Ben H! Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) well i prefer the lite i've ridden both lite feels better Edited March 26, 2008 by Czartrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Personal preference really, the Teams have the CNC booster which the echo doesnt but the lite has a rear disc mount.Team is also heavier but only slightly, all depends what you prefer and if you have the extra £70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 get the lite toby, they look way cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJon Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 The Lite is lighter and looks 'cleaner' IMO, however the Team is stronger material and the built in booster is definitely a plus point... Maybe check the condition (threads and head tube specifically!) and age of both frames carefully, then make a decision from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe check the condition (threads and head tube specifically!) and age of both frames carefully, then make a decision from there?Bollocks, it's the same material. But the lite has less of it, making it weaker, but lighter.Still the strongest stiffest frame I have ever owned.I've had 3 Lites now, get a lite.

AdamR28 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Bollocks, it's the same material.The Lites are 6061-T6 and the Teams U6... last I heard anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky w Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have a cnc echo 06 team.I think if you want a strong and reliabel frame u should buy a team but if you want a cheeper but not much weaker frame u should buy a lite there both great frames. enjoy your new frame :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride a 06 cnc team and i think the echo team rides nice if you like a flicky bike thats nice to gap. I'v never rode a lite so i carn't tell u what they ride like.

Nickkkkk Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I have an Echo Team and i think its awsome. I go to all the comps and i never saw one Team other than mine, not even some posh git on a new one! They were all riding Lites? So you do stand out a bit on the Team, but in a good way.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobiasmaxximus Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ritey then, the weekend is over and i got to have a an hour or so on each bike as my friend wigy has an echo lite and parr has just got an echo team. i'd try and explain what i thort of them but they was both mint setups and felt nearly the same. I could ride both equaly well, but i also had the opertunity to have a play on a short xtp with double disc's. that was the first time id rode with a disc on the back rather than a maggy. oh my god it was soo good, it like floated up eneything i tryed and ive been riding 26" for many months lol. Soo im now thinking of getting an xtp 20" in short. does eneyone else agree with me that the xtp is far superior than the echo's ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
