Luano Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 i cant comment on what they ride like but i prefer the way the km1 looks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Never actually ridden a ko but i got my Team running yesterday and i absoulutly love it, its great for everything i feel really at home on it.Echo team ***!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 From what i hear about the Echo i wouldn't suggest it. Looks nice nonetheless. But for the kobike i've heard nothing but positive things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 I have ridden both frames and I personally prefer the echo team in terms of geo. So I bought one... Bought loads of really good parts for it and spent a lot of time and money building it but when I finally finished it - it got nicked (see signature). I rode Billocks' Ko and I was surprised that it didn't actually ride as good as it looked. It was way to bouncy for my liking, and I mean bouncy. I would personally go for the echo but its up to you I guess. Just make sure you don't choose a frame just because it looks better or is cheaper.

esfrost Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Personaly, I really like the look of the new echo team. I dont really know anything about the K.O bikes, they just look hevy to me. I think i would buy the echo, if i had to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_barnett Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 hello m8i havent had a go of a KO but they do look very nice but i have had a go of the echo teams and they are really nice to ride, so if it was my dession i would have the echo team.

Cheers Jackits like that cause i weigh 7 stone and run allot less psi than you do. Therefore, whenever somone gets on my bike, they say it feels like a trampoline on wheels. Ko bikes are amazing, i am not just saying that cause ive got one, im saying it because it has brought my riding on soooooooo much since i got it.ive ridden loads of echos, zoo's and gu's and most of them felt good. but compared to my kobike, they came up short.ino you think im biased about it due to fact its my bike talkin about, but.. meh..at the end of the day its your choice but i think you should seriously consider a ko, they look amazing and ride even better (when theyre set up nicely)you should have a go on loads more bikes before you dicide what youd like, theyres loads out there to choose from.good luck, bill x PS: check this badboy battered to ferk! indistructable!
