Liking the look of the 140 full 29er in S4 (6'1") and the 160 mullet

Coming from a bird aeris am160 with coil RockShox super deluxe coil and lyrik ultimates rolling on xm1700 wheelset.

Frame/fork/shock/wheelset wise (would swap all build kit) - a comedown on quality of the bird for little gain (new bike that's all) or any significant improvement on what I have? I'd think not 😂

Calamine lotion my itch please

What are you looking to change for?

Unless it's one of the first Birds, I would suggest the aeris is a far superior bike to the status.

Spent the day at BPW today on my 160 and it was honestly fantastic! Just loved it.

Could you mullet the Aeris? 140mm 29" fork and I assume you could put a 145mm rear link from the Aeris 145

I'd assume they know better than a random dude on the internet having designed the bike and having the figures there in front of them 👍🏻
