  • Nice colour scheme is the black matt? I am not a big fan of the recent trend for crazy colour schemes

    1st ride out was dissapoining due to problems with the marzocchi forks, had a bit of play in the forks and they were only giving 120mm trave, oh also got a snake bite on the rear and spent ages trying to remove the WTB tyres. but other than that the bike felt very nimble and ballanced yet somehow stable too. my god is that BB low mind lol
    im testing it on some DH tomoz with the new fox forks and minion tyres, hopefully that will have transformed the bike into how it should feel.
    i already own a trance and the REignX is its the big cousin so they are similar in some ways so i knew i would get on with it.
    really looking forward to trying it tomoz, then off on a DH holiday with it in may :D
