have you had a ride out on her yet?

 

Once at cascades ... it feels very different.

But you can feel the rolling speed. - its scary

 

keen to get more time on it to get used to it. 

It feels nimble - but when you blow a corner you come to a complete stop.

Does the X-low make that much of a real world change? I keep thinking of doing out but last time I slacked a bike out I had pedal strike city, ended up dislocating my shoulder and kind of stayed away from that.

Nice, but that STA tho! Wheelie city!

Not at all as Helderberg and Saaltjie are the regular go to spots with no walking.

But hey , those are my preferred settings & setup.

The Offering will appeal to all those who have steeper STA preferences.

I run the recommended 170mm cranks and have run all the models in lowest chip settings , as well as std, without having ever to worry about pedal strikes as I too have experienced on other frames slacked out. I switch between settings for test purposes only. As we'll be doing with the Offering. My personal bike feel and setup is slack though. 

 

Oh, yes, it does make a difference going high chip setting and shorter travel like on the Following V1 and MB for instance. On my personal rides I don't care much for that as I don't want a marathon bike , but an all-round capable All mountain bike.
