How does it ride uphill, downhill, straight, singletrack, can it keep
up with a bunch of wanna-be-xc`s 🙂 ???

“can it keep up”

The bike can, the real question is can you? :-p

Yup bike can it’s whether your legs can or not!! Top bike great for XC in this country (if you;re fit … being 5ft 4 1/2 the weight is quite hard going for me) and awesome in Morzine!!

if its for xc why drag the extra weight around when a tranceX will suffice

i ride mostly, very tech singletrack, but wondered how it behaved when i once in a while hook up, with the xc…….

i got the old one, way overkill for xc, the old one was fairly tall and fairly long and fairly heavy

i know its not the new one but its stuff worth considering

very good bike though but no xc machine, trance would be better for that

edit, i rode mine xc 🙂 but dont now
