well, #1 dont buy a jeep bike, they are wal-mart specials, white brothers shocks are HIGHLY overrated, they will be good for weight cross country but cant hold up worth shit if u jump anything over 8 feet, which is a minor drop. also DO NOT GET AIR REAR SUSPENSION. only get coil, or air/coil, air are adjustable but just cant take the bumps as well as a coil, also only have 3-4 inches of travel. thats just brutal. dont geta cross coutnry bike, they are lame, u will realize the only fun is going fast DOWNHILL or freeriding and want new suspension and a bike with the dimanics to go down hill. Norco is by far the best and cheapest freeride bikes, they have amazing geometry and bulletproof suspension, i took my 125cc norco, all i have is snafu peddles and a new rise bar, off a 12 foot cliff, i broke the rim in half, the res of the bike was fine, then i went back to my norco dealer, said that i broke the rim and that is lame, cause it was only 12 foot, and he gave me a new downhill rim for free that comes with lifetime warrenty, i put a kumo 2.5" wide tire on there and it's a beast. bike was 900 canadian, came with oversizes frame, Truativ Crank and Gearing, With chainguard/guide, all XT components, and is disc brake ready, with hubs and locating pins in rear frame and shock. the shock was a Z4( not the best) Long travel, giving 4.5" of travel, and ate everybump, it was a hardtale, but b/c of the low rear end seat, and narrowness of frame the only time u missed the rear suspension is on the little bumps. go to norco man, get a real bike, u wont be upset u did. also to any1 into freeride/downhill biking, come to vancouver, its the craziest biking in the world, ive broken 1 arm my pinky twice and i got some sexy pics to prove it
