The Eminent Haste MT is an enduro bike that took us a lot of riding time to fully understand it. Not because we couldn't feel the bike, but rather, we took longer than usual to understand why this bike behaves the way it does. First off, the overall aesthetics got us interested and then next, we were ploughing through Eminent Cycles' suspension design theory. Their approach to solving present day's frame design flaws is scientific and convincing. But designs will remain as designs if they are not applied to actual products. We had to ride the bike to find out! Here's what we discovered.

Bikezilla was given the opportunity to get well acquainted with the Mondraker SuperFoxy Carbon R. Looking back, we had our first experiences with the Mondraker Dune and Foxy in 2015. Those bikes had both the looks and the capabilities to handle the trails well. What's more memorable was that there's a certain unique personality about Mondraker Bikes. We'd like to call it the "Mondraker DNA". It is with this anticipation and benchmarking when we got hold of the new SuperFoxy Carbon R. We were eager to find out for ourselves just how did this shiny new Mondraker model match up with its predecessors. Our editor shared the team's collective experiences.

Some folks only need one bike for every kind of ride. Some folks prefer an arsenal of weapons to match the occasion. If we are to ask you what is the ONE BIKE that represents the real rider in you? What would that bike be? Bikezilla presents 3 distinctly different bikes for this casual shoot-out in the hope of getting our riders to discover their true riding personality. This is not one of those usual "serious, technical and number-crunching" bike test. Rather, it is a fun, get-together ride with lots of qualitative understanding into each rider's aspired dream bike and a conclusion for each of them to build towards their ONE BIKE that suits them best.

This article is tagged as a Bikezilla's Editor's Note, which means there would be some personal opinions thrown in. Feel free to share your comments. Before that, here's why the Switchblade is "magical" and why would I personalise my build with a full array of Funn and Granite Design products. Here goes!
