Just does EVERYTHING!
Poppy/ fun/ climbs like a mule/ so much confidence descending.
So chuffed that i went and bought one.
(Same colour as my Singular Swift so hopefully the mrs won't notice a new bike in the stable).
Also, everybody says it but Dan was so helpful and knowledgeable.
How many other companies can you just walk into and discuss the bike with the actual designer?
Test rode many other full sus around the same travel but this just shone through.
Chuffed to bits.

It is true, I'm sure I was there...
Photos when it's built; of course with a Swinley backdrop.
On the subject of Swinley, Red 3 section my new fave.

Medium (I'm 5'7" on a good day) Medium/ large felt a bit unwieldy for me when trying to have fun on it.
Medium/ large might be good for my size if I was racing/ but for fun/ poppiness, medium.

XT, hope headset, the new Hope 35 wheel set, Pike RT
Don't need lock out shocks on this

A very wise choice OP. They are absolutely superb bikes.

Downshift; a few sections have been moved around since I was last there.
Couldn't do 'Tank Traps' maybe forestry work going on.
Red 3 is just muddy, rooty, slippery, twisty and turny; my kind of thing.
I stayed mainly on the old Crowthorne side/ Corkscrew area which is riding very well.
