Default Iron Horse 6Point4

This is the bike I wish I had. I just didn't have the cash when it first came out. This is an amazing price for this bike.

This is like 1k less than when it first came out. Too bad I ended up getting the Reign..........

Anyone want to buy a lightly used Reign? LOL.

Is this a good bike? I was thinking of picking up a used 2007 specialized enduro for $1,100. Which would be a better choice?

It's an excellent bike for the dollar! Keep in mind if you do order from RS, the bike is not built and there is a delivery charge. I think it was in the range of 60-70 bucks.

IMO, the 6point is way better than the enduro. the enduro will be lighter but the 6point makes up for that in efficiency.

sorry guys. my reign is a small. i have it setup perfect now and am starting to get faster with it. i converted it into a pseudo reign x with a vanilla coil with 2.25 stroke. it is now 6.75 inches of travel with a fox 36 up front. give me a few months when i hit my one year mark with it and upgradeitis takes over. lol.

How about the IR MKIII 2008 comp? I have heard that bike mentioned a few times here and there but havent seen a full review. Is that bike a better value than lets say a stumpjumper?

I have an 07 MKIII comp and its a very nice bike. I don't have any real complains except that I kinda wish I would have got a 6" bike now and a Medium instead of a Small.

I have the same bike. You can ride pretty much anything since it is a 5" travel bike. It "could" ride much like a six point if you change the rear Vanilla to a RP23.

I purchased mine some time ago from trailheadcycles.com in Oregon.
