Got out for my first ride on my new Scout. Tenquille Lake BC. Coming from a longer travel bike I'm simply amazed at how capable this bike is.
Nice Pic!!
I agree, I think this is the bike I always wanted but no one made it. There were bikes that were close but the geo was not quite there....
Here's mine, i keep getting faster on it, i like it really squishy, i added one band to the shock, might try another but it's riding so well i don't want to upset it ! It's frikkin amazing, jumps better than any bike i've owned, i also own a Capra, the only thing that does better is go downhill. It's Stealth Black, the Pikes have no sag markings, for some reason i've started adding blue to it

My Pikes don't have sag markings either. how'd you get a stealth black frame?

Saving up to Buy a Scout this spring - or sooner if my DH bike sells. Question for you guys - How does the scout handle steep climbs ? My local trails have lots of short but steep climbs and decents. Last ride was a spec Enduro and I'm looking for a better climber with similar geo.

It climbs as good as my Bronson C ever did. It's the best bike ever

I'd say it's quite an aggressive climber , definitely not a plodder

Great Climber, just make sure the sag is on point (33% or 17mm). I was actually running 30% and could tell between 33% and 30%... 33% was better all around and I think with my weight it was like 190psi vs 200psi or a 10psi difference so its somewhat significant.

Yeah, i definitely like it softer than normal, not certain if it is the best bike ever but i'll tag along with that

Good to Hear - I'll post up some pics when i get it
love my scout, 2015 medium, thinking about extending the 140forks to 150, I have 1 spacer in the pike and 5 in the monarch, 5 seems a bit much, and 1 spacer is not quite enough.
how many spacers are people running? anyone tried cutting a pike spacer in half? does 10mm in the fork really make a big difference, since the sag takes a bit of the head angle away?
