Review
I used the 1060 for close to a year, had a stint with the level boss long mod...disliked the wheels, went back to my roots with the 1100. It is beauty, it is the advantage, it is untouchable.

When i first rode this bike, i could not believe how long it felt (1065) and it took 2 weeks to become completely used to the feel. I could not up or wheelswitch with any great success. Now i am completely used to it i have improved incredibly, and the extra length is so good, lots of bikes are now mimicking koxx with this aspect.

It's the best bike i have ever ridden and i can't see me ever changing, it looks sexy, rides great, and put simply, i can't find a flaw with it.

If you have the money top purchase this top frame, do it, if you are a pure trials rider (street riders with their bunnyhops probably won't agree with the frame) you won't regret it.

Ok, This is one *long* frame.
But before i start, i have to get one thing out of the way. It is wicked for street. No matter what people say about needing a short frame for street, thats just wrong. It spins and ballances so smoothly it's not real!

Ride: This frame takes some getting used to, for the first 2 weeks i had it, it was quite odd. It's long, and low at the front end (i added some more headset spacers). But trust me, once you get the feel for it, your hooked. It has a huge ballance point on the back wheel, and is so easy to gap with. It spins fine, i can 180 spin without much effor, and 360 stair drops etc are all within it's reach. It's amazing for natural too.

This weighs over 5lb, so it's not light by any means. But to give you an idea of how strong it is, only ONE has EVER been broken (by a koxx world team rider in 1999). So when i say this is strong, I mean this is STRONG. If you are a weight freek though, maybe not the frame for you.

It looks amazing, the finish is perfect, and very scrath resistant. Stickers may not be to everyones taste (i had my own custom made), but they do the job fine.

Has no seat hole, but hay, not a big deal - who needs a seat anyway?

Now i've gotten used to my levelboss i love it, and wouldn't change it for any of the other frames i've ridden.

Perhaps the most successful competition frame ever, this frame holds massive potential.

I've been on an 1100 for a year now and have gotten very used to this stretched out style. Though pedaling along is uncomfortable at 1100 mm wheel base.I am destroying obstacles which once dominated me.
I can roll up about handlebar height ,and roll at speed through sections most have to rear wheel through.
At 5 lbs the frame is VERY heavy,but the geometry makes up for this and feels light.
My only complaint is that my gaps have suffered.If the frame is too long to slap your thighs on the bars when gapping, it can hold you back a bit.
I would suggest the 1100 for those 6'3" and above
and the 1085 for those down to 5'10".
Not a beginner bike, but a fine weapon for those
moving up in the world.

this bike is cheating. it's unfair to anyone riding another bike. i could care less. i have one.

only thing i don't like is magura mounts. my maguras feel great, but they don't hold.

weight is not an issue as a frame lighter than this in the same geometry would be destroyed by me in a day.

This bike is the most comfortable trials bike I've ever ridden. Takes a while to get used to it but it will redeem every penny you spend on it. You'll improve faster than you'd dream.

Well! Better believe a Koxx! this level boss has been passed down from the 1st all the way to me (3rd) gen riders in Singapore. Although my Levelboss wasnt brand new when I got it, I never once doubted its ability to work for me and My own ability!! It is frankly speaking... like riding a 3 tonner(Army studs know this one..haha) made from carbon fibre... (strong and powerful!) If power is what YOU want, then POWER is in your OWN HANDS! It really speaks for itself.

I own the 1040.

This frame is very good. At first when you get on it it feels high but once your used to it. After a few rides you will notice your riding becoming better and smoother. It holds on the backwheel like a dream. Alot of people say it rides weird, it doesn't i dont know anything that rides as nice and it doesn't take alot of getting used to. If youve got the money buy one.
