It's a fun bike.





Very "flickable" and very easy to get the front end up. Same wheelbase and CS length I'm used to, but the weight bias of the bike is a touch different than I'm used to. Over an inch shorter BB height as well - had a couple pedal strikes, but got used to it pretty quickly, and shouldn't cause any more trouble. Overall TT and cockpit Not what I'd chose for an all day pedaly ride, but fun for all my local 2-3 hour stuff. Very responsive - rewards clean line choices, and is very unforgiving of the not so clean. Not a plow bike by any stretch. Have your line choosing skills fairly dialled in to use this as a trail bike, at least on chunky stuff. Pedal and it goes - not loosing much to the back end flexing; did I mention it's really stiff?
