I like it a lot so far. I was wondering how easy to manual it compared to Dartmoor Hornet (2017). Well, it was so much easier to bring the nose up. In fact, it was so easy that I looped out and landed on my back on my first try..... I think this will be a great bike for manual practice.
15% Off the Last of the Next Gen frames Sherpa, Slackline and still 20% off the regular Switchback from Taiwan and Stanton components as well, before the switch to full UK painting in house. Tbh if you see their instagram there is a Slackline with new in house finish and it lacks the graphics on the seat tube and...i dont think it looks as good.
I bought my Sherpa end of 2016 and riding it since early 2017.
Started of with a semi-plus bike (2.6 @ 27.5):
Some stairs in our Netherland dunes
As the Rocket Ron's are not really robust for rocky terrain I build myself a 29" wheelset and put a set of Nobby Nic on them. 2.25 in the rear and the new 2.35 Addix Spreedgrip in the front. We will go to the Belgium Ardennes (Francorchamps) to ride a 65 km / 1500 hm trail end of next week

Anyone have a mk2 now that had a mk1. Also anyone go from a 16.5 to 16.5 long? Looking for any feedback. Thanks
Yes on both, I have a 16.5 reg steel mk1 and a 16.5 long ti mk2. I 5'9" with longer upper torso, The long is quite a bit more stable and climbs a bit better, the old steel mk1 ,the 16.5 regular is fun, you have to ride it hot and be pegging it at all times or it feels a bit clunky the shorter reach can make it feel more flickable, but i have to be in beast mode to enjoy the mk1, the Ti mk2 long is forgiving and much more versatile for me. Amaizing bike it is. I ride them both quite a bit, tre to ride the mk1 on week days and the mk2 on weekend epics .
