Additional Info

Weight without pedals with Nobby Nics. This bike saves alot of maintenance on the full-suss bikes during our long shoulder seasons of muck and snow. We have had extremely icy winter seasons for the last few years so this is a blast when everything is spackled over with sheets of ice and I am tired of the numbness of the Fat bike. When time is short, the conditions are less than prime, and I am sick of my same old local trails, this thing always spices it up. Hitting jumps and cleaning difficult lines feel extra-special on this with that added bonus of all the additional horsepower on tap when things point upward. Plus tires aren't dead and are tons of fun in the right places. Going only slightly slower on what is truly is a budget build with no rear suspension provides some sense of reward.
