Finally got out yesterday on the lefty, but firstly a massive thank you to everyone who wished my wife a speedy recovery from her spinal surgery.
Since getting the bike I’ve made a few changes
New carbon bars and Esi grips
Sunrace 11-40 cassette and 32t oval chainring
Maxxis dhf 3C and Aggressor rear tyre.
To be honest riding on the trails initially felt odd looking down to find a one stancion fork but after a few minutes I was too busy concentrating on the trail ahead as the bike is so nimble and fast I forgot about the lefty.
The lefty fork just floats over roots and rutts with ease but is stiff and responsive when called upon. The frame has very little flex when accelerating out of the turns and to be honest climbs fantastically, I’ve had 4 29er bikes and this climbs and covers ground as well as they did.
Where I ride this bike has everything I need and being a serial bike changer this is a keeper.
So thank you to my wife and kids for rejuvenating my desire to get up the mountains.
