Well I don't have one of these, but the OneTwenty....And man is it ever capable! 

Coming from the Spaz Enduro I was a little worried about its capabilities for going down...but those were unwarranted!

You got full rear travel out of a Pyga?  Unusual.

Nice review Nick.

Now that you've ridden both the Pyga Poscoe and the Transition Patrol.

Which one did you like better?

[rouxtjie]

love mine...as you were

would this be suitable for say S2C, or Race to rhodes type long distance touring - or should one look more at the 120 ?

To be honest this is exactly the reason I got the OneTwenty...However, people have done Trans Baviaans on the Pascoe.

I think the OneTwenty may just climb ever so slightly better due to the different head angle.

120 would be more suited. In fact 110 would be even better suited and the Stage will be the most suitedest

Eish slow one, look it's not impossible it just won't be ideal lol. It's not a marathon bike it plays better with endure / am rides and events. Suppose you can also do an endure event with a marathon bike...just won't be ideal

Ive heard rumours of Chuck Norris getting full rear yravel on a Pyga, but they are rumours. And unconfirmed........

But to be honest as an all rounder "fun" do it all the 120 for me is best. I'm not not sold on any 29'rs yet except the Evil so far
