looking at that lovely holmes again, smashing bike. Enjoyed the challenger parade too. I've never ridden one. What are they like compared to a holmes?

Lighter  :LolLolLolLol:

the holmes is heavier than the challenger but both are identical to ride.  ;)

wonder how a dirtbike rides  ???  that could be the next assignment ::)

oh i love s&m's me :smitten: :smitten:

on the little goes i've had on each i think the holmes is a tad twitchier, seems to want to be thrown about a little more where the challenger forces a straight line, the weight is irrelevent once it movin, feels light as fook once airborne, another lovely bike  :daumenhoch: shame the fookin brake scared the fook outa me in the last berm again  :LolLolLolLol:

Diggler's spot on, the Challenger is a lighter version of the Dirtbike or Holmes

They're the same geometry, probably made on the same jigs

Standard Challenger 20.25"tt

Challenger XL 20.75"tt

Mine are all built up, think the Holmes/Dirtbikes are around 6lbs and Challengers a touch over 5lbs

Forks make the biggest difference, Challenger forks are way lighter than pitchforks

Agree with Daz about the weight, it becomes irrelevent once it's moving

I'd stick a pair of 36's on my Dirtbike if i was gonna race it, i still haven't rode it...  :-[
