One name for all models, but different strokes, geometry and determination, full suspension bikes are Collosus, of which we tested the cheaper mid-range model designed for XC.

Stiffness and comfort

Angular profiles of almost all the tubes give a strong sense toughness, which is clearly confirmed in practice as much as possible. The upper and lower conical tube connects the head with the bottom 1.5''bearing. Stretching before catching seatpost distinctive sloping top tube. Double curved down tube has a front of the center housing a kind house for attaching the lower rocker arm pivot rear triangle, which also carries a floating shock. Forged virtual pivot arm is guided by the central case, for it is then connected to a screw and bolt connecting the rear of the building. This is a piece, strongly profiled with feet, a pair of vertical struts for a saddle around the pipe and a significant flattening of the seat tube with pin hooks on the upper one-piece forged rocker. Virtual suspension with Fox RP2 shock gives the rear axle travel 115 mm.
Although the wheel is designed for XC, hide them from the first moment a little closer to the lighter enduro or trail bikes. The rider sits further back, the hands are not too high, wide handlebars but certainly do not indicate anything about gobbling miles in a slanted position. We silencer for riders weighing 85 kg inflated to 200 PSI and SAG was roughly a quarter. The first shot was quite familiar with decent acceleration and only a small plunge shock influence pedaling. Absolutely perfect, then the overall stiffness of the frame when not in the rocker arm to avoid twisting. From the saddle frame was virtually intractable, which confirmed the spurt with a locked fork and shock.
Overall ease of driving, although supported by the narrower tires, which would, given the appropriate sample rather smoother surface and very strong ambitions for the more challenging terrain wheels, rather exchanged for the coarser model, but went round in spite of significant weight just under fifteen kilograms very well.

Each shot was converted to pedal efficiently on the move forward was given a slight roll propruћovбnн rider in the saddle, pull the chain on the system did not respond, as well as braking, which also blocked the rear wheel to prevent solidification pronounced rear of the building. After the plane and climb into the suspension of the rider really neokrбdalo energy. In the field, then showed up a surprising depth of rear travel, which as might be much larger than the quoted value. Small rear triangle inequality perfect copies, with a greater impact then goes more into the lift, but we never did not feel any discomfort progressive increase that we have exhausted all possibilities of stroke. Front Fork ass though closely followed, but the sensitivity and performance against a little lost.
Despite hide behind the rider more comfortable position, not a problem with it much rest and enjoy the ride as a full plane and up the hill. Building on the back came up steeper passages, but climbing skills are decent bikes. Home was definitely in a downhill bike, where we gained the impression rather of a higher stroke bike category. Attract handlebar, the rebound edge or a full ride broken passages, it was such a commonplace, as if these were not the bike for XC and Marathon. Having a slightly higher stroke, this would be much relaxed XC machine and fast enduro.
Control wheel corresponded with its driving characteristics, so agile and playful speech was balanced with ease in fast descents and accurate responses to stimuli from the handlebars. Threading the narrow curves were virtually joy, as well as to lift the bike into the air and do it there with the trappings.
Casting round was due to its destination in perfect condition, so the combination of sets of Deore XT and met our expectations. With a lot of predatory expression in the downhill when the rider is literally attracted to go to the maximum, we may appreciate the larger diameter front wheels and the aforementioned rough coats. Criticism we have also used sedlovce, because the length of 300 mm on a mountain bike really do not.
In overall concept, however, was a very fun machine, the rider must literally get excited when driving in broken terrain. With the stroke by the narrower handlebars would be ideal for sports XC, the current width of the handlebars and lift just an inch higher it would be a decent lighter Enduro potential has certainly wide.
