Finally got this built up and have already completed several laps around the driveway. Seat post at lowest in frame, but reach is 100% for me and even OOTB, suspension sag seems OK. This arvi's trail may see a token going in... Super stoked. Now where did I put those old bar ends? attachicon.gifIMG-20170407-WA0004.jpeg

Grrrr.

 

What sag are you running at the back?

 

looks to be about 20% at the mo. 30% front. my road bike has no sag at all, so this is very strange territory for me...

As Myles said, 30% sag is about right on the Jeffsy. It is a VERY progressive bike, so run enough sag to sit nicely in the travel.

Hmm. Very different bikes. If you want flat-out speed, take the Jeffsy. If you want a big hitter to take on gnarly terrain, the META v4 is the one.

Yup, it's a decision... Issue is not sure how much really gnar terrain there is here and if it warrants the meta. I've hammered most from things on my Tranny and with my 160 HT and not felt too out of depth on 90% of trails and wanting for more travel. That said the Jeffsy is 160 both ends and that is over lapping with the Capra for alot of trails and if it can't handle most things with that travel here I'd be surprised.The Meta is coming in 1kg heavier than a std Reign and packs 150 / 160mm and did take trail bike of the year in 2015 and second in 2016 and 1st again in 2017. I'd imagine that the Jeffsy will be featuring heavily in next years awards as well. I'm heading towards the Meta though as it's different and looks awesome fun for a killer price that can go bigger and harder.

Such a nice bike. Did you buy just the frame? Not keen on 1x drivetrains?
