Damn like that. That is a state of the art rear linkage, basically looks like a hard tail. Nice!

Hi !
I don't know if the rear linkage looks like a hard trail, but everything is clearly compact, looks good, and work well ! :D

Hi!!
Wonderful bke! Planning to buy an enduro / Big enduro bike, I would like to have your feedback on the pedaling capability of this beast? Does it feel heavy or hard to ride on more trail riding session?
Thanks!!

@Aksel_Lfft Hi !
Thanks !
I don't pedal a lot with it, but like a lot of other dudes who bought this bike, I think that it climbs pretty well for a bike with 180mm rear ! It doesn't fell heavy, but I just have to say that I sometimes loose the traction on the front, and if I had bought a smaller frame (it's actually a Large frame), I probably should have bought a longer dropper post (like 150mm) too. Also, smaller tires and going tubeless would help a lot, but I don't have to complain
I bought it to do a lot of freeride/bikepark tracks. If you want to pedal, perhaps a Propain Tyee would be better ?

Hi!
Thanks for your answer. Indeed I think the tyee might be a better choice, more versatile. Anyway it has a similar good looking shape, with top components. Thanks again and have a great ride!

I've always wanted to try one of these out.

Clearly a good bike ! Pedal pretty well uphill for a 180mm bike, and descend like a charm ! Long low and slack, stable at speed.. just the rear suspension a little bit too linear.
