 All who say Bender sucks and has no skill obviously has no clue what they are talking about. You prolly just ride around town on a Kona Shred and hop curbs and do wheelies. Bender throws himself off 40 foot cliff to landings that are never clean, check o

 its not a dh bike , its just a ride off cliff bike and not land it. too much travel and weight for serious dh, more extreme freeride

 63 feet and mad props to bender for doing over 40 foot drops when 90% of pb users don't do 10 foot drops

 ITs not 75 lbs, its 45 lbs. Its 12.5 inches. And bender is a god, he lands almost everything, and he does have ALOT of style, they just don't show anything but the crashes. I met him at Sea otter, and he is the nicest guy in the business. And if it wasn't for him, none of us freeriders would be here. He started hucking. Props to bender. He's a real rider.

 fuck all the people sayin bender is shit. he is an old skool freerider, he doesnt spend 5 days working on a perfect landing like freeriders do now! and if you ever see him ride a trail or dh run on his normal bike he will fuckin kik your ass!!! so shut the fuck up and take your head out of your arses.

 Wasnt made for DH. made for pure hucking....
  • 0 0
 not true, It was orginally made for Bender, but then refined into a extremely technical DH tackeler, such as trails like karpiel at north star, or to make trails like like Captain safety, goats gully and so on, easier and faster for racers because you can plow through it with a little bit of finesse left over

 Come on, just look at the head angle on that thing, it's barely ridable...
