Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[Hairy]

Exactly! Far more important to bear in mind is the head angle and top tube and chainstay arrangement. Not to mention the wheelbase!

And colour ... bezerker green is so much faster

Everyone knows that Vitamin P is the fastest colour

if the 130mm 650b is the new 150mm 26, does this mean the 130mm 29 is the new 170mm 26?

You're giving me an ice-cream headache!

 

That is just about PYGA 29'er dually territory with a 140mm fork slapped up front

Yip. But with a frame that's 1kg lighter!

Reverse Vitamin-P is the new go-to color!

I'd say the equivalency ratio is around 10% for 650 and 20% for 29. So the 650 would be like a 140/145mm and the 29 would be like a 155mm 26r

 

There's a bit of that when JRA. Riding over roots and ruts, ploughing through rock gardens. But when you do drop-offs, jumps, gaps, hucks and being all "flickable" then 100mm is 100mm is 100mm.

But that's everything I do on a bike.... So 140 is 140 and 150 is 150? And 130 is not 150????

Is this a clever ploy orchestrated by you and Ms Esterhuizen to try and trick me into doing math?

Interesting Suspension design.

 

Looks like a gearbox too.

 

I wonder how much it weighs
