Would like thoughts on the stiffness of the rear when pushed hard on rocky stuff. Also does it have pop? I find the El Guapo very grounded. Other thoughts welcome.

Sorry to bomb your post, have you got an el guapo?
In thinking of getting one as there great value
Are they all 29?
What are they like?
Recommend?

I have a 26 V3 they are long at the rear triangle, low at the BB very stable at speed. Have a DH bike kind of feel to them.

slight hijack….

I’m going looking at the elguapo today.

Any pointers I know about the faulty bb heights

is the BB in line with the axels? on my 1st frame the BB was 5mm lower, and On one swapped the frame for me.. level is the key….

fantastic value frame though and descends (as syggested above) like a little DH bike.

Yeah I have an in special frame two other things is that it generates really good grip when climbing but it isn’t the most efficient. The bearings are bombproof I pretty much wore out the anodising on my shock but bearings are like new.

Must be someone….
