Product: Spearfish
How Long Used: 2 hours 45 minutes
Similar Products Used: C-dale RUSH & 1FG
Overall Rating [1-10]: 8.77
Positive: So far this bike is living up to the hype. Likes to go down hill fast. Climbs better then my RUSH standing, but seated seems the way to go or at-least for me. Parts and weight to msrp ratio seems pretty good. First non-lefty in 10 years. I was a little nervous about the Reba, but it performed quite well. Nice to have rebound and compression. Only change from stock was a tube-ectomy, stock nano's with stan's still holding strong.
Negative: I guess it could be lighter, but so would my wallet.
Comments: This bikes seems like its the love child of my RUSH and 1FG. After about 40 minutes I forgot I was on a new ride and just settled in. So far I've only rode Hartshorn, which always feels fast and smooth compared to Ringwood. As soon as it dries out I'll have a better idea on familiar trails.
