Silverado seat and loads of old tubes for frame protection are only changes!

  • In the beginning I did not experienced bike as terribly fast uphill-er, but probably I was out of shape to. Slightly worse behavior during ascent was generaly my fault because I did not tunned well magic link, there was not enough pressure in boath shocks. Once you tune magic link wright Cadabra climbs very well especialy with propedal turned on. Its not XC-ishly fast but close enough. On the descents bike is something else entirely. When the driver positions his but back behind the seat bike gets another dimension. Stable, fast, even very agile bike with almost 118cm wheelbase. Talas does its job ahead and behind this miracle of the Magic Link swallows everything what gets in his way (at least in my terms).

    sorry for the bad English
