2008 xtension xplorer (azonic samouri)

[mrlee]

just thought I would share my modern bike with you ,its made by xtension who build bikes for azonic , I sold my norco shore dh for this and I cant fault it ,160mm rear travel 4 bar horst link (like ellsworth&turner) its very plush ,mainly hope xt/xtr raceface makes it bomb proof

The 36's are dead long live the 36's

the usual worn stantion lead me to buy some vanilla's to replace the talas,
what a difference they make to the ride, there also 160mm to match the rear end which helps too,
jobs a good un
