what is wrong with it? room for a good dropper, no yoke or trunnion, decent geo, great pricing vs most of the junk these days...looks like the ripmo AF everybody shat their pants over last 3 years, now we hate dvo? cmon guys. and on a budget! is it the suspension brand? maybe cause no motor... ton better than that rossi ski company junk we seen yesterday. this is a great entry level real bike.

all that and TRUNION?! looks like some road bike bullcrap.

Is there some way this app can emit and slather rasberry/huckleberry perfume all over the rider while navigating? The smell is so delightful when visiting the mountains. I enjoy huckleberry body balm, rasberry shampoo, and a fine romp through yonder woods amongst the grizzlies. Occasionally I will stop for lunch and munch salmon caviar whilst checking my battery status and updated trail map. I do get lost in the kom data and specifics about go left/ or go right, but picture taking rapture and mountain revelry is my feed focus these days.

What makes it mine is the knowledge of parts gone to the point I can't in good conscience sell it to someone else. Frayed stretched cable end, burnt rear tire with a plug, wiggle at the shock bushing, re trued hop wheel that should be tossed. Deferred maintenance I am ok riding, knowing it will definetly make a few more routine laps. It will kick into the gear clean if I just hit the shifter right ( while backed off pedal pounding) No point tryin to rebuild the clutch, straighten the cage or rebuild the wheel, they all dumpster bound in next 500 miles. That rough bearing, cracked seat rail, trash water bottle cage, a few stripped bolts, motor oil in the lowers thin pads...Box full of stuff ready for the day I skip riding to swap out toasted parts...powdered sealant in the tire, stripped spoke etc. That drive train need a new cassette, new chain, new chainring but f++k it! Wont even let others try it cause they just don't know that ceramic piston has a crack up front. Excellent for thieves to learn on though.

I ordered a nukeproof mega on sale. So cheap I went with it rather than the hardtail I planned. A fine bike, rode very well in extremely rough terrain, full deore, yari, super deluxe, alloy frame 2400 shipped. The michelin tires super knobbies and sun ringle wheels with cassette weighed close to as much as a high end xc hardtail it seemed. A bear to get uphill with. They shipped it very fast in the largest box I have ever seen. 8 feet long 5 feet tall. Across the atlantic. No way they could make money doin that. The guy I sold it to loves it. I kind of miss it, till I head uphill, then not so much. Had to be close to 40lbs, and the yari was like riding a jackhammer.

Some trivia from my local area, that may not apply to all areas. The term "gaper" is rooted in 2 different sources as well as a third generally unspoken but not in this case description. With added detail for modern situations. A gaper is someone who stares in awe at the surrounding mountains and beauty (likely while standing in the landing zone of a natural jump type feature) hence Gapeing in awe. A gaper is a person who gas a "gap" betwixt their goggles and hat (or these days helmet)creating an interesting sun burn/tan above the racoon eyes Lastly a gaper is a person who uses or owns(!) skis...with rental adjustable bindings. Creating an opportunity to slide that binding a "gap" back for those who are disrespectful and rude to any staff who serves them, resulting in general hilarity at the top of the gondola as the boot just barely fits, but releases on the first and every subsequent turn. Adjusting One ski only is standard. In a mountain biking specific context, a gaper could be described as someone in full body armour, drinking energy drinks, and riding mild terrain on a downhill class 5 rated bike. (With a coil, dragging brakes and burnt tires cause it is a rental) In a road bike context, anyone in a leotard riding to a coffee shop on a 10k dollar bike. After damanding transport to a distance ride by hotel shuttle. ( and a pick up) In a restaraunt context, a gaper is a plaid shirt wearing long bearded person serving 14 dolla beers and 30buck burgers/fries extra/ in a garage styled location with visible brewing equipment. Frequent iphone checking and giveaway infow to all clowns seated for best stashes and hidden trails...that have been heard about but never tested in person.

"Reach in that bag and grab my fannypack." "Which one is it?" "The one that says badmuthafucka on it."

1 derailleur. It was 10 miles out. Had to bail to the river/highway, literally attacked by angry homeowner dogs, (on public right o way) and hitchhike home. One big drawback to full suspension. Break the chain, pull derailleur, rebuild single speed to get out... but suspension needs changing chain size. Chucked the chain and foot paddled the mostly downhill after 2 attempts.

Looks like road biker bullcrap.
