Evoc bike bag as a replacement for a bike box is an incredible idea. Obviously some of the cost of this will be passed on to the consumer, but it's a very nice touch.
Bike geo is very with the times, would love to test that linkage set up.

It's weird to order the nicest frame on the market and then buy the cheapest carbon wheels...

Hey there, 2.3 on the Flows was great, no issues besides not really loving the Aggressor. I'd like to tryout the 2.5 version soon but I'm not sure there is enough clearance on the Smuggler. I've been on a Sentinel this year and am moving on to the Ransom shortly so I'm not as limited by tire clearance.

In your opinion, would the upgraded damper outweigh the performance benefits on climbs/sprints with having the twinloc on the fork?

Yes, I think you can run a normal CTD remote on the shock, and I've also heard you can rig up an old 3-speed gripshifter....

Have a 910 coming next month and I'm stoked. I'm curious though Brandon, most of the other reviews on this bike have ragged on the Twinloc attachment at the fork suggesting the bike would be better off without the fork lockout and the new grip2 damper. Seems like you enjoyed the fork and thought the bike was well balanced front to back?

I never rode the bike stock, but it cornered awesome with the angleset. That being said my Sentinel out corners it any day, not all about length ya know?

I saw on one of the other sites the Ransom is full bearings, which is the main culprit in the increase in weight over the Genius frame.

How much difference in performance was there between the stock Nude shock and the Super Deluxe?

This thing is gorgeous. Think this is the 2nd of your bikes I've stumbled across randomly and drooled over.

How did you get the cable routing to jive with the MRP guide? I can't figure out how to get my SXG on there.

This was awesome to watch, however, I wanna hear more about the comparison of these bikes to the DH bike. I'm always the dissenting opinion on the "you can totally ride you're enduro bike like a DH bike" argument.
Can't wait to get my Sentinel frame!

I'm glad I'm not the only person who's thought about putting a dropper on a DJ. A friend told me KS is making a non-remote dropper with a pretty large drop for city bikes I thought might be cool for that purpose.

Is that a 34 on the front or a 36?

Absolutely! You probably already know this but a lot of the Transition guys were running old RC4s off the V2 Covert. I pleaded with about 5 people selling old Coverts to sell me the shock but no one would budge. I'd be curious to try that setup with the Boost Valve.
I'm about 195 lb in riding gear and this is a 500 x 2.25 spring. Little on the stiff side but the bike feels better in all regards. I don't use the CS except long dirt roads for the most part and running a little less sag seems to help a lot with rock strikes in the Front Range.

I absolutely love the coil. With the CS I think climbing is better (minus the added weight) and downhill it feels much more controlled. The DHX2 is a custom job from Fox for one of the TR employees though and it has a much larger bumper that normal. My fear was having enough bottom out resistance and with that it's better than my air shock was, can't comment on other brands. Ohlins also has a custom bumper for their shock and they have a tune for the Smuggler.

Nice ride. What are your thoughts on the coil? Tempted to run a CC IL coil on my smug.
