huh?

Relative to what and what sort of magic metric are you basing this on?

Can you elaborate on what you are trying to say?

Yeah, it's a whole different bike, this one is made by Rapide

It's been a good while since I've been as confused as I am now. Care to elaborate?

this angle looks better re wheel to pedal ratio......

Also, wheel-pedal-ratio is directly proportional to the OTB-Roll-centre which is used in the Clavicle-fracture-point calculation.  Here Pi can be used to cover the Face-helmet-exposure ratio.

I am trying to wrap my head around the angle on those brake levers. One would have to roll your wrists far forward to be able to adequately pull them when descending, which would pull your weight even more towards the stem, at which point the closeness of the pedal to front wheels will be directly in proportion to the proximity of the back wheel to the top of you helmet, and your nose to the trail surface.

You are overthinking it, it’s conducive to the attack position needed on the Ht WeApOn.

weight bias must be moved over the front wheel and 130mm stem as much as possible. It might cause the rear wheel to enter the OTB-roll centre scenario. This anomaly is refered to as the Endo-morphology- dynamic, but commonly refered to as the Unicycle-Conundrum

sure thing, but at least Santa has a shreddy hardtail ready to roost any berms that stand in his way on delivery day.

Set up the Tigre to pretty much be a do-it-all bike. 130mm travel so that I can do everything from ultra-endurance (see you at the munga grit in september) to enduro, with half cleat/half flat pedals and sexy ardent tyres!

Took her out during the sunset today to get some pics and she is absolutely beautiful, even if I do say so myself

NFSV? Not For Sensitive Viewers? Surely that’s what you meant…

NSFW? You got me guessing, here!

Just as beautiful as mine ... 😁

Only difference is I got a rigid fork meant for mainly road/gravel riding.

Just a question, is the white & black bottle cages intentional or just what you had avaialable?

Is it just me, or are those relatively narrow bars? Given that its a pretty aggressive trail bike in what looks to be a Large frame, I'd expect a wider bar on it. 

My bike's also littered with Rapide stuff, I'm a pretty big fan of everything they do.

Great pics (you're milking golden hour for all its worth) and great bike! Just spend the extra R300 and get a set of matching black bottle cages though.

I wish I can buy another Rapide Tigre.  I want a new bike all over again.
