As the first new MTB in 18 years, I knew I'd have to raise my expectations, but fuck me.
So fast, so capable.
I'm riding through things I avoided when I was 15 and fearless. I was glad I was riding solo on the first day, it was a little embarrassing. Just couldn't think fast enough to keep up with the bike and how much speed it carried through everything.
