We suspect that this new aluminium front triangle is a refinement on the setup Matt was running last year with some extra room up front and geometry that's specifically designed to accommodate a mullet set up.

A great-performing, top-value bike with a World Cup-winning heritage that dominates how it rides
Stable and forgiving ride
Suspension works well over small, medium and large hits
Coil fork is harder to set up than the air alternative
Front end feels a bit low
