Heavy and slow climbing but its ability to involve and absorb you in a ride is simply unsurpassed. Buy if you want every ride to be as rowdy and memorable as a mountain bike stag party
Updated geometry and suspension are superb for full-gas, full-involvement fun
Fantastically bombproof, UK built, UK optimised frame
Impressively cost-effective, custom upgradeable kit package.
