To initial conversation: Totem had basic 'motion control' damper and 40 legs - which led to subpar performance and overkill weight; Modern forks have far superior dampers and air springs, and stiffer platform is needed to allow damper to perform better; I bet ZEB/39/Mezzer will perform better then lyric Also in case someone have ridden dh bikes: DC forks have...

typically fork cost arm and leg for the dirt jump bike + probably frame; I would say for 1500 I would deficiently go custom route for the DJ bike; Speck wise this Kona look like complete trash, you have only Frame and Fork that are suppose to be good

Any One Up or Shimano component that goes to my bike considered as a good upgrade (never used their stem so have no clue about this tricky lock system); formula brakes with their magic connector as well; Anything from race face considered as a opportunity to have an upgrade within few month again;
Hostility is the result of my lack of patience for dumb stuff and how this industry will promote it nonstop and never mention that it is not necessary. Nobody wants to upset their buddies in man buns. I will and don't GAF. BTW- How in the hell does this protect against anything but the most minor of scratches? Most of the frame damages I see involve deep gouges by chains or rocks.

In an industry overwhelmed with dumb and overpriced products. The protection film market is leading the charge for the stupid looking to give away their money because they don't want a scratch on their frame. Insane.

Frame storage on all frame - it is a win for a lot of customers, I like the bik, there are few things that confuses me, as a loooong legged person, seat angle, and ETT; As for review - nice job Vital!

Spot on review! Thank you; I remember riding old norco 2014/2015 they just snap at the chainstay’s and were supershort in terms of reach; glad that they managed geo and hopefully reliability of the bearings; New models looks quite promising; Currently I’m hesitant btw stumpjumper evo and norco models as next bike. Based on norco size chart 6’1 person should go with XL which is kinda strange to me, since this is average height, and i doubt 6’4 and 6’1 should ride the same bike size;
