Thanks

Hey Felix,

-The 08 is way better than the 06! The 08 uses stronger 7005 series aluminum compared to the 6061 on the 06. The components on the 08 overshadow the 06 components.

-The 08 gets a Marzocchi Dirt Jumper fork compared to the 06's Suntour Duro D?
-The 08 gets two Hayes MX-4 brakes compared to only 1 MX-3 on the 06. Just look at the specs for yourself!

Kimber

The 2006 has a longer travel fork and everything else looks about the same. I go for the 06.
