Why this bike?

Bought this bike as my first full-sus because it was good value and had everything I was looking for in terms of geometry, travel etc. Since then I have crashed and broken some things, worn some others out and gradually upgraded it. Swapped the original 140mm Bomber Z2 fork for a Psylo 150mm. Just installed some Hope Tech 4 V4s. Hunt Trail wheels upgrade from the original WTBs.

I love it still! Perfect for the steeps. The only thing I would like is more insertion depth for a longer dropper but other than that I’m a happy man.
