Quagga Posted April 11, 2019 Share Quick question. Are these FRAMES actually different or is is just the fork and shock that makes them different Stage has 100 - 120 Forkand Shock 184 x 44 Max has 130 - 140 Forkand Shock 190 x 51 If you could measure both would all the tubes be the same length ? But they achieve different Geo but matching different shock and fork? So in theory if you fitted a 190 x 51 shock on a Stage and a 130mm Fork you would have a stage MAX?

Ohmsie Posted April 11, 2019 Share Have a look on Pyga's website for frame dimensions. As far as I know there are small differences between Stage and Stage Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagga Posted April 11, 2019 Share They don't have frame dimensions only geometry based on 100 mm fork and 140mm fork DieselnDust and nonky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 11, 2019 Share Won't be able to tell just from that. Hit them up on FB and ask Pat the q. He (or someone else) is likely to respond and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a reply There's no structural difference between the Stage and Stage Max frames. In the past we have labelled them with different decals but moving forward the paint jobs will be the same. We run an offset bush on the Max which allows us to get the extra travel. Spoke101, DieselnDust, nonky and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quagga Posted April 11, 2019 Share There we go! Good to know, so if someone has a Stage and want MAX or wants to buy MAX but can only find stage at good price you should be able to get the bush from Pyga and convert :-) Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quagga Posted April 11, 2019 Share I'm currently doing this with Andrew at Stoke and realllyyyy looking forward to the result.Fantastic, this little option might have just swayed me to the Payge. I can ride it at 120mm for now and then get a new shock and 140mm fork one day and ride more trail like stuff. Good to know that there are other option on that frame. Maybe I will order the offset bush with the frame :-) PhilipV, DieselnDust and nonky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you in JHB do yourself a favour and speak to Barry Crouse from Pyga, you won't have any doubts about a decision after that.

duringd Posted April 11, 2019 Share The versatility allows for you to build something "in between" got a MAX frame but built a "mini" Max. Don't think I could have set up this quality ride under any other label. Markellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
