The frame was an impuls purchase of FB and I couldn't be happier with the ride. Really fun, great climbing and super fun down hill. Really easy to move around when decending and poping off things. The Bird was great but a mini enduro bike this is a playful trail bike. Parts are a real mixed bag. I've realised that Im not very sophisticated with suspension so no point wasting fancy stuff on me. I do need a very strong rear wheel and brakes!

I'd ask you how 115mm rear travel goes down Rocksanne but I know that feeling all too well.

Strong rear wheel indeed...
Smoother than the hardtail :p.

Honestly haven't noticed the lack of travel going down but I have noticed how tight it feels going up. No pedal bob or wallow even when standing and mashing.

Also this is a new one at Majura called 'short memory' I think. Good fun nice and fast with plenty of rocks :D
