Seeing as a couple of people asked how it rides the other day...
First thing I noticed was that I felt higher up than usual. Don't know whether I was or not, just felt like it.
Second thing was how well it climbs. Some of the hills just disappeared as if they weren't there.
Third is the way the frame laughs in the face of mud. It was a properly filthy ride - axle deep in places, but no matter what it was plugged through, I never had any issues with the filth. There is so much clearance on the back end that any mud just falls straight through. It's really nice not to have the big ball of clay clogging up the front mech for a change.
Fourth. It likes going fast and really attacking the trails. It's really quite competent at low speeds, but really comes alive once you crank it up a bit
All in all, really happy with it 😀
ahhh - it's that new bike feeling...
