Anyone have any input on how the covert rides? How about a bandit?
The terrain here is pretty vertical you ride up for an hour to bomb down for 10 minutes. There is no flat. So, I am looking for a bike that I can ride up and rage down. No huge air on the way down, but definitely some moderate air, lots of hard g-out corners and plenty of brake bumps.
Currently I either kill myself on the way up with my downhill sled or suffer on the way down on my XC hardtail.
Will the bandit stand up to high speed single track downhill thrashing?
Will the covert climb well for an hour on a fireroad?
Other frames? SC blur or nickel?
