Have been craving a 29er hardtail for cycle path, gravel, fire road sort of duty. I went n=1 a few years ago with a carbon Transition patrol, but feel I actually need something else as well
Just seen GoOutdoors currently have 20% off everything, and whilst looking at the Calibre range came across the Line 29
I really like the look of the bike, it is exactly what Ive pictured in my mind (plus it’s boost spacing and incs a dropper)
But has anyone actually ridden one?
Is 15kg too heavy? I’m no lightweight at 95kg so doubt it really matters to start with
With discount it’s currently £720

Honzo is a bit more & big honzo is even cheaper , tho maybe a bit more aggressive for they type of riding you're describing

I don't quite get how they've managed to make it that heavy tbh, I'm wondering if it's a typo.

I’m going with a typo as that makes it only 1.3 kilos less than my Sentry Pro...

They do have some new models being announced/released in the next few weeks according to social media.

I think it’s a great buy now but wondering if the price may drop a little further...

For the price that looks like a decent spec and the bike looks nice. Especially with that 20% off code on the page (off the £899 full price they’re charging).

I do wonder if it’s actually that heavy - nothing on it sounds massively heavy - Unless perhaps the / bb and wheels are bumping it up.
