Kieran@ZSClothing Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Koxx 100% I have had both of those bikes and the ko isn't that nice and super heavy the koxx rides amazing and its super light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladie Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Koxx 100% I have had both of those bikes and the ko isn't that nice and super heavy the koxx rides amazing and its super light.That is true, but Koxx's are really not that strong so not very good as you are beginner and will be making beginner errors.The spec of the KO is really really good for £400, I would say go for that and then maybe get a new frame if you really dislike it.

Duncy H Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I myself ride a koxx xtp2, for me I absolutely love it. Although I think your choice should be made on what style of riding you are wanting to do. I myself like riding natural with some street too but the Ko is suited for more tgs moves.

Simpson Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Do not get the Koxx... they are dog shit... they may well ride well but its only a matter of time till its in 2 pecies and you have to shell out £300 on a new frame.

Ciguena_dreamer Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I would say the Ko, main reason is for the time it will last compared to a Koxx. Only problem about the Ko is that the brake mounts are welded to high up so you have to have your wheel all the way forward to get a square brake set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
