Need more reviews of the S150......think I'm going to get a 2018MY one assume they discount them when the MY19 come out! I've had 2 29ers before, last 2 bikes have been 27.5ers, back to a 29er I think
How are you getting on with you s150 I demoed a trek remedy on Tuesday and I found some rocky tech climbs to be tough, I'm thinking now the s150 is going to be the perfect do it all bike for the UK (This is going to be my 1st 29er).

I've only ridden it a few times, i am still getting used to the bigger wheels.
I just got back from a weekend in Tahoe with the bike. It felt great right away, no time needed to get a feel for it. I've swapped out some parts to my liking. I put on Zee brakes, Transfer dropper, Enve high rise DH bars at 790m, Carbon front wheel, (waiting on xd driver for the rear). Swapping out just the front wheel dropped around 220 grams. I suspect a full carbon wheelset will make this bike a much better climber.
This bike is a ripper! I love the geometry with the long reach. I was going off jumps and drops and the bike was super composed. It think I was riding faster than normal because the bike descended so well. I'm very pleased with the purchase. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone.
The steering around tight switchbacks was amazing. I descended down the Sierra Canyon Trail and got faster around the turns as my confidence increased with the bike. https://www.trailforks.com/trails/sierra-canyon-trail/
Tell us what you think after a few rides. mines on the heavy side at 15kg, not the fastetst climber but it descends very very very fast.
Hi there , what is the suspension like ? Does it feel easy to handle ... Im thinking of getting one but Im not sure about the wheel size yet !! cheers ..Don
