Used Product For 3 Months Strengths Good weight, Very stiff, Great Geometry. Weaknesses Dropouts- You cannot turn the quick release properly. Similar Products Used DDG Shooter, Echo ES2, Onza T-Raptor Review This seems to be a great frame. After the early model echos snapped they went back to the drawing board and redesigned them. The result is this. It has a longer top tube and slighty longer chain stays, which gives it a 1040 mm wheelbase. It is amazing on the backwheel and is great for tapping up big walls because of the added length. The urban seems to be strong but only time will tell if it suffers from the easy snap curse.

Used Product For 3 Months Strengths Great geometry, Well flickable, tidy on the backwheel Weaknesses none so far, other than tight BB shell, had trouble fitting Race Face Evolve ISIS BB. dropouts dont hold the backwheel in as secure as id like. Similar Products Used Echo Es3, Orange Zero, DMR Sidekick Review Excellent frame. Had Echo ES3 before hand and snapped it after 10 months riding. looks like they've fixed the previous problems, changing design and factory. should hopefully last!! will let you all know in another 6 months if its doing well.

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths Looks, weight, size, strenth, great on the back wheel. Weaknesses none Similar Products Used Brisa, Echo, zoo, tested koxx. Review This is a realy good frame that is worth the money and one of the best trials frames made by Echo. This frame is a easy frame to get up natural cources but street can be a bit rough on it.

Used Product For 6 Months Strengths great back wheeling, stiff, strong so far Weaknesses no tire clearance, what happened??? Similar Products Used ES-3, Norco Review I loved my ES-3 and I love this too, except for the rear tire clearance. I don't know if I got a defect or what. With a Alex DX32 and an Intense 909 2.5 tire I had to sand off some side knobs and it still rubs. My favorite part is when a pebble gets caught between the tire and yoke, skids are so cool! Other then that it's the best frame I've ridden.

Used Product For 6 Months Strengths Easy rider, strong (so far), cheap Weaknesses none so far Similar Products Used None really, just MTB's Review I got tired of beaking MTB frames everytime I hopped on my back wheel (rear disc brake) The Echo Urban has so far lasted with a rear disc brake. If you are curious, I am running a 24 x3" rear Gazzolodi tire, there be clearance down there. As I haven't rode any other trials frames, I can't say this one is better than any others, but I personally love it. Its super easy to do stuff on the rear tire, and it handles nice and sharp.
