streetrider2k10 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hey guys I've been on the forum for quite a while but never really used it. Rite now I'm riding an onza rip and I was just wondering what should I get next an Echo light or a Zoo lynx. What one would be better for a beginner looking to upgrade?

angua Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I got my echo yesterday and it is amazing,like AMAZING. Personally i would go for echo lite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashes Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Personally i prefer the zoo lynx frame as thats what im upgrading to. I think before you go buying a full bike price up how much it would cost you to build one. Thats what ive done and ive found i can do it cheaper. Ashes.

Jack Morton Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Lynx seems to be more popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmkid97 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 If i was you i would stick with the onza rip for a while longer because its a good bike and i bet there is alot more you can learn on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cundog123 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 The zoo lynx looks so much nicer and it does seem to be more popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty-james Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Id say Zoo Lynx but dont rush out and upgrade yet. Make sure your ready for an upgrade, if you dont need the upgrade yet, youll regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 is your current frame holding you back ? an upgrade is only an upgrade if you really need it to ride more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 it's about your taste man echo is little lighter, but IMO zoo! is more beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joea Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Get the zoo mate because i have had 2 echo frames and cracked them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anusthegreat Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Definately, ZOO! regarding your question. But why would you trade your brand new frame to a new one? Anything wrong with geo for you? I, personally, go for upgrading Onza. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modifiedridah2k9 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I got my echo 07 yesterday and it is amazing,like AMAZING. Personally i would go for echo lite.

Kieran. Get the zoo mate because i have had 2 echo frames and cracked them both. Its called taking care of a bike mate, how did it crack, possibly a bashplate incident?

Its called taking care of a bike mate, how did it crack, possibly a bashplate incident? are you stupid? taking care of your bike? it cracks because you ride it, and the stress on the frame makes it eventually cracks. taking care of your bike has nothing to do with it at all. you could keep your bike as clean as you want, regularly greese things, all that kinda stuff.... it will have no effect on weather your frame cracks at all!! at the end of the day, trials bikes are made to take different kinds of abuse from riding, not made to be "taken care of". and what i cant get my head around is why do people care about so much weight stuff, what is the difference in weight? like 50g? come on man, grow up, ride your bike and stop being a idiot. its not like your at the limit of trials riding where a few g's make a difference, i dont care about weight, the only thing i care about is having a good strong part. i have seen far more snapped echos than zoo's. if you think about it, an echo is a thinner, and lighter version of a zoo... therefor it not being as strong. rant over Edited July 24, 2010 by Sam Styles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First question, yes i am so i have been told. And yeah it takes about a year of intense riding to crack a frame, but i was just asking its possible he was chucking it on the ground, pedal kicking onto walls really hard and so on. Look i was just saying, no need for are you stupid, Geez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people drill holes in their lever blades to save like 3 grams. And to be honest i dont care if echos snap more than zoo!'s, as echos ride better IMO.

dirt jumper jake Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Compare the geo of the lynx and the lite on tarty, there basically the same so its personal preference but i know when i come to upgrade it will be a lynx... but only cos ive allready had a lite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Zoo! bikes crack easier? Doubt it. My pythong from 05 has been absolutely battered and is still going strong. Seen plenty of cracked echos though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
