Paging Dr Beebenson, @beeb enson your preliminary results are in......
Starting to use it like I did the Procaliber, and the early stages of the bike-brain connection were forged yesterday. Sat it on its nose and the front just tracked, the rear following along like a lost puppy. It was glorious.
I can't be certain why, but on paper I was worried this bike would be an understeering pig of a bike. The bars are wider, the stem while the same length is not as angled, it squats through corners. But it's the polar opposite. It's everything I wanted the Procal to be. Sharp turn in, holds the line, isn't drastically unstable. Tire pressures are up and I still trust the front end.

@beeb please correct me if I'm wrong. Are the extra reach, steeper seat angle and extra trail from the 'wrong' offset fork combing to give it more bite, and is the rear suspension contributing by stopping the bike from becoming unsettled over mid corner bumps?
Either way, as much as I loved the Procal, the Super is next level.
