I have owned both Stealth Bomber (clone) and Talaria MX4 Sting R. Based on that I have a vision for an "ideal" bike for my needs. First a quick summary of my requirements
I ride 98% on roads and a bit of off-road like grass in a park, light gravel. I want the bike to be sturdy so it can take some beating. Like jumps from 1 ft or less, climb steep off-road hills with loose ground just for fun like 30% grade for 200 ft or so. Very cushy/buttery suspension. Blistering performance in 0-50 mph zone, analogous to a high end sports car with a lot of low end grunt and also a top speed machine. Low key and silent so it can be comfortably ridden as cycle on the bike trails or when people are close by. And then on the open stretches, rip! Great build quality. Should feel light and balanced so it can be thrown around.
Here's how I would articulate the bike to be a combo of Stealth and Talaria
1. Talaria Sting with quietness of a hub motor
OR
2. Stealth Bomber with a few changes like the higher build quality of Talaria, its handling, its sturdy frame
Can the Bomber be made more tossable with mods? Let me explain. Talaria is so tossable. When I ride it feels like I am sitting on it vs climbing on the Stealth. The center of gravity is low. I have the confidence that when doing hard riding say going over a steep hill, if the bike loses balance, I can simply stand up and led the bike slide under me, thereby saving injury. But the Stealth feels like under those conditions it would fall on top of my body and injure myself. Plus its much more heavy. It doesn't feel tossable. The frame looks bulky vs Talaria's svelte look
I would love to hear from this forum. Does my ideal bike exist?
Is there a quality frameset available with the attributes I mentioned for a custom build?
