March Build of the Month - Versus Trigger

PeterD — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 03:09:00 +0000

This month’s bike is one meant more for DMC than for Waterdog (though I have ridden one at WaterDog) – a Versus Trigger.

Here is what our customer said:
“The Versus Trigger doesn’t disappoint. It has an ultra burly frame designed for Downhill/Freeride and is stiff in the rear. The bump absorption is great and the linkage is excellent for hitting berms at warp speed. It pedals decently without much pedal feedback. “

I have heard terms like “slope style” and flickable” used for this bike. The rear can be set at either 190 mm (7.5 inches) or 216 mm (8.5 inches) just by moving one bolt, so it definitely gets you down the hill in a fun way – this customer has tried both and is currently running it at 8.5”

“The Bomber 888 fork evens out the ride and absorbs jump landings like I hoped, and the Mavic Deemax wheels provide a secure feeling when hitting a big drop. “

“This bike is sweet and Charles and staff did a great job helping me make informed decisions and built me one solid bike! “

Watch for this bike on the DH course at the Sea Otter this year…
