Cheers rocketdog. Sorry for the inconvenience Nick - lighten up it's Friday!
Rode one today. Not an extensive test by any means, but it was nice. Like a bike. Bars were too wide for me though.
You got or getting one in the shop Tim?
The one I tried was a pre-production version. Complete bikes will be with us in January. We will have a demo bike.
Just been on one of these... Very impressed, rails berms, likes drops, but just goes damned fast....

someone suggested that the review can be summarised with...
"You know all that positive air negative air rebound damping sag black box poploc CTD kashima coating VPP progressive stroke compression stuff. You don't need any of that. A few steel tubes, big wheels, simple brakes and a few gears, you're good to go"

You are good to go with that, and its a load of fun:-) However you are not good to go as fast as with all that techy bouncy stuff, that's about all really.
Tools for the job and all that. Fatbike for me next 🙂
