There's a lot of love for the bird but I'm just not feeling it. me neither , good spec for the money ..but just don't do it for me . looks like something can get trapped in that top tube section when coming off . |

Looks ain't everything boys - I know I haven't rode the Aeris but people who have are raving about it. If it's anywhere near as good a FS as the Zero is a HT it's a winner. It's much more important to me how a bike rides, not how it looks. TBH though I am perfectly happy with the Chief so as long as it doesn't break, I'll be keeping that for the foreseeable - why try and improve on what already works for you? The Chief has got me up and down Snowdon and all around Wales as well as a Peaks ride with out missing a beat, it's a great bike imo. PS, also, wouldn't it be boring if we all liked the same bikes?  |

It would be very very boring mate ..and everyone would be buying the same bike then the price of that bike would then be hiked up in price ..hence the santa cruz prices are just stupid money and still rising in prices ..can't get over the £9k price of the intense tracer 275c factory bike . |

It's only stupid money, if you haven't got it to spend, or don't want to spend it! Plenty of people are prepared to, hence the costs steadily rising. 0% finance has killed Mtb purchasing! Anyone can have any bike for £100 per month. Manufacturers realise this!... |

This Intense, colour coordinated like a boss! I love it!  Must say, the Santa Cruz Nomad in the blue/pink with Enve wheels or the Yeti SB6C arent bad either! |

If I was raiding the Santa Cruz stable for a " trail/ enduro " bike then the 5010 is the one I would go for ( I've ridden both ) .
