New Rune is sexy. Wheelbase looks sooo long though.

Wheelbase on a medium Rune is 1154mm. Compare that to a medium Specialized Enduro at 1153mm.

What do you think of the monarch plus.

No complaints, feels pretty close to a coil. Getting the right can size and compression tune is key.

Thanks. Am also looking at maybe the new DHX Air BV. Got a couple weeks to think about it

I'm really enjoying my current 160mm/180mm combo with the -2 degree headset. It climbs the type of stuff I like with no problems and feels great going back down the hill.

My next frame will have a similar setup, although I'm still undecided on what I'm getting.

Forgot to throw that one it there. Checked it out after I posted, but didn't feel like editing.

Not bad then. I think I'm just used to really short wheelbase bikes - both mine are about 41-42" :lol:

XL 2010 S-Works Enduro. 32lbs. 160mm rear, 170mm front. Full XT, Turbine cranks, Flow/Hopes/HR2 EXOs. KS Lev should bring it up to an even 33lbs, which is pretty damn good for a bike this big.

*edit: LEV added. Weight now 32.70lbs.

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.
