Yup that one. Maybe just a poor piece of journalism ?

Kind of interesting that they choose to send the demo bike out with 32s on it, not 36s

The boyfriend rode a Transition Covert at the Mega this year and said it was ideal. For the week biking in Morzine before the event he'd put a Transition Blindside in the van too, but said he ended up riding the Covert most of the time cause it handled everything so well and was a really fun ride. He had the complete build, but I know you can get it frame only. Said the dropper seat post and the angles of the bike made the ups relatively easy. (Last year he took a Trek Scratch which was too DH orientated.)
I've currently got a Lapierre Spicy which has been an amazing bike, but am considering the Covert when it's time to replace.

If its a UK demo bike, I think I have a good idea why they put 32's on it.

Yeah spicy is on my list. At least it's proven technology I liked the look of the 66 but wont be buying early.

Please don't say any more scarymissmary! It's already the first bike I've desired since getting my 575!

Blur lt2/c with 36s. I run lt2, ridden Spain, mega and Italy on it this year. Best bike I have ever owned. Cheaper option would be a butcher with 36s. 66 builds up okay weight wise for those worried about such things but once you scruz... T

Still waiting for my Yeti. Ordered in June or July. Can't remember now. Might get it in 3 weeks.
LBS has sold a lot of BLT's, I wanted something different & single pivots don't do it for me. Should be worth the wait though.

New tracer is an improvement, but still a tad too steep really.

I thought Box won the overall Gravity Enduro series this year on a Tracer2?
