Additional Info

Update: Have put around 400 miles on the bike so far. Handled Whistler and everything else I’ve thrown at it. Have a hand full of 3k+ vert pedal rides on it and haven’t felt the weight or “drag” made a noticeable difference on the climbs. Only time the weight bothers me, is when I have to take it out of the truck on shuttle days.

Only have a few rides on it, but it shreds. Gearbox has been wicked. Down shifting can be awkward at times but up shifting is crazy fast. Suspension feels incredible but need to get it to the bike parks this summer for a proper beat down. Cheers for checking out my bike!
