Had anyone got the new Airdrop Filter mullet?

Is it any good and what is it good at? 

Any thoughts on how accurate their sizing is?

I've not got the Filter, but I do have an Edit MX as a few do on here.  Love Airdrop bikes, have done from day one, it just took a good number of years for me to get around to buying one.

I'm 5'10" and had a test ride on the S2 and the S3.  I could have ridden either but the S2 would have been a short duration play bike, I chose the S3 as it's a ride all day trail bike.

Hope that helps a little.

If the Filter had been available when I bought my Edit MX I’d possibly have gone for the Filter as a shorter travel version.  But it wasn’t and I love my Edit.  I’m 5’8” on an S2 and find it spot on for size.

I would have had a very tough decision if the Filter had been available when I needed to buy my new bike. 

When you look at the numbers it stacks up very close to my Edit MX. I'm 5'9" and on an S2 Edit MX. I was right on the border but the moment I hopped on it the bike felt 'right'.

Not ridden one but it's definitely one of the trail bikes I'd like to try out! Only thing for me is there doesn't look much difference between this and the Edit MX except for 20mm more travel and 1 degree slacker on the edit. I imagine it rides more like an enduro bike than a more nimble trail bike?

Same as Onzadog really, Edit MX, S3, 5'10. The Airdrop people are great, as is the bike. Recommended.

Thanks, I've booked a demo. I'm 175cm so on the boarder between S2 and S3

How did you get on? Looking at a new bike filter/edit on the list. I am the exact same size as you
