That Mercer is by far the hottest, coolest and sweetest machine in the line up. How can one compare a mass-produced bike with a custom hand made machine.

 

And it's steel.

The bike that should win is the Mercer, but the bike that probably will win is the Pyga.

Why

Why

The Mercer doesn't have a flawed design causing brakejack...

 

Discuss.

Odinson

Why

 

Cool your jets, boet. 

 

My personal opinion. Of all the bikes, the Mercer appeals most to me in terms of aesthetics and soulfulness. It is a simple, gorgeous bike.

 

The Pyga will has a high probability of winning, because it's the obvious and easy choice.

No one has ever used their brakes while bombing their Mercer down a mountain so no real proof.

huh, no jets to cool...just interested

 

You cannot deny the pyga's versatility though....if best is that well then its the winner. The mercer is pretty though, if it was a beauty contest and all that.

 

I voted yeti btw.

I think the correct term for a hexagon fight is engage

The Pyga's versatility is undeniable and it seems to be a pretty great bike, but I love supporting the underdog.

 

Let's see how it all plays out in a bit.
