Hi. How have you got on with the bike?

I love this beast. It’s even better than I imagined. It’s smooth, quiet and just glides around the tight corners on my local trails. I’ve even hit some very steep drops here in the Houston, TX area (yes we do have some steep drops believe it or not) and have had no problems. It’s very very playful , easy to jump, easy to manual and the 120mm front and rear travel is extremely plush. And the head tube angle is plenty slack enough for me. I wish it had the remote sus lockout but my model wasn’t spec’d with the compatible shock and fork. In order to do that I have to either change out the internals of the shock which costs around $500ish+ and completely replace the fork which is another $1,100 I think or replace the shock also. Replacing both comes out to around $2,000 according to my research if I’m remembering correctly. The brakes are surprisingly a lot stronger than I thought they would be and the SRAM GX mechanical groupset has been flaweless so far. I currently have only 227 miles on it. I would have had prob at least 400 miles by now if it wasn't for all these damn storms in the Houston TX area so far this year. Everything on this bike is way easier compared to my old entry level full sus Giant Stance 2 29er aluminum trail bike with 130mm front and 120mm rear. At one of my local hard trails, I would often get so exhausted after just mile 5 I would often almost completely pass out and would see stars and have to take a 5 minute break and drink a lot. Now, with my new bike, I can do the entire 15 miles easily without stopping. Another great thing I’ve noticed is this thing has insane acceleration and speed. My time has increased on all trails by a full 2 minutes faster on most of them. I rides lot of different routes. I am extremely happy with my purchase and hopefully I can get one for my 18 year old son soon if they aren’t all sold out by then.

@doncarroll1070 That's brilliant thank you.

thank you! Hope you're out on the trails writing from the youtube mobile app! 🤙🏻

The 100 mm does.

​@coreymclernon did you get the 100 or the 120? you still enjoying the bike? Was looking into this frame

Yes the 100mm does but not the 120mm sadly. It requires expensive upgrades or replacement with compatible SID components. In order to do that you have to either change out the internals of the shock which costs around $500ish+ and completely replace the fork which is another $1,100 I think or replace the shock also. Replacing both comes out to around $2,000 according to my research if I’m remembering correctly. I researched this around 2 months ago and even spoke with someone at either Cervelo or Mikes Bikes, can’t remember which now darn it and this is what they told me.

@@doncarroll1070 Thank you very much for taking the time to write this to me.
