Simplicity at its finest.

 

Awesome bike!  Puts such a smile on my face every time i take mine out :)

Very true!

 

I only built mine up properly this year (although I bought it Dec last year)

 

Couldn't resist waiting (for the fork) so I built it up with a Revelation & 26" wheels from my Shova.

 

I wasn't really stoked, but new there's more.

 

After fitting the 650B wheels & Pike I felt the HULK-ler come alive!

 

The harder you push it the better it rides.

 

 

I am also 1 of the guys who always want to know how other suspension designs feel / ride etc. & had numerous bikes over the last few years, but I found that there's no more need than a single pivot for my level of riding.

 

I don't see myself selling this bike, unless I am in a financial crisis.

Mine is also a custom build and my previous bike was a Trek Remedy 9.7, and I’m definitely faster on this heckler and can jump it with a lot more confidence.  Maybe my style of riding just suits the single pivot, although the geometry is so bang on with the Heckler... AKA the single pivot Bronson. 

 

 

I also service my own bikes, so the single pivot makes that so much easier.

 

 

Would have loved to have got a Pike but I got a really good deal on a Fox 34 at half the price of the Pike, so couldn't pass it up.
