I've been lucky enough to spend about 60 km on one and I was very impressed. Felt like a nimble Dh bike that is surprisingly easy to pedal. The only place I didn't enjoy the bike was tight switchback climbs.
Hit a 30x20 ft step down and used about 80% of the bikes travel at my normal sag settings (15% front, 30% rear). Rode techy xc and it felt as good as my trek remedy there.. However when pointed down some good sustained Dh singletrack this bike flys! Could very well be the bike that converts me from trek.

Wow great, thanks mate!

Did you take pictures? When is the embargo lifted this Weekend?

Maybe even more details from your rideexperiences? How tall are you and what size did you ride?

Thanks man. Is this like a hidden Story/link? As it is not on the FrontPage.

Wonder if the green is the same sparkling green Oton was riding in the EWS

Didn't take pictures, was told to keep it on the DL as it's a shop owners bike and it wasn't supposed to be out yet.
I am 5'10" and fit a large comfortably. Dropper post slams nice and low.

Can't wait to get mine. Sounds like they don't have much stock until spring 2019. Interesting they put a shorter offset fork on the LTD build.

Yeah I was wondering about this as well... LTD Model looks like the one to go, also due to the codes!

Cant wait to ride one. What size/version did you order and what is your height?

Ya a little risky but hope it works out.

Just sat on a size large on the parking lot. I am only 174cm (5´8.5“) but the large felt quiet good. Especially if I can put a shorter stem on it. Due to the steep seatangle the seating position feels very good. I believe on a medium I would feel to cramped. Plus I was able to slam the dropper all the way in and it was spot on with 150mm droppertravel.

According to the devinci site, I am in the middle of a size medium.... what do you guys think? Am I really that off here?

Rummelx, what size did you get and how tall are you?

Thanks
