Hey, hoping to find a little feedback on sizing the large frame.
Iam 6'3" 225lbs geared up. Currently running a burly xl heckler, Saint,55,dhx coil ect. I like it alot but iam finding iam getting to much brake jack on the steeps, I stay off the brakes as long as possible but would prefer a more active rear end when it gets hairy.
I ride steep all mountain, lots of rocky fast singletrack with steep bluffs, tight corners ect.
Is the large 6.6 for me?
Cheers!

Large 6.6 should work perfectly for you. I'm 6'2" 220 and ride a large 6.6 with Magura Wotan and Roco Air TST with a burly build. I've ridden Santa Cruz Bullitts, Kona Stinky's, Ironhorse 7points and other burly bikes and this bike definitely has a better "trail" feel to it than the others. Much better climber and more agile with more active suspension. All in all its a much better all around bike and I feel comfortable riding XC or blasting DH. It feels a little "flexy" but a bolt on rear hub helps tremendously. The geometry is a little weird (for me) with a long seat tube and short top tube. I would prefer the new trailbike's geometry.
