogs if built light as it has a good platform but I prefer the DHX/four bar

I'm also gonna try my 888 SL ATA's on it soon | ||

That's a beut  That paint job is for the custom build only i believe?
How does the linkage compare with the FSR? (Have an FSR swingarm on the Norco ATM). |
||
| Dango |
Yeah custom, paid £1450 for the frame and fork and added the bits I already had, didn't think that the full built bike really had another grands worth of kit on it. As for the comparison, I don't know, similar? |

Phwoar what a beast dango. A hard choice, but i'd say the SX. | ||

How long have you had the speedball seatpost? I've recently bought one but heard they can develop problems after mud & damp. Have mine covered with some inner tube. |
||
| Dango |
Havent had any problems with damp, but the clamp did break during the warrenty period.
Great for solo riding when everyone else would be faffing, but truly I prefer Thomson for general riding |
