I like the look of them, they seem a little confused over their cable routing though, at least its not running down the down tube though!

My mate has one and absolutely flies on it.
He loves it.
It rockets up the climbs and thunders down the hill.
If i was looking for a new bike it would be one of them.

So i sold me nomad a wee while ago and replaced it with a blur 4x love both bikes. But there's something about this bike that floats my boat. i like the 130 -160 option what do you think about 160mm out of a 50mm stroke shock?

Just for your information we are currently making new plates for the blade to slacken the head angle by about a degree, will transform the ride for alpine stuff, call us at mtb direct if you are interested
