Used Product For Tested Only Strengths Stiff frame, good welds, good quality, great warranty Weaknesses Long chainstays (16") Similar Products Used Echo Pure, Echo ES4, Monty 231 X-Lite, Planet-X Zebdi Mark V, Megamo Dual Disc, Koxx Level Boss 1100, Magellan, Crescent Illions... Review While I personally don't like the way a bike with 16" chainstays feels on the rear wheel, many people find that they can gap further, jump higher, etc, due to the additional leverage. The disc tab mount is on the chainstay, which supposedly distributes braking forces more evenly to both stays. This frame is known as one that can actually handle rear-disc use without breaking. It's an all-around good frame that's good for all levels of riders.

Used Product For 2 Years or more Strengths Strong, Reliable, Warrantee, Similar Products Used Planet X Zebdi, Schwinn Homeygroan. Review If it is good enough for Santos... I've broken one, but man am I fat! The 26" disc fork is rockin' and compliments the frame well. The long chainstays (if 15.8" is long) are a benefit for wheelies, manuals, and j hops. Very good bike for tall people.

Used Product For Tested Only Strengths Looks... the paint jobs looks really sweet. Ride is stiff and fairly responsive. Weld quality seems good and the disc mount is a strong feature. Weaknesses Long chainstays make the bike feel fairly unprecise on the back wheel. It's got some good reach on it if you run a Brisa Elite Bar+stem Similar Products Used Orange Zero, Planet X Zebdi Mk4, Pace...etc! Review I'm pretty impressed with this frame... It's a good looker and feels really solid. I think one of the main reasons people will buy it is because of the rear disc mount, it's the most solid trials frame out there for rear disc use. Great all rounder frame, builds well into any type of bike for trials use really. Good stuff.

Used Product For 6 Months Strengths rear disc mount, sloped top tube, very solid frame Weaknesses rear disc mount ( clearance for hydrolic calipers, no room for mechanical) Similar Products Used Monty X-lite 221, Monty world champion 223, Orange Zero, Review I bought my B26D as a frame and built it up as an urban trials/dirt jumper. For the jumping application, I really like having the longer chain stays, I find that the strength and ridgitity of the frame as a whole makes up for being a little unstable when you're high on the rear end. I like the steep head tube angle, vs the Orange zero. Love my bike, will only trade it for next years model.

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths not one 26d broke yet warranty2years it is 1.8 odd kg Weaknesses needs a little off front and rear of frame but thats my prference in fairness there isn't a weakness as it does all it says it will and more Similar Products Used megamo'smontyb26,planetx mission,koxx.echo Review great how many pure trials bikes out there offer such a frame with this type of warranty have you seen nelson and chris ride ? No excusses about frame when you see how to ride it. It stiff strong now 04 version is lighter boosts an anodised paint job and i run a h33s with a standard booster and don't have flex credit where credit is due the frame is even balanced evenly onlike some bikes that are just good on the back wheel or on too wheeks for big ups 5 stars what beats it ?

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths welds, headtube & bb prep, S seat stays, dual disc tabs Weaknesses derailleur hanger, downtube denting, 26.8mm seat tube, Similar Products Used brisa b20, Review I purchased this as a kit along with the Brisa cockpit and disc fork. The frame comes well packed and arrives within a week after ordering. I immediately noticed the headtube and bb were already faced and prepped for assembly. The bb shell is a standard 68mm, so bbs come off the shelf. Assembly was a snap, BUT remember to tighten the ny-loc bolts for the rear disc adapter. Stable on the rear wheel and flickable.

Used Product For 2 Years or more Strengths very light, good looking, superb paint job, great clearance Weaknesses d/tube dents easily, no 4 bolt mounts on the rear, long rear end Similar Products Used handsomedog rockhound 11" Review i wrote a review on this frame a while back and have decided to add to it because i love the bike so much. it is so easy to pull the front up the disc mount in between the seat/chain stays is a superb idea as it distribute braking forces more evenly, and the paint job is among the best i have seen. that said the only weaknesses of the frame are the easily dented d/tube (brisa shave out more material on the "D" model to save weight) and there are no dedicated magura mounts on the back of the bike (this should really be standard on a trials bike nowadays) over than that awesome bike would recomend it to n e one j

Strengths nice and light, good looking, excellant paint job Similar Products Used handsome dog 11" Review I don't like the fact that it has no 4 bolt mounts on the rear, otherwise a good light frame which would suit the more advanced rider rather than your average rider.

Used Product For 2 Years or more Strengths Stiff, light weight, wheelbase, disc mount Weaknesses Paint chips, long chainstay Similar Products Used Zebdi, B26 Review One of the best frames any one at any level can buy. the frame is even better for the not so tall riders (under 6ft.). For the inner disc tabs, you would need to run a Marta not a Lousie if you're running Magura.
