Ride Report

Hey mate,
I have only ridden it at my local trails Tuggers Pines with Jumps and Berms and a little technical sections. She jumps well, pedals so well, so easy to get speed. she corners well. The more I ride, the more confident and the better i feel at riding the bike. I have ridden her up a fire road uphill and she pedals well, i'll have to wait till i ride Stromlo to the top I will have a better idea. All up I'm stoked on the bike!

Man, that's amazing. Looks pretty burly, have you weighed it? I'm in the market for a new AM rig, looking for something unique. This is certainly unique! Stunning.

Looks awesome - I still cry a little every time I think of my The One frame. Had I bought it five years earlier when when riding was a little more dh and a little less trail it would have been perfect.

Huge props to Crankin as well. I got my frame direct from Canfield and they were awesome. The crankin pricing is right on the money and it seems their support for buyers is in line with Canfield's approach.
