I currently ride a Sugar 2+ having been passed down many a dope piece of componentry as well as the stock complete bike after my fully custom scout fell prey to a thief. She’s pretty dope and rips with all the newest slackest bikes out there
This was my first mountain bike, I picked it up for $600 in August 2019. In January I got a StumpJumper but kept the HiFi around and have slowly been upgrading it. I ride it from time to time, the higher bottom bracket let me put 175mm cranks on, and it gets through most rock gardens with ease.
Upgrades/Repairs:
-Converted to a SRAM 1x11 NX drivetrain (GX crank) -Sent the rear shock off to Fox for a rebuild -Installed dropper post -Installed 780mm bars -Re-laced entire rear wheel with new spokes because the old ones were popping left and right
Future Upgrades/repairs: -Moving the SLX brakes from my Stumpy to this bike -New headset bearings -looking for a better externally routed dropper post.
