Got a chance to grab one, just want some input on anyone who has ridden it...

Like the V10 , possibly shift around a bit and try some other DH oriented stuff...
Short list is
Scott DH bike new style
Intense M1
Commencal supreme (eluded me so far)
Vampire bikes (Chris's new sled)
Forbiddens new dh

The Elite version is pretty cheap right now. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for an aluminum model.

Loving mine so far in xl! Rear end isn’t the stiffest but much better than my furious were. Also needed a higher spring rate than I’m used to. Lots of adjustments too!

Lol..yeah I expect comments...would be disappointed if there werent some witt!!! Lmao.

Yeah the cost for full blown I get is stupid cheap for one of my accounts I do suspension for...part of the reason is it has the Boxxer ultimate 38mm and I want to try it as well .

Flex on rear isnt bad been trying to say that for years, a long with 38lbs being a sweet spot for weight...balanced and moves in chunk...


For those of you who ride or ride one, how's it handle chatter and corner in the pocket??

I like the design the high pivot and idler...that leads me to believe it will be a familiar feel ..

I'm 175lb, on xl, with a 550 spring (measured at 546).
That’s good the springs rockshox are using are quality. Do find yourself oversprung a bit?
Oh what setting you in? Im progressive, but when it stops bloody raining im planning to try the less setting to see how that feels.
I did wish we got the Hbo on our shocks as well.

What's the sag on the bike with that spring? Im having mine in a few weeks, im about the same weight. Not sure what spring comes stock, but im not sure if im 500 or 550.

Im that height on L. Pretty perfect sizing i feel.
Thanks. I was leaning towards the large. 510 reach on the XL is getting towards the edge of too big for what I like. Some shop on Pinkbike buy and sell has the lower end builds for $3100. Don’t know much about the X Fusion HC3 on the back though. Although that’s an easy swap.

Comes with a 550lb and im 190lb all up. Can bottom it out on a send. Doesnt feel like a big bottom out, but my heal hits the ground. May be i need another click of hsc perhaps.

Im 170lb, I think 550 should be fine then, I would go, still the bike is supposed to have a more progresive position for the shock isn't it?

Alright, Dudes, Bros.

Czech this out. This is a GT Fury. Would you? Awfully cheep.

Yes it was a rental. Yes it's not exactly a race bike. But....it is a dh bike.

Am I right? May have to replace the fork...But yeah, we'll see...I wouldn't mind a Dh bike. I'm a little bored of abusing my endurbro bike. Hmmm....

The snow is coming soon, so I'm sure these guys can't wait to free up space.
