Sweet looking ride bloke. gotta ask though - how does the bike feel when you are seated? the single sided bit freaks me out.

Oh my! Would have been a exxy build.

How are the Guide RS compared to other brands? Are there DH specific guides or are they the same ones coming out on a lot of the Enduro bikes.

How does it compare to the Old demo (if you've ridden one).

The Guide brakes that come on this are called a Guide DH which is OEM. They have an RS lever with a bearing instead of a bushing like the normal RS. They also have the code caliper.


I have the Guides on my other bike also and they are a great brake all round, can't really fault them and they get a great wrap all round.

I havent had had a chance to properly ride it to compare it to anything else just yet.

Oh my. I've seen them in magazines, but your first pic of it against the dark fence makes it really stand out. Fark, it's damn nice. Everything looks amazing! Fark!

Hey Woffa, now you've had this for a while how about a bit of a ride report, and impressions on the bike compared to others you've ridden?

Cheers!
