I'm pretty excited waiting for mine to turn up. I was very lucky to get hold of one in small in Australia. I think the only concerning part about the whole package is what happens to the internal cable routing in a crash when the bars spin 180.
There should be enough slack to cope with a full ‘wreck wrap’
Great review
Can’t wait take one for a demo in New Zealand. The 140 mullet will probably be my next trail/allrounder bike
Should have the 140 for test next month
how did you like it? I bought one here in NZ, the bike is absolutely fantastic, rides so darn good
Wanted a bit more travel 🧳 (trying to keep up with my kids lol) I will probably get the 160fr
Nice looking bike, but the headset cable routing is always a deal breaker.
Sounds a really interesting bike ,can I ask in your opinion can the back end of bike cope with hard core bike park jumps.
Yes, I properly slammed and cased it on some stuff during other testing sessions and the flex stay set up didn’t do anything weird. It’ll take a coil too if you want
What’s it like for rolling as sometimes I like nothing more than just hitting canals when not on trails. Currently still running my 7-900 but noticing more n more gnarly trails I hit it’s struggling.
DD tyres and a sticky one on the front means it’s not an easy roller TBH. Nothing to stop you getting a cheap set of spare wheel with faster tyres for mellow days. Certainly cheaper than getting two bikes!
How's the headset? Is it creaking?
