    I demo’d one, very fast, but wasn’t entirely convinced I’d be able to keep up with it all day and still enjoy the descents. Seems to be an opinion backed up by the number of people on here who bough them then ‘improved’ them with 120mm forks

    Probably the fastest bike to do a lap of a trail centre, but probably not the most fun.

    I have the 09 model, still with 100mm forks. Great bike. Very plush (especially now I’ve replaced the pivot bearings) and really efficient. Pro-pedal isn’t really necessary. It’s a riot on the descents and a rocket in the singletrack. Obviously not very slack, but I’ve taken it down a lot of very tecchy stuff (though haven’t really jumped it). The only concessions i’ve made to Gnarrr are flat pedals and an 80mm stem

    Depends on the trail centre….. Alpine v Anthem

    for example:
    Mabie – Anthem
    Glentress – Alpine
    Inners – Anthem
    Drumlanrig – Anthem
    Golspie – Alpine (although the climb is obviously evil)
    Carron Valley – Anthem

    In my opinion anyway.
    That’s with 100mm fork, 90mm stem and skinny bars
