I managed to get out the other week when the weather was still good(!) and snap a couple of shots of my Rotwild R.X2 so thought I would share as it's still a pretty unique bike in the UK. I admit I'm from an XC background (the pedals will give it away!) so don't have massive experience with long travel bikes, but it's by far the best fully I've ridden and really inspires a lot of confidence when riding. I though it was going to pedal terribly compared to my xc hardtail, but have been very pleasantly surprised.

The spec is just stock except for the Reverb seatpost upgrade, and I've since changed the grips to some firmer lock ons - the Crank Bros foam ones feel too sloppy.
