got a 2015 alu Spectral.
Bike ordered and came in 4 weeks
Had issue with Dbline rear shock. Service and turnaround was great.
Had replacement gearcable plastic mounts sent out free, and also a rear axle when I rounded it off like a noob
ordered replacement bearings. they all got sent out in different packages and some took ages, hence chased them and then they got double sent.
bike is amazing, its taken a hammering in 2 and half years (including a number of uk enduro races). on its second set of linkage bearings
Fyi – changing the air spring in the pikes to 160mm and then adding an offset bush to bring BB back down has worked out great.
But if your not in a rush I would be tempted to wait for next years releases of bikes. the stive and spectral (my 2015 is the same frame as the one u are looking at) have been running the same frames with just colour changes for the last 3 years. so I’m guessing there will be some changes coming to next years bikes.
