So, I'm having a little dilemma... I have a 575 on order (set to arrive next week)... I was able to demo this year's ASR5 but not the 575. My impression of the 5 was that it climbed pretty well (of course all climbs suck!) but on the downhill I found I just wanted a little more "plush-ness." The 5 seemed kinda twitchy on the downhill so I decided I wanted the 575 so I could mow through the decends... but I haven't had a chance to ride the 575
I'm getting mixed reviews... I have some people telling me to "go with the 5 because unless you're hucking off massive jumps, you don't need the extra travel, and it'll climb much better than the 575."
Whadya think? How is the 575 for climbing?
? I know they re-designed the rear triangle for this year's to be little stiffer, so does this help? How is the pedal bob action? does it just suck on the 575 or what??
I would consider the new SuperBike66 if only they made it in my size =( I need an XS...
My riding style is that I mainly cross country ride but also have access to a gondola for downhilling... If there's a feature to drop, I want to hit it, not just ride around it... I would like a bike that I am not killing my self unnecessarily on the climbs but can haul ass on the downhills, yet if I want to enter in a few races here and there, I'll still be able to hold my own on the climbs... passing people on the downhills
So the debate is between an ASR-5 or 575... advice??
