Smokes that does look like a rock shox reverb. Didn't think they were out until January.

Nice bike. Have fun on that bad boy.

Not sure about polishing it, maybe after the winter.

The front mug guard does work.

Differences between the 2010 version (real-world riding rather than on paper)?

@Carbon337 OCD Dude

@Heihei it easier to pop off logs, jumps and drop offs. I thought the 2009 took a bit of effort to jump, were as this thing fly’s. Its better in the corners (doesn't seem to lose as much speed) and the bike is just quality on the downhill.

Jury's still out on the climbing. I haven't down enough long techy climbs to evaluate. Also I'm waiting on a zs lower cup, so it’s even slacker at the mo with the 160mm forks (67 according to the iPhone app)

I was always told that if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all 😉

When you go down a climb, it's called a descent.

[i]I know those bits of trail.[/i]
Have you ridden at Thrunton?

I've only ridden it at Thrunton, but I've got trips to Hamsterley, Ae, Dalbeattie and Kielder\Newcastleton in the diary 🙂

Whoops! That was meant to say bits of THAT trail in the pics. [img] [/img]

In which case I don't know any there at all. Just really looked like some trails I've ridden in the past.
