Very happy with the ride, improvement over my Heckler. Just need a chain guide now!

Better than a Heckler 😮 how?

Cos it’s green and my old Heckler was Black!

As good a reason as any for a change/improvement 🙂

Green bikes are ace.

The Hope sticker on the fork leg is a nice touch.

Can you tell the difference between that and a Heckler suspension / handling wise?

Arent they a bit heavier than a Heckler aswell ?

Mmm still tempted, is that really what it weighs? (not that I don’t believe you or anything 😉 ) Still riding my old 2006 heckler which I love a lot, so just how much better is it … apart from being green of course ….

Edit – take it you will be chopping that steerer at some point 😯

the back end feels a lot more plusher over the Heckler,(no need to run a lot of sag as the Butcher has different spring rate to a Heckler and does not bottom out) its slacker, I can run a tapered fork and can fit a chain guide/dropper post.

I can assure you Im a big lad, I’m not really fussed about weight, I just weighed it out of interest – it is bang on 30.4lbs

Please stop posting pics of this bike. I keep convincing myself that I don’t need one…… and then…..

Yes I have been experimenting with stem height etc!

you will get numb bollocks with a saddle that angle

precisely … 😉

I was going to ask how you managed to get colour coded forks, didn’t spot it was a Hope sticker.

can run a dropper post on a heckler too
