I’m looking into a low cost DH/freerid bike (NOT for racing), and I found the Iron Horse Yakuza Kumicho. It looked good, and I read some good reviews, but I’ve had my bad experances with lowcost bikes. Just wanted to know what your guyses thoughts are.
And no, I wont get you thrown off any trails because I dont do what freeriding is steriotyped as. i REALY, free-ride.

If you’re looking for a less expensive freeride frame, I’d say that the Yakuza Kumicho is a very good choice. There’s not many components that would need to be upgraded right away (at least according to IH’s website specs), and the single-pivot with sealed bearings is a nice touch in the durability department.
It’s a ride I wouldn’t kick out of bed….. 😼
But I wouldn’t go any lower on their Yakuza model ladder, as the parts-specs start to get really crappy, and you’d end up spending the geld anyways to upgrade. -

Any way, see you on the trails!

Please tell me it’s a Marzocchi 888RC2X! 😼
Hell, if you slapped a 66VF2 on there, you’d be golden as well….
