I had a carbon version when I was about 14-15, and it was pretty awesome. Handled awesome, but had the stiffness of a wet noodle.

I work for Sensus, so I am stoked to see people are liking the Meaty Paws. Thanks for the support! I have dealt with tennis elbow for years, as well as arthritis in my hands. Here is what helped me a ton. I go back and forth with the Meaty Paws and EMJ grips. I do think there is a...

Considering a Z1 is 2200g, seems suspect. I'm guessing the 1 in the weight is supposed to be a 5. Looks cool though.

Love the 60mm risers! Im only 6' and gangly and my 50mm are above my seat too. Plus it saves your back. I've always thought the Claymore was one of the best looking bikes out there. You need some Meaty Paws on there!

12/12/2023 9:13am

I like my bike high and short, due to my riding style, my body, and my back. I have long legs, and a short torso, and like having the bike pretty much as nimble as possible. BMX and freeride background. I run either 40mm or 50mm rise bars on all my bike, including my downcountry bike. 32-38mm stem, with typically...

I am almost 6'1" on a MED setup really tall, and this is the most comfortable climbing bike I have ever had. Short top tube, but the reach is still great. Definitely not the most efficient, but still gets it done. Switching to a high pivot is still a work in progress on jumps but the harder you push this bike, especially on steep stuff, it works well.

The pivot is just above and in front of the idler. Not quite, but close.

That place was awesome. Strait and Sage ridiculing me for riding like a bodybuilder, are great memories.

I had one of those. That thing rode like a wet noodle, but handled just as good as my Intense M1, which was my next bike. I was only about 130lbs then, so noddle stiffness was not a problem.
