Opinions on Charge Duster bikes

[Fudd]

When I first came on here I was exactly the same as you - I was considering a Duster as a 2nd mtb to compliment my full sus but I was open to other alternatives such as an Explosif or Orange P7 etc..... Since then I've had a Merlin ti, Pace RC200 and I'm now on my 3rd RC300. And I still have the FS and also a fat bike. Stick around for a while and you'll soon understand

Oh but I've already seen quite a few photos on this website. Lovely bikes indeed. Some of them are jewelries, really...

Oh dear! I'm afraid I know nothing about these things... I only know I like the looks of these Duster models (Eleven/Mid). And as the Duster Mid is cheaper...

Please excuse my English!

The Duster 11 is the Alfine geared one (with hub gears) and the other will be derailleur geared, that's the reason that it's cheaper.
Personally, I'm a big fan of Alfine hubs (the 8 speed version in particular) but, no doubt, any number of people will be along in a minute to say that they're no use for "serious" mountain bike riding (whatever that is.....).

that would be me I guess

Would you be so kind to explain why?
