lukegaigertrials Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) hi,i am new to this forum and i am going to be purchasing a trials bike soon,i do not want to spend over £450, however i do not want to buy a realy cheap bike that will be not very good.I have been looking at the onza pro, onza blade, and the yaabaa 499.Can anybody give me any advice on which of these bikes i should choose and why, and which is best value for money, or even recommend me another bike?Thanks,Luke Edited April 14, 2009 by lukegaigertrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ. Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 If you ever thought about going stock (26") then the phase series are very good starter bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukegaigertrials Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 If you ever thought about going stock (26") then the phase series are very good starter bikes.im only 14, so would a 26" bike be harder for me to handle and control than a 20"?thanks!

lukegaigertrials Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) what biking experiance have you had? i ride a 26" jump bike, a 125cc motocross bike and a 20" bmx. I ride the bmx every day and every weekend at the skatepark and i can do things like 360's e.t.cYesterday i tried doing a little bit of trials on my bmx to see what i can do, and i learned to pedal kick?Luke Edited April 14, 2009 by lukegaigertrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisShaw Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 You really need to decide between mod or stock first. Looking at your bike background, you ride both BMX's and 26" bikes so it's not very clear cut.If you decide to go down the mod route (20") you should definitely have a good long look at the onzas. They're pretty much the best value bikes compared to the yaabaas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
