Yeah it will pretty much roll over anything. Stuff i would be hesitant to attack is easy on this thing. Not quite as flickable as my hardtail, but i guess i can't have everything.

^^ Amazing color matching!!! Do you have tubes in those fat tires? Or do you use tubeless?

Thanks, I'm just about to order some new parts to get it ready for the upcoming season (it was my daily commuter this past winter until I got a new beater road bike); new, fatter (green) grips, a 1x10 setup and new chain guide, a black and green Fizik Tundra 2 saddle, new bottom bracket, new brake pads...this summer when the cash is available I'm getting some Industry9 Enduro wheels in black rim, green nipples, black spokes, green hub. Gahh I can't wait haha.

I run tubes but I do want to try out a Stans NoTube setup sometime. Those tires are 2.35 front and rear, I'm getting a High Roller 2 or a Kaiser to swap out the Bontrager with.

For what ever reason I find the huge tires and puny disc brakes unattractive... Are you gonna upgrade to some larger ones?

Those puny Avid discs stop me as well as anything out there.

The only benefit to running larger discs is for big dudes who like to challenge gravity and I am a buck fifty five when my pockets are filled with rocks.

Nice bike sloar!! How do those wheels hold up under the trails? To me it looks like they'd snap on the smallest drop...

Current iteration, Fuji SLM 2.0 Carbon... Fox Float 32... Just upgraded the brakes to XT M785 and a Thomson seatpost. Next up, wheels. Sits sub 23 right now could be a good bit lighter with the new wheels.

I had a pair of the 26" spinergy blade mags, blew the rear hub out while riding in Moab. Luckily I had the spins with me as a back up.
