The Gen 1 is far too rigid for my taste, but I'm more of a track guy. .


This may sound stupid but what exactly does 'too rigid' feel like? And how would it differ on a track vs. off road riding?

I think you could do better buying a Gen 2/3 in terms of getting more money for the parts you dont ...

How much improvements is ...

Hello All,

I focus on bikes and riding so my mind doesn't get polluted with the world and its bs.
