Trail easer

[gummibear]

Decided to get a bike to smooth out the trails a little and went for a Stevens Fluent EX.Now just to get a shorter stem and new tyres for the mud.

The XT brakes are just awesome and still have to get used to them.

I agree. I try and stay away from XC geometry as much as possible..

I always had that,feeling of falling over the bars on my ht and it's gone now.Also don't have the back wheel slipping on steep climbs and mud.

That's possibly one of THE sexiest bikes I've seen this year!
