I've slung a leg over various mates ones before but had a proper blast on my new one today.....jesus wept it almost feels like cheating, grip is phenomenal, angles allow mickey taking lines and following a contraventional line is a thing of the past as you can just plough though or over anything in your way....bank balance is gonna suffer this year with race entries!
Dare I ask.......
Yep. No substitute for slackness, a nice pair of supertackies and 8+ inches of bounce.(and an uplift)
Hes all happy now, wait till he has to pedal it 🙂
got the YT then? yep agreed they are rad !
Yep, bought large.... I'm 5' 9" and it feels just right, Christ knows what 6ft+ riders must feel like on one!?
Oh, and order to delivery was less than a week, superb.
Have only rented for 2 days in Alps but agreed, the difference on the right track is gob smacking 🙂

I had a go on one last year and had to steal it for a second run as first time round I underestimated just how much faster than a 150mm full suss a dh bike was.
Quite glad the uplift at Triscombe doesn't run anymore as I think I would have bought one by now if it did as I don't do pushing.
They're great as long as you don't need to pedal!
29lbs?
^^ 😆
29lbs?
That's almost lighter than a Capra!
At 29lbs most of us would have a go at pedalling it most places! 😀
I miss mine. TBH for most stuff at innerleithen, bpw and the like my Remedy's just as fast but it's that last 10%... Just firing it into rock gardens with total disregard was something else.
I miss my DH bike
but my problem was that I couldnt really justify keeping it when I spend my biking time is limited by family and stuff
That said if I did see one at the right price on ebay.....
