How far forward and pointed down the seat is in that first photo has me wondering how he felt about the climbing abilities. Looking forward to reading all of the reviews on Tuesday morning!

Also noticed that.
Compared with the previous Mega the seat tube angle is steeper, so less reach for same size bike.
I was wondering if he is testing a larger size?

Note that it does not have the flip chip on the rear wheel. I currently wear a size M with a 50mm stem, I'm 1.77cm tall and I'm at the limit of the size... I think that due to the change in gyrometry, maybe this year I'll have to wear L

It has been mentioned that all new Santa Cruz bikes are coming with the UDH, which eliminates the possibility of a chainstay flip chip. A worthwhile trade off IMO.

Looks like UDH v2 needs inventing, flip chip capable.

That doesn't sound very universal.
I'm a bigger fan of the size specific chainstays and less mating surfaces/things to rattle.

Had my first rip on the V2 last friday. Totally in love, steeper seat tube is noticeably better for steep chunky/tech climbs. Still corners great yet feels more composed than my V1 when things get rowdy.

Nice! Color looks sick. Would you say the SC lettering is more of an orange or peach color in person? Hard to tell from online pics.
