Beautiful bike! What travel are you running in the fork and out back? Is this your main trail bike? It's impressive weight considering how much bike is there
Final weight 33lb 7oz, i love it

180 up front, 190 rear. It’s my do everything bike!

Looks good. Have you had a chance to get it out on the trails yet?

Yes, have a few hundred miles on it now. Super poppy, likes big jumps, climbs really well for what it is. It will be sitting around for a while as I broke my arm haha

Nice. Unfortunately I won’t be able to ride until February as I’m waiting for my blue hope cranks. That’s to bad about your, arm at least you have the winter to heal up.

Literally just pricing up this frame - my build will not be as bling as yours tho! Proper nice! Any advice on sizing appreciated. I am 6'2 which puts me bang in the middle of L and XL

Nice build, how are you liking it"? Is that the old SJ trail? If it is did you climb up there?

I’m just shy of 6’2” and had a large tracer and really liked the fit. I personally wouldn’t want it any longer but that’s me, I know lots of people are riding super long bikes these days. I have a harder time controlling a upsized bike.
It transitioned between trail riding and DH beautifully. This bike should come stock with a 170 fork but rides great with a 180.

A lot depends on your frame, long or short torso/legs/arms;

The only disadvantage of XL frame - hard time to fit into bikebag for traveling

Yes, this is about 3/4 of the way up to Cocktail Rock. It climbs better than I expected. I absolutely love it. Very quiet bike!

I'm in the process of testing out the Tracer/Recluse against the Mach 5.5/6.

Does anyone have any experience with Pivot, or Ibis, before pulling the trigger on their Intense? Also, I'm looking to run a DPX2 in the rear, not the X2 for I'm not quite Peter Griffin build but 6'1 and 270.
