Im currently riding the ’19 comp alloy 29er.. i know what you mean about the back end feeling a bit numb. A mate of mine refuses to ride spesh for that very reason… he said its just the way they feel with the linkage design. Coming from a mojo hd its very apparent.
Ive been getting ontop of the shock settings and that has been having results.
And like you say the big tires wont help either.
All told though its a weapon. Eats up the rough and fast.
