Hard to quantify precisely, but I would say not particularly flexy, but still reasonably compliant. It absorbs "buzz" very well, and doesn't have that "smooth until it suddenly runs out of give" carbon feel, but doesn't bend or flex unnecessarily. Sort of like a tauter steel frame but slightly lighter. It is spec'd with Marzocchi Z1 (the thick stanchion version of a Fox 36), carbon rims, a DH-spec alloy handlebar, so the frame compliance is definitely noticeable and appreciated as a harsh-riding frame with that gear would be pretty brutal. @wkkie has taken it for a brief pedal along a bit of fireroad, and mentioned it was stiffer than his Marino steel hardtail with very similar componentry. Terrain and desired feel would determine whether that's a good thing or not...How flexy is the frame?
Mtbr is just a stinking swamp of stupidity. Half the info is plain wrong and the other half is fucking wrong. Full credit to Push for engaging with the audience, but given that 95% of the audience are clueless homers they have more to lose than gain from engaging.Seems to have been a bit of a storm over Push‘s 11-6 shock and some posts have been removed and some still digging for dirt but Darren from Push responses I think are well written, no blame laid on anyone and facts stated. Whether or not there was an issue that is a great way to respond unlike some other manufacturers.

Free entertainment for the hordes. Getting dragged into the whirlpool of arguing about grey fuzzy things like suspension tuning, which is pretty subjective at best, has to be a great way to suck away your time with little gain.Also when person A says something uncomplimentary about something person B likes / owns and nuclear level butthurt ensues.
We snavelled our tickets when they were desperately reopening. $79/ person, $89 for the van. We're about 2/3 of the way through our 2 1/2 weeks here, and I can still afford beer and snacks. Vanlife rules. We also scored some free Derby accommodation over the hectic long weekend, which was so much better than mixing it with the great unwashed.Fark ! its cheap as chips to get to Tassie at the moment.
If I lived in Melbourne, I'd have booked this, depart 29/3 return 6/4, both day crossings.
6 full days riding and this is taking 2 kids.

No kids, pack a swag and your bike... $290 return

No doubt, but Dougal is a 0.5 carat diamond buried at the bottom of a stinking sewerage plant.Nothing wrong with challenging industry manufacturers on their engineering processes and designs, Dougal on there is probably one of the more experienced suspension mechs worldwide.
You'd be surprised at how many industry reps and engineers are on there under a different guise, certainly more informative over this place for in-depth technical information, you barely get a boo on here from industry reps, only time you see them is when someone puts their business down and staff or a member contact the business involved. Australia is just small fish in terms of the MTB industry.No doubt, but Dougal is a 0.5 carat diamond buried at the bottom of a stinking sewerage plant.
Also how the fuck does NZ get Dougal as a Manitou distro and we get Cyclingdeal? C'mon Linksports, get us some real support and some Maras.

That's the 5% that aren't clueless homers. But given that this 5% are the same cynical fucktards who gave us boost, superboost, metric shocks, 35mm handlebars etc etc etc I'll hang onto my scepticism thanks.You'd be surprised at how many industry reps and engineers are on there under a different guise, certainly more informative over this place for in-depth technical information, you barely get a boo on here from industry reps, only time you see them is when someone puts their business down and staff or a member contact the business involved.

You've got to sift through the poo no doubt but sometimes it also forces the truth out of people too. Nobody is forcing you to buy all the new fads, I'm still on old frames and can pretty much match most speeds of people on current model frames. Upselling is what keeps the industry wheels turning unfortunately, more profits, more money for engineering and cheaper manufacturing processes.That's the 5% that aren't clueless homers.

Mach 1 or mach 2!mach most speeds
Pro's count the Milliseconds, it can be the difference between a win or a loss on the world downhill stage, old mortals like me count the seconds or maybe minutes.Yep. Just look at all the pro riders on 'sub optimal' equipment according to the keyboard warriors. But no catching them on the trails!
Got anything bigger?old mortals like me count the seconds or maybe minutes.
