I swapped the parts over from my Patrol and am still running the 170mm fork, w/ 150mm stroke reduced rear. I asked Transition about it and they said it just affects geo a bit, but no warrantee issues. I personally love it.
Only ~60 miles on the frame swap but loving this bike so far. Compared to the Stumpjumper Evo it replaced it’s way more snappy and supportive when pushing into it. The 10mm shorter chainstays and 20mm less rear travel with way more ramp up make it ride like a different animal. Much more suited to my riding style than the long vague rear of the Stumpy.
does anyone have a Super Deluxe Ultimate 2023 on his Scout? if yes, experiencs with it? Does it need a custom tune?
Thanks!
I've got one arriving in a couple days, just in time for 4 days of riding in Maine next week. I'll report back afterwards.
I'm hoping it won't need a custom tune, but on the previous-gen Super Deluxe w/ MegNeg I'm running right now it benefitted from lowering the compression tune from L to L1. With the L tune, I was running the LSC fully open. With the L1 I'm able to run it 2-3 clicks more open.
had a short spin on it, does not ride like the numbers suggest, it just wants to get air and it's so easy to throw around I did not expect this at all, love it a lot
Any V3 owners running a 62.5 stroke? Have you noticed a difference in the pedaling characteristics or any other changes in the ride quality?
I’ve been running 62.5 stroke for a 150/150 and haven’t noticed any reduced pedal efficiency. I didn’t like how the fox shock ramped up super fast at 140 and felt like I was getting bounced around. Longer stroke let me lose a little air and feels a little more planted.

Running a 62.5mm stroke Float X2 and the bike still pedals great. Left the front end at 150mm as well, I didn’t want to slack the front end out more than the 64° it already has.
