I haven't ridden a DH bike since 26" days. I'd love a day out on one of these but not enough to spend my own money on one.
Similar - the last DH bike I owned was a 26" NP Pulse in 2013! I'd love to see how a (more) proper sized DH bike would ride like now, but not curious enough - or have the ability to disengage my brain sufficiently - to buy one again.
I'm still riding my 2015 myst (27.5" flavour) but having ridden my scout at antur I would be struggling to justify getting a new dh bike. Just not worth it unless you are racing
Not as nice as the previous Mysts, the new Saracens kinda look cheap in comparison.
I'd the shimano m520 brake(on the myst pro) come fitted to my ebike, and pretty damn good they are too. a real diamond in the rough.
