i found the same thing and most of it was down to stem length. Took 3 diff lengths for me to get the right set up.

What did you end up with? I've got a pretty short stem on at the moment. I think I need to stay that way so I can feel set back in the bike, but sometimes wonder if a bit longer would make feel like I had more room.

Anyway, tweaking the control positions and rotating the bars forward helped a lot. I think the rest of it is down to me learning to ride better now. Maybe a bit less pressure in the fork too, but yeah, mostly sorting my head out.

Any updates on this bike? I'm looking to get myself one for Christmas. Torn between the carbon and the yellow like yours. I'll be going for 36 van r up front though. Really need a demo first as £6k is a lot for a bike. So much I have to sell my motorbike before I'm allowed one lol. Best be worth it.

The bike is great! The only thing I've done is had the rear shock re-tuned to suit my weight, the shock is apparently set at factory for 12 stone & I'm a 15, it now rides amazing, I think the 36's would be a better choice, depending on your weight I would look at the rear, Mojo were brilliant, as the shock was new they only charged me 30 quid & the platform is much better on small to medium bump sensitivity, just got back from Fort Bill, I took it down the downhill red route & it behaved impeccably, Get a demo, u will love it

I'm similar weight, although hoping to drop at least a stone by the time I get the bike.
Thanks for the update.
Matt.
