xris_x Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 It is worth getting an Adamant A3 instead of an Echo Lite if you really have to choose between the two. The A3 is made from Ultra 6 alloy, which has a higher ultimate tensile strength than the 6061 T6 that the Echo Lite is made of, therefore the A3 is bound to last longer.The extra length of a long A3 over the Echo Lite (which in itself is very short), will have advantages, such as leverage for gaps and so on. The Lite would probably bunnyhop better than the long A3 due to its shorter wheelbase.However, both are good frames, with the Adamant being only £80 or so more expensive. The A3 also features the in-built brake booster so that's another plus over the Lite meaning that buying a seperate brake booster isn't as necessary.Hope this helped.

I heard someone say that the A3 is a bit heavy? is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Trialsin Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 i dont think mine is heavy at all and they ride so nice from what ive done on it so far. BUT i have been out of trials for a while so i dont know what the lite rides like. Its upto u really though, try and ride them both before making your decision.Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I went from a 05 T-pro to a Adamant A3, and i love it. I never quite liked it at first, but i got used to it, and it feels 10times nicer!!! just get the A3, you will love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
