It felt like the fully I've been seeking since I began screwing around with them - something that handles like my hardtails, yet has the squish for those "heavy flow" days.
44" WB 17" stays 23" tt 13.3" BB height 66* HTA Short travel, slack, tough. Very little tweaking on trail to get comfy on the thing. Other contenders were the Sinister Gruitr, and a Specialized SX with a 140mm fork. Either setup how I want would give me similar numbers tow hat I'm after, but I"ve been curious about these frames for a while now.
