Pro-flex 656. Good meaning bad, or bad meaning good?

[Boothy]

hmmm, I can't decide.

Is the 656 too cool for school or a bag of nails. I can't decide. Anyone have any idea what spec these had?

Opinions por favor.

it was bottom of the range, still pretty decently equipped overall though

Had one of these and loved it, the front end has the better spring shock too so a bit more travel than the elastomers option. Make sure the rear elastomers are not solid and you have the making of a great full bouncer albeit a tad on the heavier side than a more modern bike. Looks super cool to IMHO.

New bikes are now getting heavy Gaz, my hardtail Avalanche is 27ish lbs, compared to my full sus pair that each weigh in at IRO 26 lbs :shock:

a 656 with reasonable kit should be around 26-28lbs - not really that heavy by today's standards.

My mate's new Specialised full suss is around 33lbs :shock:

33lb :shock:
Did he not pick it up at the shop?

All proflexes rock in my opinion.This model came with chromo swing arm so is a little lardier than could have been
