As above, what size frame do you have, how tall are you and whats your inside leg?
How well do you find it does the climbs and long xc runs?
There is a reason behind my questions 🙂
17.5" frame, 6'1" tall 33" leg (I'm worried I'm being measured up for a box) Climbs fine with the Pikes at 95mm and gets used for all my long rides.
Hey dropoff, rang the chap about collecting the Enduro SL I was meant to be picking up on saturday/sunday and he couldn't even answer the simplest question about the bike!
I got a bad vibe about the whole thing so have decided to keep the Stiffee.
But annoyed though as the chap buying it seemed a nice guy and may be a bit fedup now but it was unavoidable 🙁
Drop off, is that not a bit cramped?
I'm 6ft dead, inside leg 33" and I ride a 19.5" frame with a 70mm stem.
The bike does not climb as well as a "traditional" XC bike but still OK. Mine has 32 Vans R up front (no wind down). I've completed many long rides including enduros and a multi day race. You will feel it more than other bikes (as opposed to my old Evo2).
These points are really minor. I absolutely love the bike. In my opinion the Stiffee is just the same as the present breed of agressive hardtails that the mags etc love.
mine is a medium, so 17.5"?
I'm 1.75m-ish and inside leg is 30"
Have found it wanders a bit on climbs with a long fork, but having something that winds down to 4" solves that. Was my only bike for a while so was used for everything, I do now have bikes that are more comfortable for longer rides though
Feels responsive and quite encouraging to ride.
RRD, Hi no not really but each to their own. I've always preferred a sit up and look forward type of ride rather than a head down feeling. I need a smaller size frame as it suits the type of riding that I love.
