Mountain Lion or Kanga?

Post by Clink »

I've got other Wildcat bits which are great, but any particular benefits of mountain lion over the alpkit kanga?

Generally the Lion sits lower on the bars.

The top of your drybag will be level with the bars, whereas the bars when using a Kanga will be around the midpoint of the drybag, which can make mounting lights a bit more difficult.

Great feedback, thanks. Using jones loops so presume the lower wildcat position will be better?

The Mountain Lion will fit Jones Loops no problem - this is what I use on my setup. You'll also be preserving the option to fit a Tom Cat bag within the loop too :-bd

On my Fatty the Kanga just protrudes over the bars. On my Lurcher it's well above the bars. With 17/25 degree swept back bars on both I need a raiser on the fatty to fit my light and to mount it as fair to the right as I can on the Lurcher or it'd be totally hidden, the riser isn't enough. I don't think I'd want to be fitting it on Jones Loops unless the Kanga was the exact same length as the distance between the loop and the crown.
