No surprises with the new model really...how much different can one make a bike look retaining teh x-wing design.

However, all the 2017 bikes' paint jobs looks *** so far. Baby blue, red with black decals - where's the aesthetics? I thought last year's paint jobs, especially on the epic looked bad, this year is even worse.

some really awesome 2017 Spez stuff...

 

 

 

Very gimmicky ... but I think it's cool.

The new apparel range is really awesome too

Just don't push it too hard on the downhills (aka Aru trying to keep up with Nbali style).

Say what you want about Spez, but this is one crazy hot bike. That Öhlins suspension :drool:

Spez has also apparently dropped the mini-Brain from the Camber models for 2017 and the 6Fattie models are gone, with the 29er Stumpies being plus-compatible.

Just may have committed the ultimate sin.... 

 

Bought a Spaz Slaughter GRID 2bliss ready tire for the rear of my Giant Reign to complement my Schwalbe Magic Mary front tire. The price and faster rolling nature work in my world. AKA Cheapskate Village

Nice for dry rocky bits - perfect for Gauteng

Nice for everything... :)

 

I like to get the rear out on occasion. And we don't have many wet rooty tree covered climbs here anymore.

I have one on my enduro too.. :)

I prefer to keep my 'rear covered' on all occasions ....  :whistling:

Can one fit the "swat box" @ the bottle cage holder to any bike or will I need the spaz side entry cage to fit the box to my Merida full suspension?
