Headshot Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Have to wait for the next episode to see how it rides but it looks terrible - like a chopper without an engine.Maybe good down 50 degree slopes, maybe... Edited January 14, 2020 by Headshot MrJacques 1
Hairy Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 1. Looks like a donut2. No water bottles, would be great if it could carry 3 x bottles3. Not in carbon4. Red suspension makes you go faster, fact! MarcBurger and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Have to wait for the next episode to see how it rides but it looks terrible - like a chopper without an engine.Maybe good down 50 degree slopes, maybe... If I remember correctly, I read a tech piece a few years ago where the writer's hypothesis was that anything slacker than a 61 or 62 degree head angle would result in more fore-and-aft movement on the fork than actual suspension movement. I personally think that the grade of the descent will have a role to play in that, but I also wouldn't want to ride that bike on flat-ish trails for that reason (among others) Will be interesting to see, though!!

Headshot Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 I had a chance to fiddle with one of these in raw aluminium the other day and a brief parking lot ride on a different bike. It looks great with no paint - a very strong and solid looking piece of kit. The XL size is long and I found it a good fit for me. I am a lot taller than the owner but he's happy on his XL - says its very stable. The only negative is the weight - around 16.5 kg with inserts and burly tyres and nothing too special in the wheels and finishing kit. The weight wasn't really noticeable on the brief ride I had and I found the higher stack height up front an improvement over my rather low Enduro. Anyone want to check one out will find it at the Bike Park at Uitsig. Skott5 and Hairy 2
