Used Product For 6 Months Strengths Weight, geometry, looks, price Weaknesses strength Similar Products Used X-Lite stock, several X-Lite mods. Ridden almost every stock frame out there Review I really like this frame, great for competition style riding. Closest feeling stock frame to a mod bike. Great rear wheel control due to super short chainstays. I think I'd like something a little bit longer, but that is only because I like natural. Most riders will probably think this thing is plenty long. The price on it was great, $450. Not to mention this is one of the lightest frames available. Unfortunatly this frame probably exemplifies the old saying- light, strong, or cheap, pick any two. I haven't had any problems with mine, but I've see quite a few locals crack ES2s, and ES3s. My guess is that the only drawback to this frame is that it will probably crack faster than a lot of other frames, but that is just a guess, like I said, no problems with mine.

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths Super light and good strength... Weaknesses Need brake booster as the rear tend to flex a bit too much... Similar Products Used Giant STP1, Planet X Jack Flash... Review Overall cheap and light frame to go.. my skill improve with this frame as this is a true trial frame produce by ECHO. Was told that this version crack easily but have not crack up on me yet.. Very stable on rear wheel... only the brake hangers side tend to flex a bit too much... losing all the braking power you need when gaping.. (scary..) after install a booster.. it went all well...
