Demoed the SX on Seymour, fun ride, but keep in mind it has only the one chain ring - no granny…

Er…my 2009 SX Trail has two rings (24/36). Not sure what 2011 holds since the travel looks to be going up slightly, but up to 2010 they have always had two chainrings from the factory. Did you perhaps demo a custom-built SX or SX Trail?

+1 on the fun ride, though :D Despite the weight, my SX Trail is currently my go-to bike for pretty much everything. I pedal it everywhere, but I'm about 180 lbs, fairly strong, and not overly concerned with how fast I get where I'm going. A woman might be more affected by the weight.
