I have a Rune and it is just amazing on the DH sections but the KS-link really works to help go back up the hills. How does the 27.5" feel different? I want to make the switch sometime (currently on 26"). Does it just roll over stuff a bit better? Does it grip better in the corners?
It's a completely different animal.. It rolls through rocky terrian and rooty sections. It's still playful enough to flick around and jump without any issues. Cornering no problem. I have my setup with the flip chip on the slack angle. I like it.
Dayum! Sweet bike man! Also, how does it ride downhill/freeride trails with big jumps and stuff? Im looking for a new rig that can pedal me around and also shred freeride trails, bikepark and downhill (with a few races). Hesitating between the rune or the darkside, so yeah, how does the rune ride all the downhilly freeride stuuf! Thanks
