V2.5010 v2 or v3? I'll be watching your build
With the V3 I felt I was going to land between sizes, and V2 still has pressed in headset cups, which gives me the option to play with angle headsets down the track. I'll put a PYR thread up once I make a start (hopefully this weekend if the invisiframe kit arrives this week). I loved my Size L 5010 V2 once I got it dialed (it felt like a riding BMX with just a little suspension added), except that I felt like death was imminent any time I pointed it down steep rocky tech, so the same thing in XL should be just as much fun but a little safer too.

V2 would be on my shortlist too. Seems like a good balance between weight and fun. The imminent death feeling can come a bit easier with only semi gnarly down bits. not one bike is a true quiver killer yet.
Will love to see how it progresses.

Well update the PYR build specs then!
Good to hear though. Bikes can have many lives!

Same shock & fork, same hubs but with DT 471 rims.
And Rod went full spend on the drivetrain, SRAM carbon cranks & AXS.
The Ripmo cannot be beat…

Aye. And yes, our trails are mint…makes it hard to be motivated to ride elsewhere.
Saying that, off to Thredbo next weekend…

I run a ground control on the back of mine but an eliminator up front. How's the double GC combo?

It's borderline for front end grip but I'm not the radest rider around. I freaking love the speed though.

Would you put them on again when it comes time to replace? Or truly not a good idea kind of borderline?

Same again. I like them that much.

Update. They are perfect for Thredbo & Mt Stromlo terrain. Never had a front slide...not even once. Their speed helped me keep the others in touch, which is a thing as this sort of riding is well outside my wheelhouse.
Not hard to spot the guy in learning mode...
