loved my old Dixon…awesome bike
custom built mine with Fox 36 Float RC2 fork lowered to 150mm giving sweet
spot of 66 degree HA, and suited the very capable SP rear as when I tested the
stock bike with Fox 32 found the fork could not keep up with the rear
suspension! Also ran 750mm bar, short stem and RS Reverb post, Stans ZTR Flow
/ Hope Pro II wheels with tubeless Specialized tires, bike just over 30lb
Dixon climbed extremely well and was also a blast on flat singletrack, cannot
overstate how much better the SP suspension was than my previous 2 Devinci
Hectiks (FSR style 4-bar) which always felt squatty and too soft under power
and when descending..wow! Dixon was a rowdy bike for sure
