Great write-up, how would you compare the Hightower to the RM Instinct you reviewed last year? Obviously not completely apples to apples with the Rocky being a size large, but otherwise the bikes seem very similar in terms of intended use.
If I were to build an Instinct it would have a 55mm stroke shock and 160mm fork (or -1 headset) so geo and travel would be very close, so I'm mainly curious about suspension performance.
Cheers!
