Meta 4x vs Transition Double vs Intense Tazer vp vs Cove Hooker
Task.: Bmx, pump & 4x tracks, occasional trailcenter use combined with general pissing about...your thoughts?
The Cove obviously . . . Oh hang on . . . you forgot about the Yeti 4X.
The Cove AND the Yeti 🙂
I had a ride on a Cove, albeit only for an hour at Woburn, but it had travel adjust forks stuck at 140mm on and it didn't feel right at all.
Why not the double?
my mate lairy nick rides his double on everything from dj. xc and skatepark
a nice light Alu 4X hardtail will be faster in all but your occasional use category.
But if it's a short travel bike to have fun on rather than race I'd also check out the YT Play and Spesh SX
a mate had the Meta 4x, check the size as it's very low and if your tall you need a very very long seat post
Hardtail like a Trailstar or a Suburban. So much nicer for jumping and pumping than a full sus and they probably pedal better as well.
Yeti DJ hardtail 😉
Check the GT Distortion as well - on my shortlist along with those bikes for exactly the purposes you describe
If the double is anything like the Bottlerocket it'll be a bag of fun and bombproof.
Dirt have been raving about the Double for years now
