There seems to be a lot about the Spicy and Zesty everywhere, but what about the X-control - anyone have one, what's it like?
My full sus is a Spesh Epic at the moment, so obviously the X-control is more like it than the Zesty.
Thanks.
They did a mini-review type thing on the news on this very website a few weeks ago....

ah, thanks. Yet another option 😕
Aaaaah. Sorry. I read the title as X-Flow, not X-Control. D'OH!!
Anyhow - MBR (for what it's worth) did a review of these kind of bikes a while back. It included the X-Control, Epic Evo & Orange ST4 as well as some others.
They didn't think much of the X-Control.
X-Control 510 here.
My first full sus so I don't have anything to compare it against, but it is bloody amazing on local routes compared to my hardtails.
I got rather a good deal, almost £1k off original list price and quite a few £100s off the shop price at the time so was in the right place at the right time to buy it.
Aha MBR. Thought I'd heard a not-to-favourable review somewhere. Thanks. Will search it out.
Seeing at the Zesty etc are so good I thought I'd look at it.
1k off the RRP is certainly a deal clincher.
