Interesting comparison with the capra Al base. Similar spec, geometry and weight. All for £2k less. Really surprised by the MT weight seems a good chunk more than a nomad
Not too surprised here, 29 wheels means heavier wheels, heavier forks and a beefier headtube to account for the longer forks.
Not sure how you can say you don't need more than 130 of travel on a bike in the uk. Surely it's entirely dependent on where you ride. Sure most folk that buy it won't ride it to anywhere near it's potential, on trails that don't require anything more than a trail or xc bike. But If I entered any of my local enduro events in the borders, or was a keen racer, I would be far faster on the mega tower than I would be on the 5010.
Is it any different than any other big wheeled, long travel bike though..not really.
No idea how a 130mm bike can be perfect for UK riding when rider A likes going full throttle down fort William and rider B prefers the blue route at the local trail centre.
I wouldn't be content with only 130mm of travel.
