Talk to me about this please, im at a 2 year high now so time for a frame change. I will say ive been looking at the alloy Bronson, Alpine 6 and Five (both 2020) and the Patrol which is winning like mad at the moment, again alloy)
Firstly the blue is stunning , the long low and slack is again in keeping with the G160 frame. Boost with clearance for 2.8 ..check
Tell me why I shouldn't
It's heavier than the old one, it pedal strikes a fair bit.
Still love mine though!
I seem to have forgotten how to post images 🙁

I'd throw in that if your an XL rider how about the Sentinel? I'm convinced us lanky ones are more at home on big wheels.
I did have a Alpine 5 (29) which was fast pointed down but lacked the ability to turn, felt like a bus when it wasnt pointed down
Because the Bird Aeris 145LT is better value.
I had a 2016 one, great downhill but not that great pedalling wise and heavy.
