I’m riding it more than my Yeti at the moment. At the ripe old age of 52 I thought a hard tail would beat me to death but this bike is surprisingly compliant. It’s really stable and has actually improved my confidence on the steep stuff. I’m riding everything that I take my full suss on and my times are not too far apart. I have a 160 fork on mine so the steering might feel a little sharper with less travel but it’s definitely no slouch. Tyre clearance is amazing. Thom at Dawley has done an awesome job with this bike, great guy too. The great thing is he will build the frame to the geo/size you want. My first dip back into the world of the hard tail and I couldn’t be happier with it. The choice of colours is insane too. Go to prismatic powders to see what they have.

Awesome, I love mine, clocked up quite a few miles on it already. I’m pretty sure you’ll love it. 
 

It’s seriously a capable bike and the workmanship on the frame is 👌🏼

I reckon the 140 fork would be great. 
 

What colour did you go for?
