What are you saying?

If this is your first full suspension I advise highly against a big travel bike.

The Meta TR would be a better choice.

if I see a picture I can make a decision ...

this is what I have been asking for a week in the forum


nobody did picture for me

Hey Sagat, I can't help you with a picture because I'm only size 10,5 US, but even at that size I have had my feet get tangled up with the rear triangle more then once, it happened more at first, almost never happens nowdays. If you ride with heels in, you might have some trouble getting used to it, if you ride with your feet straight then no problem. If u have a lot of rub marks on your current frame then you probably will have plenty of contact.

Besides that its a great bike, hope you get yours soon

I'm size10 and only catch my heal on the left side. At size 13 I'd think it would be an issue

I fitted my existing Lyrik forks to my new AM V4.2 frame and find that the fork is now way too soft and needs more psi adding. Previous frame the forks felt almost too firm. Anyone else experienced this? Ideas why? Slacker head angle = more bodyweight on bars?

You’re probably right , could try a short stem and move the seat back ! I would just add more air and stop worrying !

Yep more air it is. I'm already on a 50mm stem

Currently unable to post a photo of the slight rub marks on my frame. I have a size XL MetaAM V4 (2015) I wear Size 12 US 5.10 freeriders and Size 13 Teva pivots and like a few other members on here I had heel rub issues on the drive side of the bike for the first couple weeks of riding but nothing major and now I don't have any issues with my heels contacting the chainstays on the bike.

I tried to explain to Sagat that photos of other rider's feet aren't going to help, as we all naturally have a different stance. I ride both clipped and flats on my v4. At first I caught my heel more regularly, so I adapted slightly. I now almost never clip the stay, regardless of which pedals/shoes I'm running. However, someone with more of a duck stance is likely to have more problems.
