Review: The Quarry Rage Bait 32" Hardtail
So, I actually just built a 32 Quarry that Jim and I had worked together on, it’s basically a slightly toned down Rage Bait. If you’re like me and prefer technical XC style riding (Pisgah more than park) this bike rips. The amount of traction on hand is absurd. I was lucky to pluck some Forekasters which are of course much grippier than the semi slicks on review here. Tall stack, yes. Traction, yes (and understated in the review IMO) Fun? On fast trails with a lot of corners, it’s definitely faster. As trails tighten up, maybe a wash? As expected, yeah it’s not as nimble but you have to lean it a lot more than you’re used to… overall a fair review but I encourage everyone to try one. Not taking the place of my dedicated XC OR my F/S trail bike but that wasn’t the intention.

@NateTrailBlazer: No, like a Spearfish. But fair, you're right! I thought the top fuel was 140 travel now, looks like I missed a model year...
