Got a Big Wig. Had it about a month now, maybe slightly less. Coming off the back of mostly riding a rigid steel singlespeed and a gravel bike, it’s bloody fast and composed in comparison. It also feels really planted too on rough and chundery trails.
I suspect some people might think a hardtail might beat you up a bit but to be honest it feels quite comfortable, at least in comparison to the other two bikes.
It’s still taking a bit of getting used to how long it feels but sure that will come with time. And there’s nothing I can reallly complain about out the box. Good wheels, tough tyres (Exo+), decent dropper and Deore/SLX 12 speed is very nice indeed. Only change I’ve made of note is wider bars (800’s with slightly lower rise to replace the 780’s).
I’m really going to look forward to getting more miles on it.
