thanks man!
Personal opinion here: Revelstoke! That place is incredible. -Skye
Oh don't worry, shipping crew is still doing their thing! Just experiencing heavy traffic at the moment , it'll be on the way soon!
Hey Travvy, Stoked you like the new designs! Darrin killed it with these. I run a Scout currently, and have played with a few travel configurations and eventually landed on 150/150. The Scout is my only trail bike, so the extra travel in the back is ... more »
With the V1 Sentinel being more linear, it really depends on what you are wanting to get out of the bike. If you are looking for better ground traction and the ability to plow through chatter, I'd say go coil. But it will make the bike less "poppy" and ... more »
Chaz has a big moment coming up actually! But until then, I'm guessing he is out crushing KOMs while the rest of us take it easy... -Skye
Word on the street is Randy will be making a Transition to another team next season....
You definitely won't regret it!

@jeff.brines @bermsmasher The new bikes actually handle even better at low speeds than previous models. The idea behind "Speed Balanced Geometry" is that the bike's characteristics match the wheel speed. As such, at low speeds, it's quick and nimble, and at high speeds, it's stable. The new bikes achieve this in multiple ways, one way being the steeper seat tube angle. This keeps the riders mass up and forward on the bike, instead of sagging deep into the travel and being behind center on a steep climb. This keeps the bike from "wandering" while climbing. In addition, the short offset fork makes the steering quicker and more nimble while doing those small corrections while climbing technical terrain, while the slack headtube keeps it stable at high speeds where you are rarely turning your handlebars more than a few degrees. This is all pretty complicated stuff, so summing it up in a comment is tough! But from our testing, and the reviews of the many riders that have ridden them, the new bikes pedal as well or better than previous.

If it moves so much easier rearward, what happens when you HTF? (real question not snark)
