Something about this just looks 'right' to me, and I've got one of those itches that might need to be scratched!
Has anyone got one/ridden one? Feedback, thoughts etc. TIA.
tried one.
its very low. i wouldn't be able to ride it normally.
A mates had one a couple of weeks, and loves it.
I've swung a leg over one on a shop floor and its really really really really tempting as a move away from my 2017 Enduro.
Would love to demo one, like to know how it would handle less gnar rides such as a trail centre with some offpiste and some fire road climbs back up for example.
Pearce cycles in Ludlow have one as a demo bike. I’m hoping to get out on it at some point soon.

Yep, same here. Thinking of something for weekends away, BPW, trail centre stuff, and local gnar. So, not just and endoooro shredsled, hence wondering about one of these in the real world.
In the same boat, I reckon that is a really sorted looking bit of kit, just looks very very right.
I've got one due to arrive imminently. 275 S3 - I'm 5'9" and went for it after a test ride. I'll be long shocking it to up travel to 163mm and putting my 170mm 36 up front, so BB height will end up at 338, so still bloody low.
As soon as it's built up (moving all my bits from current bike over), will put some pics up.
In standard form, the S3 I tested was very, very fast. Needs some getting used to, especially around weighting the front wheel.....
I asked *another mag* about How it was as a trail bike not just gnarr and they reckoned in its steep setting it "felt good".
You don't really need to wonder too much CFH, seeing as how this is pretty much just you doing product placement for Specialized
Saw the 650b one in the flesh at the bike shop today.
It’s lowwwwww
Tempted to part ex my Stage5!
Ive been riding the standard 29" stumpy '19 in alloy and im really really lov8ng it now after sorting out the settings.
Like andybrad says though.. even my 29" standard long travel model is low. I get quite alot of pedal strikes compared to what im used to.
Having seen one in the flesh, I felt it looked a bit ugly from the other side IMO. No idea why that support needs to overlap the shock, they could have found a much more elegant solution I’m sure.
