Additional Info

Modernized, lightweight SB5.5 with an aggressive build and no compromises where it really counts (brakes, tires, suspension). It's been a superb bike for almost everything. Can't justify the thousands it would take to build a modern superbike when the one in front of me has never left me wishing for more.

Has done everything without hesitation: bike parks across europe, shuttle days, hundreds of km chasing GF's ebike and gravel riding friends during covid times.

Favorite part is the VDS sticker on the top tube. Made it down the track in one piece (barely) on this rig, still in awe of how capable it is albeit the margin of error is really tight compared to a DH bike.
