I've never ridden any VPP bikes, but compared to other split pivot/single-pivot frames I've owned, it slays. So stable. Rides like a DH rig. Had a quick ride on the Bronson and it was similar, but the Spitfire feels like it gobbles up the trail better and still manages to feel poppy when you need it. If this thing was carbon and kept the same durability, it would be THE best trail bike.

 Cool man thanks. I pulled the trigger on the 650b Rune this morning, cant wait to get on the dam trail!

 Sick! Once you hit the first corner you won't be disappointed! You can smash corners as hard as you want and it won't miss a beat!

 Awesome. Will be riding all week starting tomorrow from the So. Cal coast all the way up to the new bike park in Big Bear!

 They feel even better together!

 Naw you cray, red grips is where it's at!

 No way! Got general lee adapter in!!! Weeee!!!! Now thinking I may need a blue 32t nw ring from super cool Canadian company.....

 It's. Fucking. Rad.

 It was f*cking awesome?

 I can take a photo tonight, but I'm running the 650b drop outs with 2.25 Maxxis HR2's and there's gobs of clearance.

 Sweet! Yeah. I've been looking at a trail bike that goes down easily but can still climb.. and what you said about this compared to the bronson is exactly what I want!

 Cheers bro!

When you coming back to Canada you deserter?
