I’m in the market for a hardtail and, among others, this is on my shortlist.

Any owners care to share their views/ownership experience?

Will be used mainly in the dark peak but also trail centres

No personal experience but a friend had one for a bit, also riding Dark Peak. He found it too stiff and swapped it for one of the current version Sonder Transmitters.

Almost identical geometry to the original Bird Zero AM, which is a great riding frame.
