I was lucky enough to be leant one for 4 days while in the 7 stanes back in Feb. Was told the back flexed a surprising amount by the guys cycling behind me. Was a bit short for my liking however the suspension trigger thing became second nature after a few hours. I’m no journalist so the following review is a bit poor; I enjoyed it. Climbed well in short travel and descended really well in full on bouncy mode. The Fox 32s it comes with are supper plush but they look really dinky on such a fat frame, it just looks silly from the front.

I like the idea and quite like the look. You don't see many of them around and I'd love to try one out. I can't decide between a Jekyll and a SB66 at the moment. sat on and ridden up and down the road on both but just can't tell what ones going to be the one.

Thanks guys. Was set on getting a Canyon Nerve AM 9 but then came across this and liked the idea of 90/150 lockout, and am now back to square one and deciding what bike to get! It's doing my head in to be honest 🙂
