I’d love me a privateer. Didn’t realise only the S1 was 27.5 when I was considering a 161. Such a nice bike for the bucks.

Yes only big wheels on the larger sizes which doesn't suit everyone.

Also a mullet link is in the works apparently.

Value is top notch along with their service.

Looks awesome !

Interested to see what you think of your tyre choice after you have had a few rides on them. Especially the Force AM as a rear.

I love the lines of the thing. I love how the line of the seat stay lines up with the top tube. And nice build dude.

Looks awesome @Wake Jake

Didnt bring across the coil from the Prime? Does the privateer play nice with coil or just air?

I just started using the Force AM on the rear. Not enough km’s for a review yet bit seems to compare well in terms of traction to the Wild Enduro rear but doesn’t roll as well as i hoped.

Different shock size so dirtdad picked it up for his Prime as he stated.

Yes found that a bit too. I put it to the softer compound. I'm still more than happy with their performance.

Frenchman should be along shortly to berate you for your choice of wheels (despite them being related companies).
Huh? When did he berate them? From what I remember he just said they were a catalogue wheel company (like most are) and anyone who believed otherwise might be taking too many hits from the marketing cool aid.

Anyway, great looking bike @Wake Jake - Beta just did a review of one and the froth is strong.

I don't know what you're waiting for seems like the S1 Privateers are about your size?
S1 - 161 is 445 reach, about 18mm longer than a medium V2 Rune, 10mm shorter than a large (same as a V3 medium).

Only issue is the really steep seat tube makes for a very short top tube length...
