I just compared the measurements and I never realized how similar the two frames are.

I think if anything, the Scirocco is probably a little bit stronger (thought the holeshot is super tough) and the Holeshot is a little more suited to freeriding with it's TT length (though the scirocco would be sweet as well).

Add all that to the fact that you're comparing two companies with probably the two best reps for customer service in the industry and you've got yourself a really tough decision.

try them both and then go with the one painted in the prettier colour

I saw a picture in the latest FLOW magazine. Sweet looking frame. Wetted my appetite. I've been thinking about a RM Flow or a Cove Stiffee, and will definately be adding this bike to the list.

Don't know if they are out yet. Guess you could phone On Pot Bike Shop.

You'd have to be pretty hard on the frame to break a Holeshot. If that's a concern look past both and straight to the Morphine.

we ran a holeshot very hard and all it did was crack at the brake side chainstay after 2 seasons .Brodie was good for warranty, they supplied a new frame before I gave up the old frame... so warranty took exactly 2 hrs at my dealer and the new frame has an extra gusset at the brake side dropout,its been a great bike .

My dealer told me the brodies with B'ox tubing are dc fork warrantied

We got the scream,no idea what the Morphine is like but I'm betting the banshee will be also be a great bike

a couple of winners IMO

The Scirocco looks super sweet. I would say that. But then again, I'm a banshee man myself...

My service manager just got one. It's SICK. It will be my chouce for frame as soon as I get some money for a HT.

First, the frame is HELLA light. Like 4 lbs or something. Mega burly all the way around and incredible attention to detail....it just looks confidence inspiring. On top of that, The lengths and angles are amazing. I love it. It looks like it could take so much trail abuse. But that's what it is, a trailbike. It's not a street hucker or anything...but I don;t want that in a trailbike anyway . I say if you're a smooth jumper/streeter/stunter or just a trailrider...it'll be amazing!

I know I'll love mine....DeeMaxes, Talas, Michie 2.2 WildGrippers (tubeless), full RF...the ultimate everything HT
