High Above Launches the Venture 3D Hip Pack
It feels strange to write a passionate review about a hip pack but these fucking things rule. These are expensive yes, but in the 5 years I've had my high above hip pack I have not managed to damage it between crashes, bike park abuse and general MTB style neglect. I hit it with the hose when washing by bike and it comes out sweet. I have a pack with the fidlock bottle attachment option and I can honestly say i prefer it to most in frame options as its easier to get the bottle. The jacket-stash loops are also pretty handy.
I got it around the time I committed to buying fewer, better things and can wholeheartedly recommend as this is a small company who actually give a shit about their product.

Revel Bikes Returns Under Original Ownership
@TheR: Excuse me please take down these valid and differentiated opinions. This is Pinkbike. We hate the way things are and we cant stand a change. Thank you.

Review: The 155mm Revel Rail 29 Wants More Uphill
@Svinyard: what you want is a canfield with a coil - *slightly* longer/more aggro geo - but not crazy with shorter stays retained, a little burlier in alloy and coil seems to suit this platform really well, adding a degree of stability and CBF being naturally supportive with a tendency to ride higher in the travel.
Source: my 2020 balance does literally all the things you've mentioned and is super pedally for a alloy/coil/170mm bike. Its like a slightly more poppy alloy nomad.
The no bottle mounts in the triangle may annoy you, as it did me at first but I find a small hip pack with a bottle and windbreaker does really well (the highabove one with the fid lock bottle is suuuper convenient, if a little spendy)

Review: 2022 Specialized Status 140 - The Slope-Duro-Cross Weapon
@nurseben: I'd second this for anyone looking for these characteristics but also prioritizing the ability to pedal everywhere with the shock wide open. In that case the CBF is worth the $. I suppose the same can be said for most name-dropy suspension designs.
Full disclosure - I own a Canfield Balance as my only suspension bike and its absolutely stupid how versatile that 170mm alloy coil sprung mini-tank is...

Or I'll just pedal my long travel CBF bike around for no extra costs and the same (rear shock) benefits...

My very alloy, very burly, coil shocked Canfield is lighter than this thing...
