Brienzer Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hi everyone,I recently bought a Koxx level boss short. I have never tried trials before as i have always ridden MTB. I bought the bike from overseas without trying it.I would like to hear what you guys think. Is it an OK bike for a newstarter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil Jsy Chris Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 They are great bikes, I had one myself up until a few months ago but loved it. Really light and strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I used to have a stock levelboss 1100 and that was strange to ride for me - slightly too long and have 0 bb rise. However when I rode my mates koxx levelboss 20" short, I was nice to ride but didn't help that it was an Onza T-bird with the koxx frame! I saw it snap when he bunnyhopped a curb and thought ' damn that was a nice frame....' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 As Ash said, they were top of the range bikes back in the day when I first started. Now they've become the lowest of the high range/competition winner range if you like, they're still very good indeed!Is it a stock or a mod? I've seen a mate snap a levelboss long after a LOT of punishment, so they'll suit a beginner well. Only thing I would have said is dont pay too much for your first bike, because (usually, im exempt from this) you're first bike takes a lot more punishment from f*ck-ups, scratches, near misses etc than all your other bikes.Anyway its a good bike, yeah....

The bike is stock = At the moment!!I payed just under a grand for it but to be honest i didnt lookaround too much before i bought it. if i had have found trials forum before i would have probably saved a packect. Good to hear though that it is stillan ok bike for an old guy like me.They are great bikes, I had one myself up until a few months ago but loved it. Really light and strong enough.Thanks for that, good to hear.I used to have a stock levelboss 1100 and that was strange to ride for me - slightly too long and have 0 bb rise.

I saw it snap when he bunnyhopped a curb and thought ' damn that was a nice frame....'I wont be doing too many bunnyhops then, ive only had the thing 5 minutes......absolutely great bikes mate, good geo and very light(just make sure to get it welded if it cracks at the chainstay) You sound like a man speaking from experience.
