I run my medium Riftzone 27.5 with a 140mm Helm(with lots of volume reduction and heavy LSC) and DHR’s and or Shorty’s(mostly with EXO casings and pressures in the mid 30’s), Fat rotor 200mm TRP’s front and rear, saint cranks, 10-36 10 speed casette, 50mm rise bars
I also run 55mm stroke on both shocks for a lil extra travel out back.
At 5’10” it’s my compact little swiss army knife for slalom racing, push-up riding, rut tracks and it’s main use, test riding the green and blue flow trails I build at work.
I can still go smash out laps on the local winch and plummet- the stiff AF suspension and big bars keep it going straight, and bouncing over the top of holes, and that firm chassis and big bar make high-speed corners a joy, even on an unfashionably short bike!
