I love my Hardtail, but would spend all my money on a layout with similar efficiency, and power transfer, but a little less bike to rider violence when things get rough, or choppy.
I had a 2013 Hei Hei with flex stays and hated it, but that was aluminum. I’m sure carbon is better suited for flex stay applications, but I’m still a bit wary. Seems anything that flexes will only have so many flex cycles before it eventually fails. Sure a lifetime warranty may help, but a lifetime warranty won’t walk my ass out of the woods with a broken frame.
Perhaps some sort of revamped strut layout like the old Rocky Mountain Razor Back? Or a maybe a soft tail?
Any experience with the Spur?
