stefmeister Posted March 20, 2018 Share Interesting that the Blur has two, symmetrical "braces/links" between the chain and seatstays on the rear triangle - much like the Hightower - but the Tallboy only has one (asymmetrical)...TB3 still has front derailleur mount.

_im_from_earth Posted March 20, 2018 Share Blur Yep, believe it or not despite shedding weight the Blur swingarm is laterally stiffer than the Tallboy, very important on a bike that will see some serious acceleration / torque load into the back end. This is a result of testing done with the Syndicate guys on their V10 29" frames, so awesome to see the downhill influence in the XC frame design.
