U are right about the saddle. It was the most fiting saddle colourways. But luckily it is extremely comfortable. A red stem and a ti handlebar are on the way and then it's totally finish.
New custom X3...I rode my previous X2 for over 2.5k miles and absolutely loved it, but the benefits of a 29, made me swap for this one...has a few custom details but mainly a bit slacker HA of 64.5, and A2C adjusted to the 150 Lyrik. From the few rides I’ve had already, it’s clearly faster, more planted and stable without losing the agility the 650B had. Originally I was waiting for black forks but delay after delay (and more) made me go red...which I quite like now! And these forks are incredible to be fair! The ability to use a 213 dropper is awesome and as usual the KINGDOM customer service is the best you can get.
Looks good. How tall are you? I'm 6ft1/33 inseam looking at the large X3
I'm also a tad nervous due to lack of professional reviews etc
The bike and the customer service you get from Kingdom are awesome. It’s a very capable HT. There is an enduro-Mtb review of the older Vendetta (which these are based and improved upon). I’ve had the 27.5 X2 previously for a couple of years before going for the X3 (mine is custom for 150 forks) which made it even smoother on 29 but still very playful. I’m just under 6ft. It depends how you want the bike to feel I guess and bar/stem combo but L would fit you I’m sure. If you want to pop over to Sheffield, you can sit on mine.
Absolutely over the moon with my new bike build! I built my parts across to a Vendetta XFS with coil front and rear. She turned out to be pretty hefty, but the ride is just sublime.

Shameless plug but if anyone fancies a stunning XFS (just look at the posts above) in size L, i'm selling one for a real bargain on the BuySell section. Some of the parts like forks, wheel and dropper are as new (20 miles if that) Thanks
