I am looking for a trials bike. I am liking the Echo pure or the Zoo pitbull. The thing I am looking for mainly is how tough and indestructable it is. Trialsin says the Zoo is tough but heavy, and doesn't say anything about the Echo. I don't mind heavy as long as it is strong. I like the idea of the small seat on the Echo. What on is the strongest and best? Thanks for the input.

So far the echo pures seem to be very strong. The pitbull is more a gimicky frame than anything else, and the geo is a little different. BB is a little higher and such.

I have heard good things about both, the strength difference, if there is one, is minimal, and it can go either way. If you like the idea of a seat, then that could easily be your deciding factor.

Ok, How can you say its stronger when you dont look around? MANY people have cracked Pitbulls, I think Matt from OTN.com stated that he had a video of a guy's pitbull mag mounts snapping right off the frame. And you cant back it up as Ive never heard of Echo Pures cracking/snapping. has anyone else? Ive seen and heard of pitbulls cracking/snapping so deffinatly go for the pure. I have one and it rules. and the seat is nice so you dont have to sit on your tire.

the pitbull generally won't be as good for urban if thats what you are into. i like the high bottom bracket of the pitbull. dont get me wrong, the pure is an amazing natural bike, but the pitbull is more my style. the pure is indestructable, but i know im not going to brake the pitbull. ill use a brake booster 4 sure incase the brake mounts feel a strong need to break off.

i havent heard of a pitbull breaking, nor have i heard of a pure breaking. I have however herad that the pure is flexy as hell, and the pitbull is not. the pitbull is longer yes? and has a higher BB. if your into a less conventional kind of frame go for the pitbull, if not go pure. im sure both will last you as long as you need them to.
