    Thanks for saying that. I’m not trying to rip anyone off. I am using the bicycle blue book as a guide. I didn’t pull that number out of the trees. It’s a number that I think people will respond to and that I can accept without feeling like I got beat. 😂

    I am 6’5”. Bike is probably a little small for me, but not many manufacturers go beyond XL in their range. For our terrain, and my style of riding it’s fine. I’m not a bike park guy. I’m a goin’ slow over the rocks type. They listed this bike as 6’2”+ at the time, but by the latest geo standards...

    New to the site, also seeking input

    I concur with keeping your GT for now. I rushed the process and while I wound up with a great bike, I think that another year of riding would have seen me go a slightly different route. If you have any piece of you that wants to ride more aggressive trails I would go full suspension. Somewhere...

    Is less travel more for a slow rider?

    Lots of people like that bike. I have to believe a refresh is coming soon though. That and the Mach 5.5 are what the industry would call dated geometry. I loved the 5.5 when I demoed it. Do you prefer 29 or 27.5? I’m super tall so I feel like I should be on a 29er, but maybe a 27.5 is what I...

    I think most bikes pedal pretty well now for sure. But just pedaling we’ll doesn’t make a bike nimble. That’s what I am looking for. I see the new Ripmo went slacker. Wonder if I can get the V1 at a discount?

    Is less travel more for a slow rider?

    I think that puts a lot of people off. When I mention to people that they should give MTB a try I think they think that they are expected to ride the most extreme stuff and all that. Does the industry a disservice. I think.
