| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Strengths: | Geometry - perfect for jumping, dropping, razzing around. The travel - 7 inches when you need it, but feels like less when you don't It weighs 40lbs stock but pedals really well, probably due to the High Rollers fitted as standard. Ultra Short seat tube and short chain stays |
| Weaknesses: | Stock cranks - Truvativ ruktion - useless, commencal bars - heavy. Seat in its lowest position buzzes the rear tyre on full compression 66 RCV stock fork takes big single knocks well but not so clever on repeated hits. Lack of compression adjust Roco R shock has rebound only |
| Similar Products Tried: | VP free, Blur 4x, Cannondale Prophet (super heavy freeride guise) |
| Bike Setup: | Mostly stock - Ruktion cranks broke replacing with Saints Commencal Chain guide replaced with E13 RPM Orange LG1 because I want to. Commencal bars too heavy replaced with Husslefelt |
| Bottom Line: | This ride is great. All down to the angles. Tagged as Cedric's slopestyle bike, but really a pure pratting around in the woods bike. After so much VPP action, Single Pivot is the way to go. More like a Bottle rocket or Intense SS than a VP free. So much snap, crackle and pop. |
