unicycle boy Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Which makes have people found the best for natural trials, on a mod? Also I have always wonderd why some bikes are better at natural than street, could someone explain the differance? Finally are there any mod frames out that are at all similar to the new koxx 26" (The one with onle one bar basically)?ThanksEdit : In your opinion who makes the best mod bikes (not concerning price)?

trialsinchris Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 i think montys are best suited for naturaland in my opinion the zoo python is the best mod frame out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 for natural, I would have a monty, for street I would have a monty.I recken montys make the nicest riding mods, all the others feel really bad to me (pythons being the worst bike I have ever ridden!)

BIG L Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Well there really isn't "a best bike" for natural it's what the rider finds most comfy and easy to ride. There are bikes that are easier to ride natural with if thats what you meant.Monty i would say is the easiest to ride natural with. I think they are better because they way they are built firstly take the example of the monty ti disk, 1) It has a 19"x2.6" monty back tire for extra grip on those rocks.2)It has a monty eagle claw bash plate (very spiky for grip if your wheel slips.)3)They frame is concaved to allow more manouverability.4)The stem is made of carbon fibre for lightness.5)It has a front and rear disk brake. (disk brakes don't slip in the wet).6)The handle bars are wider than usual to allow more control.These bikes are awsome and they are award winning bikes! The only bad thing is they come with a shimano freewheel and in my oppinion all the shimano parts i've had are rubbish so this freewheel maybe rubbish to, but definitely montys are worth the money!. Although Montys are brilliant bikes my opinion of who makes the best bikes has to be GU or ZOO they are simply the best for me anyway!!Hope i have helped Cheers BIG L Edited June 27, 2006 by BIG L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattB Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yeah monty's are the way to go with natural riding. They ride so much nicer nicer on natural surfaces as opposed to something like a zona. The monty has a 2.7" rear tyre for extra grip on the slippery surfaces. Also the only frame I've ever seen like the new koxx is this giant prototype.click Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrex Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I think it would be easier for a short bike for street and a long bike for natural, because i found that out when i went from a Brisa b26D (which is quite short) to a Koxx level boss 1065 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 My 03 monty absolutly pwned on natural!Weird thing is I don't know why. I had a da-bomb pro and when I changed to the monty it felt pretty similar to ride, but when I was riding it was wayy out-performing it. Its very flicky and really easy to re-position on rocks, only thing you could moan about is the long seat tube, but to be honest that doesn't really hinder a great deal of tuckageMonty 4tw!

unicycle boy Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Do any places sell the old monty frames? I don't really want a new one as I don't have the cash, so prefer to buy and old one. (Anything has to be better than me t-bird)Also I have been checking ebay regually for several weeks and have not been able to see anything, any ideas?

sunn_bmixx Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I find that monty's feel too short for me as i ride a Python and i used to ride a 26". Monty are very responsive bikes and are quite twitchy. All depends how you like it. Short and strong or Long!Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
