Obelix, yea a good mate is waiting with baited breath for the new sultan. He is a very lanky 6 foot 4 and the only bike he has had that fits him well is an XXL sultan 😆
Ill definitely post up some thoughts after a few rides but it usually takes me a good while to get a proper feel for a bike.
Hmm,
Any info or pictures of this new Sultan?
Thanks,
Max
Nothing formally released regarding the new Sultan from what I've seen, wish there was something.
Info comes from a forum post by Dave Turner on the mtbr website, he said sometime in 2016.
Ahh,
Ok thanks,
Max
First ride in the bag up at laggan yesterday. First thoughts 🙂
1. Climbs way better than a 160mm bike has any right to.
2. Dave Weagle is a genius. Seriously.
3. It corners like it is on rails. Very nimble handling which suits me very well.
4. MRP Stage fork - so far i am also very impressed. Unlike the pike or fox where you add tokens to ramp up at the end of the stroke the adjuster on the left stanchion on the stage has a dial with 16 increments that does this job. It works very well. I had 4 from none out and didn't feel the need for much more. 2 clicks out of 8 of LSC seemed a decent amount as well. I will have to give it a good run in and really mess about with the settings but i have never like a fork so quickly as this. It was very plush initially but when it got technical there was a great deal of mid stroke support.
So far i am a happy lad 🙂
