When the new revision of the Meta AM, the geometry reached a near perfect level of aggressiveness. The amount of travel is ideal for this super-duro bike, while being progressive enough to maintain a lighter trail feel than a thoroughbred DH bike. The color ways were very good looking online, and they proved to be brilliant and deep in real life. The ride feel is exceptional, with plenty of small bump sensitivity, and end stroke progression. It is heavy, my build turned out to be 38 lbs but this adds to its character and isn't super noticeable on the climbs...

Hi Vital Forum peoples, This is not Vital's fault what so ever, we have ask them to take it down. The info out was not images of bikes but mock up CAD images which honestly as just shit with loads of incorrect details. These files are only ever intended to go to our dealers (and should never make it beyond this) to help them. Hand on heart we will never ask to remove genuine "spy shots" out in the field/ testing, where things are open to public to shoot. We promise your patience will be worth while when the time...

We're here now and kind of all I am asking is that we would prefer to keep our toys in our toy box until its time to play with them. This bike that has been shared/ leaked by a dealer (an error on their part) is still some way off with no fixed release date- especially difficult to pin in the current global climate (and way beyond October FYI!). We choose not to release information too early so to not frustrate/ infuriate potential customers, that may think it will be here next week. We're pretty open as one of the...

bizutch Liked a product review Solid choice for aggressive warm weather riding

To review this, I preface that my right knee hates any pad pressure. Tried several renditions over the years and anything that pushes my patella bone at all will cause joint pain in 10 minutes. Only pad prior to these that sat off my knee cap enough were Troy Lee Raids, which I still love but can get warm. Needed something cooler for the summer heat. Leatt's 2020 redesigned Airflex knee gets a higher impact rating than similar light duty trail pads due to its external open, semi rigid pad. Had Leatt confirm that it is a " non-Newtonian material...
