turns in better, holds its line better, soaks up the rough trails better than anything i’ve ridden in the last 15 or so years.
(if you must know, that list would include, zaskars’s, explosif, cinder cone, humu, stumpy’s, Inbred’s, King Kahuna, Mosquito, tange prestige, LTS-1, Prophet, CAAD4/5, F800/900/1000, Jekyll, Turner 5, Maxlight, 456, & others ive no doubt forgotten)
limited experience of full suss, but prefer lower maintenance.
I just wanted the world to know. Its a great feeling when you feel you’ve finally found that elusive cycling Nirvana.
The biggest change in the last couple years has probably been switching to a much shorter stem than an old XC die hard would deem natural.. 50/60mm these days.. with a nice wide bar, it’s like night/day compared to riding older twitchy speed machines.
I’ll stick a pic up tonight fo’ shizzle
