Looks like it could be a fun 120mm bike to ride.
“Designed by us in the UK from the ground up, the Aeris 120 is a hard riding trail bike, but climbs like an XC whippet, while keeping the fun levels high when the trail heads downhill. At Bird we don’t do catalogue, so rather than pointing to a frame in a brochure, throwing some new geo at it, making a sick edit and calling that done, we’ve used our experience gained over 3 years to make the best short travel FS we can.” – Bird Cycleworks

  • Had a good look at this today in the flesh and had a quick pedal. Left very impressed with it tbh both from the look of the bike, fit and how it pedals.
