Sorry, but that’s the most worthless statement I’ve read on STW for a long time
I’m 5’8″ an ride a medium Pitch. The cockpit feels quite short to me, but it’s a fantastic bike for ‘mucking about on’. Indeed, I’d say that’s exactly what it was designed for. It’s certainly NOT an XC bike though. It climbs fine yes, but it’s too slack and chunky to be sprightly going UP.
Going DOWN, however, is a different story…. [:D]
If you want a bike to plod steadily to the top of a mahoosive hill, then fling down the other side at breakneck speed, get a Pitch. If you want a bike to ride all day on Enduros, get something else
Yes, it probably was a worthless statement since Ive never ridden one, but I guess it depends on your definition of ‘mucking about’
I would say bmx tracks, jumps, short downhills and maybe some 2 hour xc rides is general mucking about sort of stuff. In which case a slack, long 6inch travel full sus isnt going to help you at all. But as you say, if you want to ride downhill fast then Im sure the pitch is very good
