Definitely a Cake. I used to have one. Cake 1 was the top spec iirc.
Bit of an odd bike. 5″ travel but XC angles. So it was great for getting the power down and riding in an XC position, but the downside is that it’s very divey and a bit hairy on steep slow techie downs. I’d even go so far as to call it niche. XC or Marathon use on rocky terrain. It’s one of those love hate bikes 🙂
Also *very* flexible side-to-side. And the main pivot bearings are tiny and don’t last long – but they are easy to change. Well, sort of. You need to loctite them in which is a bit of a faff but it makes them super easy to pop out and in and you don’t get corrosion jamming them in.
It has G2 geometry which means it should have G2 forks – those look like the original Manitous which should be ok. There was a mod available for their SPV system that TFT did, that was worth it.
