im just takilg about how much better the frame is over the design of other models. you have lower standover height, you can run the seat lower if you want to, its a lot less bulky, and the new suspension design has a much better shock rate.

my custom stinky..
09 pike 454 air:)
deity, funn, fox, easton etc etc

I mainly use it for dirt jumping and freeride. I also do some DH but it does only have 5 inches of travel so its usually in the air rather then smashing through rocks along the ground.
I love it.

its not mad defective. the big hit groms were built for smaller riders that want a downhill style bike just like the kona stinky 2-4. the groms were a good frame, as long as you were small enough.

never rele was a fan of shivers. or dorados. or pretty much any inverted fork on a downhill bike. i always prefered the regular dual crowns. i just like the look of them way better and they are stronger.
