What is the rear travel on these? I can't seem to find it on their website.

Anybody got one? How does it ride? I wonder how durable it would be compared to a heckler-prophet-sx trail

Rear wheel travel = 145mm = 5.7"

I know reading isn't emphasized as much these days but, c'mon, this took me less than 10 seconds to find.

I ride one and so does a buddy of mine. I just bought the frame (magma) as I had broken my Turner 5-spot and wasn't sure if they'd give me an new frame (they did - Turner is awesome!). My buddy bought the Magma complete bike.

It can handle a dual crown fork - although I wouldn't put one on. They are a great all round bike - climbs well (his bike is 34-35lbs mine is about 36lbs) with full seattube and steep seattube angle. The pike fork is really cool (not that I have one) and he seems to enjoy his. Horst linkage is nice to have. Really nicely spec'd. The single walled sticky tires are good for Fromme but not so good for say Cypress.

Only one complaint - the inflation valve for the 3-way is only accessible if you take the shock out of the frame.

Currently it's my favorite bike because it does it all nicely (though not a Whistler DH bike by any means it will work at the bike parks). If I could only have one bike this would be it (but I CAN have more than one so I do :-)

PM me if you have more specific questions.
