Andrew C Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Hi well as the title says i was wondering what was stronger an echo lite or a zoo lynx as they both look like twins durability wise.The reason im asking this is because i recently cracked my Koxx xtp 2 which i loved so i need a new frame thanks .

I definately say the ZOO! Lynx Pleb.Im my opinion the Echo Lite looks way to flexy and weak and the tubing looks really thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Id really love if someone who has been on both these bikes or at least one of them to tell me there opinion.

I am ze best Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) I prefer the look of a echo lite but it is quite light for a echo and therefore may not be as strong as the zoo! Edited August 28, 2009 by I am ze best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 the lynxalthough Im not sure about the lite, the lynx (and the stock version the pirahna) are build pretty toughly with nice sized tubing for stays so they wont fold like cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale-Hill Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Joe Maher did. He has the oo! now though doesn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Joe Maher did. He has the oo! now though doesn't he?He had en 09 echo team I believe which cracked or something now he has a lynx.From looks I would say lynx is stronger, I've had a quick go on one and it flexes less than you imagine. If I remember correctly someone on here had the 09 echo lite, he posted pics and a video of him on it. I don't think he was from the Uk, his bike was crazy light too, something under 8kg I think it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
