Yeah, I've done a fair bit of climbing in the 160mm setting and it climbs surprising well. It's only on the real steep stuff (>13%) where the front end wants to lift and wander. For most sub 10% grade fire road climbing, it's all good!Thats pretty much exactly what I wanted to hear.
Out of interest have you tried to climb it with the fork on 160? How did it behave?
The pedal platform for climbing and sit down riding "on the hammer" is also awesome. The RP23 with pro pedal 'lock out' on setting 3, really does it's no-bob-job!

That honestly looks like it might just be the most fun bike on the face of the planet. Especially with one of those adjustable seatposts (Speedball/Joplin etc). I really like how mountain bikes have sort of reinvented themselves around full circle, to the point where we do actually have bikes that you can do pretty much everything on - AND be good at it.

Couldn't bloody find it! Drove around from Woodford to Beerburrum and back trying to find the bloody dirt road, then tried to drive down a couple and couldn't get my car through.... Talk about poorly organised. Why have a race that no one can find - don't they want spectators... Bit off topic, I know.
