    Looks great in blue! Those Bionicons are mad bikes, I love the adjustable geometry :D

    Cheers!!!

    I'm absolutely sold on the concept - did a few good demo rides then took the plunge. Taking it to Afan this Sunday for the first proper ride in anger - can't wait!!

    Yeah the variable geometry/travel is awesome - it's just a perfect trail centre bike, able to take the big hits then a quick space ship style button press and you're in climb mode! This one tickles the scales at just over 29lbs and hasn't even been built super light - I reckon with lighter tyres and a few carbon bits it could drop to 27-28 maybe, but am super happy with it as a tough, low maintenance trail monster :D

    You ought to try one at the Bikeradar demo day - you'll love it!

    Get another - you know you want to!! Afan last weekend was an absolute blast on it, I felt so confident and loads faster around W2 - only downside was scaring myself on the second from last descent as I went onto the little bridge thing before the 18 turn sh*tloads faster than I am normally used to! :lol:
