Bird Aeris is a fantastic bike, IMO, might even be getting one myself later this year. I test rode on at Swinley. It was great on the easy on-piste trails, pedalled very well on the flat (some mile muncher XC rat on a carbon 29er hardtail zoomed past me doing his Strava thing, "Excuse me please!" he bellowed, rocketing past. I had immense fun hanging on his tail until the labyrinth. He wasn't happy) and on the mini-downhill runs on the labyrinth as well as the old off-piste ragged downhills it fucking loved it.
Go book a test ride with the Bird guys and see for yourself. I think it's always important to test ride a bike before you buy as one person's dream machine can be another's mutt.

Has anyone ridden a bird aeris, I'm thinking of buying one in a couple of months, either that or a heckler.
