The Stinky De-Lux is by all accounts a very reliable bike. I was first attracted to the Stinky as it was, of corse, a top of the range Down Hill mountain bike. When i investigated further i realised for a reletively small ammount more i could affort the Stinky De-Lux. When thinking about it i thought that the ammount more i would have to pay did not compare to the increase quality i would recieve. The Stinky, although a very nice bike does lack a few featues. The rear suspension is not by and means close to the quality of the De-Lux version. The front suspension forks also contribute to an all round better ride. The origonal Stinky is an ausome bike but had a few finishes needed which where met with the De-Lux. I would say to anyone who was thinking of buying a quality Down hill bike for a high price should consider how much more the Stinky De-Lux will give them for there money.
