Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[Bizkit031]

Santa Cruz did it a couple of years ago already with the Tallboy LT. Running mine with a pike 160 up front and 135 out back. HA comes in at 67.2. Still remains the best all round bike I have ever ridden !

I'm sitting with my HA at 69.5 now on a 120mm fork want to change it to a 140mm so should hopefully drop another degree. The only thing with these bikes are that they have shortened the chain stays a lot more then most 29ers and the new forks have a 51mm offset now which helps a lot.

In that case I can add one...

Evils first 29er, looks like similar geometry to their Uprising so should be a cracker!!

"What's The Bottom Line?

If a buddy asked us how it rides, we'd likely say that the new Patrol 1 is one of the best Transition bikes yet. The updates to the suspension design, wisely chosen components, dialed appearance, and overall attention to detail coincide with the brand's continued growth and real-world experience. This particular model is best suited to dynamic riders looking to mob down hills at speed, perhaps in an enduro race scenario. It excels in fast terrain with occasional chunder thrown in, jumps very well, and offers good support for those times when you just want to pull up and send it."
