FS: Sonder Cortex short travel full suspension mountain bike. SLX model with upgrades. Medium. Final price drop

Sonder Cortex SLX

I’ve had this since May 2022, but have only ridden it during the summer.
It’s a great bike, lots of fun, but most of the time I don’t do the kind of riding that it’s designed for so have switched to something more XC.

This is a link to the current SLX model, I don’t think the spec or frame has changed since I bought mine.

But I did make some changes from the stock model:

• Rear shock upgraded to Cane Creek DBair IL, super plush, loadsa adjustability.
  
• Wheels upgraded from Sonder Nova to Sonder Alpha - lighter, nicer hubs, more productive.
  
• Revelation damper upgraded to the Charger 2.1 RCT3, which I believe means the forks are essentially the same as a pair of Pikes.
  
• Tubeless Set-up
  
  

Everything works great, there are probably a couple of small marks here and there on the frame, but nothing major.

I’ve done about 70 hours of riding on it. The forks have had their first (50 hour / oil change) service. The rear shock is recommended a first service at 100 hours.
The front tubeless set up isn’t perfect, it looses a bit of air overnight, but I just pumped the tyres up to the right pressure before each ride and it was fine.
The tyres are the stock ones it came with, I switched to something more XC after a couple of short rides, so these ones are pretty much new.
I cut the bars down a bit so they are 710 wide.
Crappy plastic pedals in the photos are not included, unless you really really want them.

Any questions / further info needed please ask.
