Love it Cole, it smooths things out a treat and rolls very nicely. Don't get me wrong I still like to get out on my Cotic but if they made a 650b soul i'd have one in a heartbeat.

had a good ride out today round kentmere. went down garburn pass and kinda got stuck on some rocks, didn't fall off which surprised me. will get some crappy videos up later. garburn pass was pretty rock, kinda pick a line and just bounce off the rocks unit you are at the bottom. real good fun.

thats going down garburn pass, which was a million times worse to ride than it looks in the video. more travel would definitely help. mess it up a few times and one rock completely stops me dead. did well enough for my first go down it anyway.

Just watched that video and it looks pretty rocky! Your mate on the Cotic looks quite handy. Definitely think a bit more travel for you would not go amiss.
