Meta. Does everything. Climbed the incline on it today, 2 weeks ago did red route at GT and the XC course at Inners. Does what it says on the tin.

hmmm...

Heckler one of the few things i would say comes close... were they the same money, i'd say maybe the Cruz, but pound for pound - Meta...

(utterly and completeley biased) get the next years model and they're putting the head angle back where it was on the 07 so a little slacker for the rough ready hurtling.

I would also recommend considering Pikes up front, though it does now come with better forks, but i sold my Floats of the front right away and got some pikes for the same money, only way to go IMO.

All the above said i've not ridden a Heck newer than 04, they have been relaunched...

I know a few who demo'd MEtas against 5s, trances etc... i think all but one bought the Meta, and the other guy bought the Trance X-0 cos he races and it had 5lbs on the meta...

If poss i'd demo though, everyone's different. Very Happy
