Any one out there got or has tried a production privee GT out ?
Your thoughts on how they ride etc would be great
( would be even better if anyone has tried a last fast forward and scout as well )
Cheers all

Had a v2 last not much time on it but it felt pretty good very stable on the downhills and ok at climbing. Only sold it due to what turned to be abig old cock up on mybehalf! (Long story).
got a 2017 bigwig built at the min seems pretty good same size as the last long and low shorter travel but is a more usable format I think for all types of riding! And hate to say just picked up a second hand Shan gt that but that's gonna be a couple of weeks I think before it's built! Gonna keep the wig at 120 travel and Shan go to 140 I think or my be th friend other way round not quit sure which way yet!
see how they compare and like the most so as to move one on.

I've got one, it's pretty good, definitely one of the nicer hardtails I've ridden. They size up small mind.

My bud has one - IMO it's the paint jobs that sets them apart - riding characteristics wise they're nothing special.
