It used to have a dropper with a 130mm fork, but now I'm running 100mm

Hey Boet , does the 100mm fork not take it back closer to racer epic than trail  Evo ?

Correct, it makes the geometry identical to a standard epic. I preferred the Evo as I'm not a huge fan of the brain suspension

2021 Epic evo comp with Slx and roval sl wheels and carbon bar. No pedals but cage & tool. 11.30kg 

It feels lighter when moving it around the garage. I tested the brain version and didn’t enjoy it ,hoping this bike hits the sweet spot. Feels like a trail bike when sitting on it .

Very nice, you're finally one of the 'cool kids' 😎

Is that your wife's bike in the background?

On other forums a Medium Base model is around 12.7kg. Large should be bang on 13kg. To get it light is not difficult at all

Peter, phone some dealers and ask for stock in your size. A few offers some discount as well if you ask. The Comp definitely offers better "value" if you can up your budget.
