Why bother riding off road without a hard tail
It fucking owns
Most fun I’ve had on a bike in soooo long
Went up to Epping with a friend, as they were under biked we took turns on the cotic doing the fun little down hill section from the tea hut
I’ve done this before on a single speed and the homer, every time I had to get off as I thought I couldn’t do it. On this? It felt… mundane?? Wanted to hit it faster and faster, riding the trail to the road was insane??? It’s SO MUCH FASTER and brings so much confidence.
We then road some light trail down the hill to the station (the route @BareNecessities used the other week funnily enough) night and day, I was flying down, all the features which I struggled with before I just brrrrrrpppppd over.
I love it
The dropper????!!?? Exceptional, could get so far back and really throw the bike into turns, so much confidence over step downs
I love it
