Rode one yesterday at the yt demo. Thought it was an excellent bike. Very fast stable and confidence inspiring really good fun to ride. Jumped well on trail features, had lots of pop and was nibble. My wife tried one too and loved it as well despite it being her first go on a 29er

Just keeping an eye on this post. Looking to order the same model in an XL but they're not due until mid August.
I'm 6" 2" and thinking of an xl. Have you ordered? Wondering if I should get in now as they are proving so popular or so it seems. Otherwise if I do decide to go for it could be arriving in winter when I'll be too precious about it and using my rigid karate monkey for winter slop duties!
Looks incredible. If I didn't have a new bike on order I'd be considering one.
Coomber, I'm 6ft and only been able to try an XL. Felt right.
I'm thinking the same, I don't want to pay now as they're not due for a few months but agree it could be winter before delivery
That's good to know. Dilemma on ordering though.. if you go for it post up some pics when it arrives in a few months!
Bomberman: Which Offset Pikes did you go for? Currently trying to decide whether to do similar to mine or get a Jeffsy...
bomberman - MemberIts marketed as an all round trail bike not an enduro, the capra fills that gap
There's not really a line between the two tbh, the most succesful enduro race bike of all time is marketed as a trailbike after all.

You could race a raleigh chopper down fort william but it doesnt mean you would win.

That is a tough choice. Im not sure because i didnt buy them new, id measure it if i could but its added at the crown as well as the axle. All i can say is that its a much more fun bike, confidence inspiring. The Jeffsy looks very similar right down to the frame shape and linkages it just has that extra 20mm travel. Im more than happy with 120mm at the back and adding the pike at the front has filled the hole in my heart that knew something wasnt right. 46 or 51mm offset it wont make any difference i shouldnt think, not even the experts can agree which is better for a 29er. I would just do it and then if youre still not happy look at the jeffsy again. Go for 140 and lower it to 130 if you need to.
Whatever offset the jeffsy has go for that
Cheers, might look for a 2nd hand set to try, can always sell on if I decide it doesn't work for me and then go the new bike route
Any more info on the Jeffsy? I'm interested to see how it copes on the rear with clearance in thick mud. as it looks quite tight for space. all info appreciated as its top of my list just now
Any updates?
How are you getting along with Jeff?
Holy thread resurrection .
Any updates now you've ridden it for awhile ?

As a Hightower owner, this review makes the Jeffsy seem like incredible value.
