I've got a Scandal 29er, which i love but i'm after something new for the summer & the new Lurcher looks the biz, but i'm a bit confused by what its for.
As i understand it the Scandal is a 'general cross country & race bike', the new Lurcher is an 'all-round trail-tough, yet carbon-lightweight 29er' but has exactly the same geometry as the scandal?
Then there's the new PX Dirty Harry which is a 'scorching fast
high-performance 29er' but the head angle on that is a dgree slacker than the On-Ones?
I've been lead to believe that slacker head angles were for more trail orientated bikes, but it seems to be the other way round from what P-X/O-O are saying?
Dirty Harry is listed "static"
Inbred's, Scandals and Lurchers are listed as "sagged".
I will redo all the geometry at some point, hopefully this week, to give consistent figures.
I have done it for the new 456Evo and nearly went blind/crazy in the process so fancy a rest.

Oh - as to our "trail" bike having the same "geometry" as our "race" bike - yeah - I can see what you mean there, but it's more about material than just geometry. And the slackset lets you kick things about a bit.
Ta dude, lurcher it is then. Plus i like the Lurcher colour schemes better anyway, which is the most imoprtant bit 😉
