RC627 vs Sherpa
The Sherpa was a normal hardtail like the old Cotic souls and RM Blizzards. It was comfy flexed well and felt fast but neutral. It was also short so I was running a 60-70mm stem.
The Pace feels like its pushing me up the hills.
It smooths the ride but doesn’t squirm when I put the power down.
Downhill It turns between the trees before I have thought to turn the bars. I swear its possessed and reading my mind. It is the most enjoyable bike to ride.
I am running a 150mm Fox 36 ebike fork which is amazing, and a 31.5mm stem and 2.6 tires. Where as, on the Stanton I had a longer stem and a 120mm fork with 2.2 tires.
Also worth noting is that a 29 inch hope enduro wheel with a 2.35 Hans dampf fits fine into the back of my RC627 with the dropouts slid all the way back. The bb is low to start with so this doesn’t raise it higher that a lot of 29ers.
