Reply To: Titus Motolite VS. Kona Dawg…Help

the Monolite 2 is one hell of a ride. I test-rode one at Conte’s to see how a TALAS 32 RLC and Float RP23 equiped bike would ride. it’s positively awesome. one thing that I might worry about is the amount of carbon fiber on that bike. CF is very stiff along the axis that the part was designed to get stressed from but that stiffness and durability go away quickly when you stress the part from another axis. in other words, a CF Horst link or frame would be obscenely light but at the same time very stiff under normal suspension compression and normal shock loads (landing, going over bumps of varying sizes) BUT if you crash it you run a larger risk of breaking the CF part. at least according to Conte’s
