Yep a large. Had a Cube Fritzz for a while and a Zesty for 2 years before that and I find the Butcher a lot better although to be fair to the Zesty, that did only had a basic Float R.
It climbs really well, even better with propedal on. Only slightly odd thing rear suspension does it a kinda delayed bob if you hit a big root sat down in 6+ at the back but not really an issue as rarely in those gears. Downhill at Cwmcarn uplift day last Friday it was also brilliant.
Not the lightest thing in the world, its 32.3lbs on proper scales although in STW pick a figure out of the air/use dodgy bathroom scales that must be about 23lb? lol.
I have a friend with one and he also loves it after running a variety of Commenceals etc in the past
