Your suggestions, pur-lease! Anything slacker than 69 degrees, specifically. Can be 100mm frame etc…

Thinking of likes of Yeti ASR.

Discounted SC Superlight and Giant Trance.

Cheers!

(and pics would be good 🙂 )

EDIT: just seen the 5″ slack angled thread, and technically 120mm counts as 5″, but needs to take a 120mm 5″ fork instead of a 140mm 5″ fork, if you get my meaning…

bump for anyone who’s not out playing in the snow.

Yeti ASR-5 seems like the natural choice.

Blur XC starts off at 69.5deg with a 100mm fork, but SC say you can run it with a 120mm fork (like mine). How much does that slacken off the head angle?

Stoodents.

Asr5. Want to borrow it again?

yo tbc – how is teh frozen north?

Blur XC Carbon – £2,299
Yeti ASR5 – £1,570
Orange ST4 – £1,480

Oof 🙁

St4 would be my choice.

Onion- 10 inch of snow in the back garden here. Amazing. Keeps falling too.

10 inches in the back garden?! Matron!

I haven’t found a worthy rival to the ASR5 (‘on paper’) and have had another week thinking I should sell it. But nah, riding it is too much fun to take a compromise on something longer travel just to get the geometry.

Maybe the Spesh Stumpjumper – seem to be taking a slackjer approach to things.

what about Blur 4X?

what about Blur 4X?

Only suitable for short arses for trail riding, anyone over 5ft10 or so is going to be uncomfortable/out of controll on longer or faster rides.
