    I like the look of that bike. What travel has it got. The frame design is great and the wheels are superb.

    This to replace the 456 or are you keeping both?

    Yes this has replaced the 456, I loved it but it had to go wife + 1 bike rule

    This is my first full sus, I took it out for a ride yesterday and the difference between the 456 and this is incredible, When I unboxed it I kinda wished I still had the 456 but after riding the Nerve I am now more than happy, I can just see it making me a lazy rider.

    I keep eyeing full sussers, as the only time I've ridden one felt so much quicker, but I really do love my Soul and can't really justify both.

    Great looking bike. Got one in the green, and was dubious about the black colour scheme. It looks ace however, and I know it rides well. Good Purchase.
    Shame about the wife +1 bike rule though
    GREAT SUCCESS!

    Same colour as mine (apart from mine is filthy now) which came a couple of weeks ago. It's stood up to the only real test of how good a bike is....... it's made me ride more than my Cube hardtail. Big smiles all round.

    Luckily the wife +1 rule worked in my favour. She wanted a bike and liked the look of the Cube. So I got a new one!

    Thanks for the comments, the ride is great i cut 2.5 mins off my ride to work today compared to my 456, changes that I will make ASAP are wider bars, grips, saddle, Definite upgrades in the near future are dropper post (reverb stealth), Wheelset (something on hopes), and xt brake set.

    I may also go for a slightly shorter stem but I will ride it for a week or so before i decide.
