440... you gotta give it up.. even thought im not part of the 174 crowd up here, im aware..
seriously. if theres a good rider on the 174 you CANT follow them on shorter tracks unless you track poach your arse off. been there, seen it lots, big tracks work. I know the places a bunch of these fella's speak of, you dont get the priveledge of momentum. yes, you can still enjoy the piss out of a 153 all day long, same areas... just not the same lines/parts of the hills. I ride with plenty of 174's and think there freakin sweet.... also seen plenty of smack talkers come along, they dont go home thinkin the same after a day of playing unstuck in the woods.
Not gonna lie 189 is freakin insane big, and might start to hit the end of the "to big" concept... heck, i think my 162 is kinda short these days. but oh well, they are probably insane fun to ride.
