Have you tried the aggressor? Not a true ss, I have been running on my Ripley and it rolls pretty damn good. Maybe they will exo+ the minion ss soon. The wtb trail boss might be a good try.

Hmm, was thinking nice looking pair, however availability in black as for now? No thank you! Otherwise regular fiveten, that should cost 60-80$

Cool. But I wish companies would bark up a "tree that matters". Carbon vs Carbon vs Aluminum bla bla bla really doesn't matter all that much on the trail. Unlike road riding, there are so many factors that contribute to ride quality. Tires, suspension, handlebar etc. Carbon fiber frames aren't bad, but they feel more like a byproduct of a stale industry (back when nobody knew where to take things to sell more of them...) than something fully revolutionary. Small bike companies, here is an idea that'd be a game changer. Focus on getting the front and back tire equally...

First off great review. I have both of the bikes tested plus an HTLT as well and would echo your experiences in climbing. The Evo is very underrated in this area and it absolutely crushes the climbs. I find that the steep seat tube means that I don't have to fight to keep the front wheel on the ground which takes a surprising amount of energy and core strength. I constantly laugh at people that say slack bikes can't climb well. It is all about the SA, not the HA. Regarding descending, my experience does not mirror that of Brines...

RF or fall line are great options, you can lift bike by seaddle, operates below zero, simple and easy maintanaceble... RF have some issue from factory, however fallline rebuild kit solves them, except of seaddle lock mechanism, depending on the market one of them will be cheaper... All others dropper s are good, however are restrict lifting bike using seaddle, which is major issue for me.

Few more years and they will manage proper Geo, such as 65/77 with properly sized reach CS, it does look nice, however, most brands afraid of radical proper change of the geometry... Yt provide good value, however frames are not superb quality ( in the past) Thnx for the review
