That is fucking lovely. I though I'd be able to post in this thread again soon but the guy I was buying my Voltage off backed out at the last minute due to family issues, hopefully things will be sorted in a few weeks though. Can't resist the Voltage, such good value for money!

New to me at the start of this summer… but the guy I bought it from had only ridden it a few times.

First DH bike in years. Loving it. X0, Dorado Pro, Prime brakes (which have been the biggest positive surprise), Ringle ADD pro, Atlas Cranks, Spank bars, stem, pedals.

Should have something more complete to show you guys soon, picked this up yesterday :)

Gonna have to run my Sektors on it for a bit but I can't decide what fork to upgrade to. Lyrik or Totem? I can run the rear travel either 160mm or 180mm so can match either one. Seeing as my favourite bike ever (old SC Bullit) was 180mm each end the totem makes sense but I dunno if I want the extra weight as it's quite a bit I think!

Target weight is 36lbs. This will be my do all, enduro bike. I plan to pedal this up many hills. will be running a 30T with 34T cassette as i have 3 laying around so no point in buying a 36.

So cool to see an XXL. Must have been driven by the tall Syndicate riders. Thanks Peat and Minnaar!

Lol 28.67" reach on the xxl, must be a typo. Still, 18.67" is just about the biggest on the market. The only other bikes in that size range are the gt fury and the new ns dh bike.

I was just about to write something snappy until I saw the bigger size. Well done Santa Cruz.

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