Does this stunning-looking Spanish hardtail deliver on its downcountry promise, or do confused spec, backward geometry and niche frame features choke it’s obvious potential? Guy Kesteven finds out…
Gorgeous looking, sweet flowing, lightweight trail frame
Top spec lightweight XC trail fork
UDH rear hanger
Backward rather than Forward Geometry
Inset Fidlock mounts limit seatpost stroke
Heavy wheels and cassette
Crowded lockout and dropper controls
Harsh, flat bars don’t fit the DC vibe
Expensive component mix
