Ok well first of this is my first full suspension and my first bike with disc brakes. I've NEVER ridden a full suspension bike more then 10' so I'm a bit in shock.
Ok well after toying with the bike all weekend and taking it to the shop and paying 35$'s to have the headset put in I finally got to ride the bike.
Yesterday I got out on a few trails, the weather hasn't been great so I was a bit limited due to trail condition.
Well I was truly amazed.....
I couldn't believe the feeling when you launch and the landing is UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!
There is very limited bob with the rear FOX. My fat butt bottomed the rear shock out trying to slam the bike around a couple of times. i'll have to adjust that. I do kind of wish I had the rear lock out for some occasions which may be an upgrade I make.
The handle bars do need to be cut especially for the NY single track, they'll get hung up on every sapling I pass.
Also I wasn't impressed with the tires MAXXISLARSEN TT UST TUBELESS. They'll be gone soon too.
I love the bike, I'm anxious to get it fully tuned so I can really put it through the ringer.
Hopefully by next week.
*edit* had the rear shock named wrong.
