This seems odd given that Pinkbike blew their load on the Yeti SB130 Lunch Ride.

Maybe it's not American enough?

The guy who's reviewing it is Scottish....?

Seb's notoriously hard to please though. He's shitcanned numerous bikes other reviewers have raved over, most recently that pretty sweet looking Crossworx 290.

They also poo poo’ed the new Ripmo and owners and other sites love it.

Remember when the Trek Fuel was 120/130 (and that horrid lime colour)?
Now it's up to 160mm!

I swear the Gen 6 didn't come out that long ago, but time makes no sense any more

Not a lot of creativity here. Just like a dozen or fifty other bikes.

$7k frame. Ouch.

that’s the whole bike.

 

[Mattyp]

that’s the whole bike.

Minus Aussie distributor tax/mark up.

 

[pink poodle]

Looks nice in black.

 

[shiny]

that’s the whole bike.

Seems too cheap? If so then not bad.

I dunno man, 7k for a carbon mould frame with garbage components seems about right in the current market.

Minus Aussie distributor tax/mark up.

Nah that’s includes the $1250 Aus markup. Frame only looks alright at 4500 compared to a santacruz $6k
Here for tha blu flo shredda

Hot on the heels of the new Stylus, Cromag look to have finally got to the question of "what would it be like if we built a Banshee Prime partially out of steel?"
New Reazon 135/160mm

It'll cost you AUD$4250 for the frame and shock.

It'll cost you AUD$8590 for a SRAM Eagle build, and a staggering AUD$11,274 for an X0 build

They did not. It looks more like they said "hey merida...can you make us one of your generic Hosrt link frames, but with some steel so we can keep our street cred?"

 

[komdotkom]

Make me a generic looking bike with nothing to differentiate it from other bikes except being heavy and with a hefty price tag.
I love their hard tails but Chromag have lost me here.

If only a full 29er - I know 27.5 is their thing but would a ripper trail bike as 29 front and rear.
