So im looking at getting my first freeride bike. I have almost enough money and this is what im thinking



The transition Bottlerocket. 5.5 inches. I will either get it with that same setup or with abit nicer one involving deetraks, all raceface evolve dh, juicy 7's, e13, x9 and either a fox van r, 66, totem (prob to big)or travis.

I want it almost soley for freeride/slopesyle freeride. It will have to deal with abit of DH as its my only fully.

What do you guys think?... good choice? or should i get something with more travel. The only problem i have with that is i loose the standover hieght the bottle rocket offers. And fork and component choices? anything you guys think needs to be changed?

o yea and the pricing...
About 3500 for the stock set up
And around 4000 for the custom build

And also the stock setup has hayes 9's, hussifelt cranks, x7, no chain guide and van r rear shock... All that stuff isnt pictured

ya looks like a sick bike for freeride but its a little short travle for me... i ride with 6.5 and i feal like its just a bit to little but thats only off hucks and harsh compression

I envy you, if you get the bottle rocket. That bike is perfect for slope­style­ and freeride. Its like a dirt jumper with suspension. For the fork i would probably put on the fox or the travis 150. Mayb the totem is you lower it down to around 150mm

Do it get that one i love that bike, it should take everything you through at it, but i dont think it will take the MASSIVE hucks well, that would be a perfect bike for blue mountain. man i am agreeing will Etobicokebiker13 I ENVY YOU

Have fun w/ the bike

IMO i think the bottle rocket is way to overated and the better bikes are the ones nobody will excpect to be good. If your riding freeride slope­style­ check out some strong xc/am ­frame­s.
