2012 All Mountain Bike Tests at Interbike Outdoor Demo
Turner Burner 650B
It has 140mm of dw-linked rear wheel travel and well-sorted numbers all around. The frame is true to the Turner design philosophy with mostly straight tubes, smooth welds, and purpose built looks. The component spec on this prototype were all high end, light, carbon and swanky.
Giant TranceX 29er
I too was impressed with its climbing ability and it definitely felt smoother and got hung up less in the chunkier stuff than the burner once I got the suspension readjusted for my weight and preferences. The five inches of maestro controlled travel and bigger hoops really seemed to eat up the rough descents.
Devinci Dixon
The Dixon is an impressively stout bike for 145mm of travel. In fact I thought it was a 160mm bike and wondered why the Fox 32 was spec’d. Sturdy tubing and stiff looking links, solid axles, and ISCG mountas made it look bomb proof (Devinci’s lifetime warranty backs up that look).
Rocky Mountain Element 950 Carbon
It has 110 mm of travel and was spec’d with a fox 120 fork I believe. I didn’t opt to ride this one so I’ll defer to Craig to add his impressions. I know it was stupid, stupid light and super efficient for smoother trails but it was the wrong choice for the gnarly route we took off the top this run.
… Specialized Stumpjumper Expert Carbon EVO 29er
The Stumpy was fairly light for a 29er but not crazy light. Componetry was top shelf as you’d expect with an msrp of $6200. The 135mm-travel Expert Evo 29 features a Fox Float CTD Factory shock with AUTOSAG and Boost Valve, Fox 34 TALAS CTD Performance fork, and Roval Traverse 29 142+ wheelset.
Specialized Camber 29er Comp with Rotor Q-Rings
The Camber Comp 29er we scored was both heavier and had less travel than the SJ 29er but probably cost about a third as much. Pretty nice entry level/intermediate bike that benefits from most of the technology of the higher end Specialized offerings without the stratospheric price.
Pivot Firebird
The bike is still beautifully built, laterally stiff, still climbs and pedals with the efficiency that escapes most bikes with this much travel and burliness, and it still has some noisy chain rattle issues going on around the front derailleur in the rough. I love, LOVE, a solid, quiet bike.
Intense Carbine 275
Wow. What a transformation! With the bigger 27.5″ hoops and longer,slacker geometry this thing really came alive. I don’t know what else they changed from last year, but this felt like a totally different bike. Descending through the rudely abrupt g-out/grade reversals of Skyline was a lark.
