I know a few have been ridden and reported on but I would like to know what they are like for fast riding, jumps drops berms etc. The type of riding a longtravel hardtail revels in. can it do it, is it lively enough or is it a tank. I really want one but have the mile munching rides covered by my ss 29er so it would be used for general ragging, uplift days and messing around. what do you think

Ajantom seems to rag his around well enough!

Yup 🙂 just loaded up the GPS from last night and got a couple of rooty singletrack KOMs on strava.
I ride pretty much anything I’d do on my Dialled Alpine on the Krampus. Some bits are a bit hairier, but that’s half the fun.

It’s just a mountain bike, that does it all. But goes over rocks and round corners shit fast. I am converted.
Rides much lighter than it looks.

Enjoyed it locally, and at Afan.
