Been looking at the above as something not too hardcore/long and low.
I may be miles off here of course.
Anything much between the 2018 and current versions? I see hidden cables have arrived (meh) but is there anything else?
Ta lots

Hi Matt, if you go on alpkit website there will be contact details for Sonder customer services.

I took the 2021 version to the alps this summer and it was ace fun. I put a 180mm rear disc on and it was a real laugh

Newer ones are a little longer in reach, a bit shorter on top tube but same 65° head angle

Excellent simple frames

New ones based around a 150 fork, original was 140. Newer one slightly slacker and longer but the old one was hardly old school.

Great frame.

I think they’re great. I’d buy one if I was in the market

I've owned both versions, they ride in a very similar, deceptively effective way. Better with a floaty 2.8 out back than a 2.6 I reckon. Just a really nice, all-round trail hardtail. Insert in the rear tyre is a good idea unless you like fixing flats.
