Fischer Vista Crown

Advantages: Good in difficult slopes, accurate handling in most situations
Disadvantages: Handling in high speed not most accurate

...Based on my experience, Fischer Alltrax Border-X is a good carver for advanced users. I have used it in standard downhills (not off from the slopes) and it offers good grip from the slope. The handling in high speed is, however, not the most accurate in the market. Fischer Alltrax Border-X is pretty durable and it most likely will last for a long time. Mine are >2 years old and they are in good shape. Hardnes is only average eventhough it contains Fischer Vacuum inner. But, like said, this carver is not meant for high speed.                                                                                    ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap.
Disadvantages: No nose or throat adjustment.

.... It did last well though. It is a webbing material which is fairly soft, not bad. What makes is standard is, it only has a buckle adjustment at the crown, where it does up. This is satisfactory for most horses and alright if they are of a standard size. The Cottage Craft Fully Adjustable Headcollar is adjustable in three places, nose, thoat and crown. This obviously makes for more adjustment, some horses have wider noses so one that is not adjustable at the nose could be quite tight. The standard headcollar like most, is available in pony, cob and full. Disadvantages. * * * * * * * * * * * * The Standard Cottage Craft Headcollar is alright for everyday use. I have already outlined the possible disadvantage if the horse has a wide nose (or vice versa, it is not possible to tighten it if too loose). When clipping a horses head... Read review

Advantages: Strong, light, looks nice
Disadvantages: Chain stays can cause chain suck and problems with quick release pins

...For those of you out looking for a new frame, i'd recommend purchasing a Marine Quake frame. I bought a marine Quake 9 a few months back and its certianly given me value for money, and is one of the most sturdy bikes i've had. The Marine Quake frame comes in three colour scheme those being a combination of grey yellow red and blue. The Quake 9 model has a yellow and grey paint job and looks rather plush. The frame comes in a range of sizes, but being a dirt jumping/Dual bike those sizes are generally small (my own model is a 13" frame). The tubing is triangular in shape, which from your science lessons will tell you adds to strength. Where the top and down tubes meet, extra triangular plates have been welded on to give the bike some strength (especially for those of you thinking of running tripple crown forks). The chain stays...
