your gona be stoked you have this when you come to cal poly hopefully ill have my trail bike by then, most the trails here are way more fun on the trail bikes and you can do like sick 30 mile laps and hit like 5 trails in a few hours but dont get me wrong theres a few trails youll be glad you got a demo haha

hahah dude im as comfortable on this bike as i am on the demo. its an amazing bike. it literally rides like a super light DH bike. It pedals like a hardtail but i dont even need to use pro-pedal or lockout

yah thats bad ass it set you back alot? im looking into Enduro's you coming out to the specialized demo day saturday

thegb1212 (Feb 5, 2012 at 13:20)

I got a great deal on it. I was looking at enduros but I found that they don't pedal as well. Plus the devinci was much cheaper.

JordanSmith127 (Feb 5, 2012 at 13:32)

yah the enduros i think got 160mm travel so im just they do pedal a lil worse there more on the DH side than this

thegb1212 (Feb 5, 2012 at 13:35)

its not that. the fsr design does not pedal as well as the split pivot

smexy, hows that split pivot feel?

thegb1212 (Feb 2, 2012 at 21:33)

wouldn't you know, pretty close to a trek haha. its really solid. pedals really well, low leverage ratio, all the good stuff. im pretty impressed with the dropout configuration and the geo adjust, so simple.

thegb1212 (Feb 2, 2012 at 21:35)

The HA also feels way slacker than the claimed 67º, but that's better for me anyways

Yea, i think split pivot and DW are some of the best platforms for suspension right now. Especially the new Ibis Ripley - eccentrics are the future for bike suspension IMO.
