Ride Rate Review

This bike was sitting in my garage, freshly washed, lubed & ready to go back to PYGA after a good test period, but it looked at me with those trail riding eyes. My willpower is unfortunately very weak & I couldn't resist the urge. I had to take the PYGA Stage MAX out for 1 more epic ride. Tomorrow will be a sad day. But I will remember you fondly and I have a great video edit dropping to remind me of the great times we had together. We will meet again.

Last day on this Pyga Stage MAX before it goes back. It's a scorcher of a day out but I couldn't think of a better place to spend that last day than shredding some trails in Paarl. Fast and flowy to the MAX.

I have not installed the Luftkappe yet but from what I have heard from a source who has been on one for a few weeks is that it gives the pike a more Lyrik like feel on the small chatter, so more sensitive to small bump. I have a Lyrik but I am hoping to get one for my Pike on another bike soon.I will definitely shoot an installation video as well as a review if I do end up getting one.

I had a quick run to get the bike setup, suspension tuned and dialed in to my preference. I got a feeling that it's going to be a good.......... NO, great week ahead.

I am in the very fortunate position at the moment of having tried out & busy trying out loads of different tires on the bikes i review. I have just come off an E*Thirteen TRS+ and Onza Ibex combo on my last test bike.
