streetjibs Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) first up - Huge thanks to tartybikes for accomodating all my needs and delivering everything wrapped up super tight and all round superb customer service.Well, its been about 2months since my 1st gen droxx died... so been waiting a while for this and havent had a chance to ride it yet (damm work), so not going to post any reviews til iv had a chance to really try her out. But i can say this, im uber stoked at how good it came together. Total weight 8.8kg.. previous bike around 10kg! more pics to come on richmondtrials in the next few days.. cheers danny.

N.Wood Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 KOXX=Fail!How can you even trust them if your Hydroxx broke? It's really nice though!What are you talking about? Just because his previous frame broke, doesn't mean 'Koxx = fail'. You don't know how long he had it ( a fair while I think), how its used, how heavy he is etc etc. Don't make blanket statements that arn't true.Anyways... Bike looks rad as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Aaah, I was wondering if this would show up here. I tried to make sure that the bike was wrapped up nice 'n' tight, didn't want a bike that expensive getting battered in the post! Glad you're liking it anyway, and long may that continue...Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetjibs Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) Thanks Mark, really was impressed by how carefully it was packaged, its great to know such care is taken, especially when it has to travel to the other side of the world Cheers Nick, and you're right, the hydroxx lasted me over a yr and a half, which is much more than they lasted alot of other folks who went on to ride another koxx after it. Besides, to date (til now maybe) the hydroxx was the best feeling trials bike ever imho, over 12/13yrs of riding. Id happily buy koxx again! The fork is tryall alu - available from tartys in silver or blackWill be posting a review or some sort of "first impressions" in the next few days.. stay tuned!thanks for the comments guys - I actually have to replace the rear rim, silver again or a set of black??

Canardweb Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) I'm sorry, but I won't trust Koxx... Now they do make very nice bikes, and your hydroxx lasted for ages!SO, ONE THING TO SAY: Enjoy your bike ('cause that's what trials is about!)

tmusson Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Looks nice but i much prefer the orange sky now its out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetjibs Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Looks nice but i much prefer the orange sky now its out.considering the length, i prefer the higher bb of the grey sky. i did have the choice of the orange at time of ordering (im a koxx dealer for australia).update on how it rides... stiffest seatstays ever, possibly even stiffer than the atomz which is considerably stiff. Noticeably more rigid than my hydroxx was!BB rise (65mm... 50 on the orange) really suits the wb and makes it stil feel lively and flikable, especially good whenyour not that tall, like myself. There are some moves that instantly felt nicer, wheelswitches, gaps to front/rear, everything feels solid, now with dk on the rear im back to natty riding and absolutely loving this bike.All the skys will have the same solid feeling/rigid designs, just pick the geo that suits you best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
