Perfect! So much power. Have you ever hear of the Trickstuff Maxima? The Direttissima/V4 is on par with it!

Yup. Have compared them. The only difference is the lever throw which is a bit longer on my brakes.

Thanks for doing that in english. As a EXT Storia owner I would have to agree with the sentiment that it is hard to give an completely objective opinion of frame kinematics because it performs so well it could possibly negate some bad characteristics you might notice with a different shock. Looks like a fun bike though. I am very interested in trying a high single pivot design.

looking good, please make some more photos (details etc)…
size l ??? how tall are you, how does sizing feel for you…
any frame anomalies you didn't like (like cable routing,frame protection, overall build, linkage motion, bearings protection, finish etc…)
i guess you looking for ultimate planted bike (HP, EXT and COIL in front), but does it pop of things if you wanted to…
any trouble keeping chain on the chainring, i notice you only run 30 t ring…does chain need extra links if going bigger???
is there any benefits for using hope caliper over trickstuff…
See ya...

It's a size L. I'm 1.80m with an inseam of 86. It really feels well and the geometry is almost the same as on my Megatower large.

The only thing I don't like is the downtube protector. It's too small and a Rock Guardz would be so cool. I made it a bit bigger by using 3M slapper Tape. The rear is a little stiff but should be loosening up with a couple more rides. This is what Deviate say anyways and it makes sense.

The chain has 124links as the 126 was too long. I have to dial in the B-Screw all the way though.

It's a really quiet bike. The only thing you can hear is the EXT and YES! it's the ultimate downhill enduro bike. So much more planted than my Megatower. Then again, it might be the shock.
