I swapped all my parts onto the XR frame and mulleted it out! I have no idea how slack this is, but.. a lot! Hahaha it's ridiculous amounts of fun. I snuck in a quick session at the Sweat Equity zone and then smashed out a lap on a fun tech trail on my way home.

Mullet is awesome. I mulleted my Levo. Frickin love it! So much easier to turn and throw around the back end. If your BB is low, flip your chip to the high setting to offset the mullet BB drop.

I set up my bike as a mullet two years ago. I like the extra room behind the seat for steep rides or high speed when you have to scrub a jump. I wish more bike manufacturers set up their bikes to run a mullet from the factory.

I just built a super enduro in XL Privateer alloy frame with Zebs and was considering a Large Carbon build with Lyrik and a 29/27.5 mullet as another fun option aswell.

Lol friends and I joked about that years ago. It wouldn't work, at least well, because they are like polar opposites. With heel clickers you are jumping forward over the bike and dropping the back end, with toboggans you are learning back and pushing the front wheel down.
