140mm Z1 on now from a 160mm 36. Riser bar to compensate for front end height turned the bike into a little ripper slalom 29er bike

rune or titan? i’m debating selling my hd5 for one of these new banshees, or just buying a new phantom altogether. the chainstay length on these frames is super enticing.

It is a Prime size xl

Has been a great frame so far. The longer chainstays are really nice being a taller rider.

This Morph Cycles single pivot is fun. Buttery smooth!

Funny how SC gets all the flak for it's bikes looking super similar and Banshee just be like...

YES! I have a big crush on this bike and am so glad you got one. I spoke with Tom for a couple of weeks and really considered getting one but eventually decided on a highlander instead. How is it to ride? Big fan of supporting these small brands.

I have had 2 other steel full suspensions bikes before this, the full moxie included. The Morph is just so much smoother everywhere. I did not like the Moxie at all in steep terrain. I feel this is a much faster bike, feels long travel but its not. The frame quality is excellent. Got some big tests for it soon but as of now I think its one of my best bikes.

I like small brands too. Tom knows his stuff and his service and follow up is outstanding.

This is great news and I am not surprised at all. Would love to hear more once you’ve given it a real shakedown. Ride safe, have fun and keep us posted!

5 1/2 years and 9200 miles on the nomad
That's impressive... that's about twice as long as I've ever kept a bike.
Thanks, I'm hoping I can eek out 10k miles on it before getting something new. Also weird to think I've had this bike for 1/4 of my life haha.
I sold my Iron Horse 6Point4 last year which I owned for 8 and a half years, same boat as you. Was actually hoping to build it into a more modern Enduro machine as it actually felt comfy for all day rides given its weight, felt proper planted through all the rough stuff and did anything I could’ve asked for it. Still a year later I often think back on what could’ve been done had I kept it and had a whopping budget to spend on it.
