Decided to hot rod this one for my son to XC race. Too long a wait for anything new and I would have upgraded most of this on another bike anyway.
The only weird thing was the stock brakes were supposed to be mechanical, they ended up being the hydro brakes from the Expert of the same year.
Here is the rig rundown:
[ ] Manitou Markhor fork,
[ ] Hope 3 X2 brakes,
[ ] A complete SRAM Eagle GX 1x12 drivetrain,
[ ] PNW Dropper w/ WTB Silverado saddle,
[ ] Stans Arch Mk3 Rims with DT Swiss 350 hubs 54t star ratchet,
[ ] Maxxis tubeless tires- Ardent Race 2.2 in the front and Ikon 2.2 out back.
Now he's ready for some XC racing!
I know they've updated the geometry on the current generation DP, but this one feels nice and performs well on the trails. Who else has built one of these up?
