Yes but I doubt it’d be any quicker than a trail ht with 120mm forks. It goes without saying, much slower than my fs.
Would you still say the same if you rode one of these?
Well I’d need to ride one to be sure but my guess would be a similarly specced £4000 fs with 150mm travel or more would be considerably quicker. If anyone wants to lend me a Salsa Buckshaw I’ll happily test that.
As a cheapish (not really) and cheerful play/fun bike for a change of pace then I can see the point, but as a 3,4,5 thousand pound full suss with all the maintenance, complexity and technology that comes with it, I think not.
