So, its been a couple of weeks since I last updated this, and I’ve been on a few more rides.
At the point of my last update I was thinking that the bike is a better climber than the enduro, but about the same in terms of going downhill.
I’ve now decided that its a much better climber than the enduro, and it also goes downhill quite a bit better. It seems to have a big depth of ability that takes a while to find out (that or the suspension takes some breaking in and setting up).
The faster you go the smoother it gets it seems, there must be a limit to this but so far I havent found it. In terms of going downhill I’m finding at the moment that its the forks (and my ability) stopping me from going faster, whereas on the enduro it was the back end holding me back.
Not sure if the forks need to break in some more, but they definately dont seem as smooth as the back end.
On the undulating stuff, it goes well, as is noticably easier to keep the momentum up and accelerate.
Weighed it on some more accurate scales and it came out at 29.2lb.
That’ll be it for updates from me, but I’m pretty pleased with the purchase. Theres no doubt its a very expensive bike, but in my opinion its worth it, and is generally every bit as good as the reviews say it is, and I’m not saying that just because I bought one.
