Seeing Double




So after riding my Yeti DJ for quite some time I've stepped up to a short travel bike. It's a bit of a pig, heavy and a real pain on the uphills. But it totally rails on the descents. I'm lucky enough to live 5 minutes ride from Gap creek in Brisbane and being able to ride 7 days a week, so I really get to give my bikes a thorough testing. I've gotta say that the 90mm of travel on the bike makes a massive difference to speed over the rock sections. Sticks to berms alot better but I almost miss the rear end skipping around and sliding between berms. Definitely alot more fun to ride though, aside from the climbs. Also impressed with the X7 gears, very crisp and no issues so far. Avid brake squeal irritating though. :smash:

Spec list:

Trans double
Fox float R / Marz rocco air
Pike 454
Protaper 780's
Thomson post
