    When I was in the market for a full suspension a little over two years ago, the only 29ers they had in the US lineup were XC rockets. Now they have 3 that cover the trail/Enduro gamut.

    Yup. Nate was on one of those when we rode last Sunday, and two others passed us at the top of Emerald Canyon. It was a Canyon Spectral love fest.

    On the new 29er or the older 27.5 version? I'd love to see one in person...

    Hmmmm - paging @DangerDirtyD - I think Nate was on a little-wheeled version. Not sure about the two others.

    Nate is on a 2019 27.5”. I figured he’d like to read the article because it compares the two.

    That is the other bike that has caught my eye lately... Damn Germans. :p

    Although... I'm getting tired of the maintenance on the Hightower. I need a fully rigid steel single-speed with bombproof wheels.

    Pipedream in hot pink? Honzo ESD? :inlove:

    then you’ll just exchange pivot maintenance with wheel maintenance. :facepalm:

    Yeah... The aggressive hardtail list gets a lot shorter when you need moving dropouts. Pipedream Moxie and Kona ESD are still at the top, but new wheels need to happen first.

    The reviewer is 155 pounds. He probably will not feel any flex at the headtube/toptube/downtube junction. I am surprised he has over 20psi in the tires. When I was a freshman in high school I probably had the same psi in my tires.

    Interesting bike. :thumbsup:Beautiful. Can not see how that is a trail bike. That swing arm looks to be a great mud collector for it's already hefty weight. I like how the designer is thinking outside the box. That however is no adventure bike...

    My nephew just picked one of these up. He's a 23 year old super fit, competitive rock climber and his prior/other bike was the 35 lb aluminum YT Capra with coils front & rear so this bike probably feels that a feather to him.
