If so what does it ride like ?

Even the rep at the nukeproof demo said he couldn't to more than 40 mins on normal trails as the rear end was so stiff & beat him up

Total tosh, I've got one and I'm 56, its fine. Sure it's stiff but then most hardtails I've had have been the same. Not my first choice for all day rocky epics but great for the woods and trail centres. 40mins !!! perhaps the nukeproof rep should ride some more 😀

Yup fine for most riding like any hardtail. But if much of your riding is long rides on rocky tracks perhaps it wouldn't be the best choice IMHO.

Are you going to run it 29 or 27.5+? If it's the latter how stiff the frame is should matter less?
