After spending 10years away from mtbing, and riding nothing but hard-tails (suspension was to expensive) i learnt the hard way when you got it wrong. I recently decided it was about time to get back on a bike, I bought a stinky air and my boyhood dreams of owning a proper dh bike are fulfilled and love it, but I have started riding with a bunch of people who are more about cross country/all mountain, so i bought a secondhand trance so i could climb and keep up with them! I went out on it sunday and did my local trails and came back with the biggest smile on my face, the shorter travel was a lot more responsive and i knew what was underneath me and in some sections made me pick my lines a lot more carefully, which to me is all part of the fun of riding. needless to say the kona is now up for sale, and i think a reign would be perfect(even a little over kill) for most trails in the uk.
