hi, i ride a monsterboy, its slightly longer than the ti but only a bit , when on the back wheel it just sits there and gives you more time, the components are all koxx try-all and ive never had a problem with them, the brakes are hope try-all front and rear and stop in any conditions, the frame seems to give you plenty of room when riding , its strong but light and just looks smart , in my opinion the montys look the same every year just a change of colour. go with the monsterboy you'll love it. if you want info call koxx-uk on 07000 442232 they will give you all the help you need. james.
