Check out 3/4 Cove bike checks by Charlie Grinnell and Graeme Meiklejohn! This bike is insane, rides up like a hardtail, and descents like a full on dh bike! stoked

How does the rear suspension feel to you? Just curious. And what is the total weight of your rig?

A climber you are not :D

But the downhill riding looked great! You make the bike look very agile.

I gotta say Chazz has a showstopper,move over Nomad and Reign.
We got a new kid on the block and he does not play well with others.

Major flaw is keeping his seat slammed lol

Hmm this is interesting. I owned an old Gspot back when I started riding in 04-05 and I liked it a lot. Now I have a Reign and it is hands down one of the best AM rides I have owned.

Maybe next year I'll take a look at the cove stable.

Transition - TOP
Specialized- Demo 8 II
Santa Cruz- Butcher

Still a hack.

Owning an STD for one summer…I am incredibly in lust with the new G.

If it rides 75% as nice as the STD…and weighs 10lbs less… I'm all over it.

Can't afford it though. Everybody go get one…and then sell to me next year!!!!!!!!!!!

so we can assume there is a good battle beetween the 180mm travel bikes.
Cove STD,Giant Faith,Demo 7, and Norco Shore.

I've owned both the STD and the Faith and ride wise, both are awesome. The cove felt like it stuck to the ground a little better but that could be a side- effect; weight wise, the giant kills the cove.

Did you own the first gen Faith (they have not produced in 3 years).
Or the George Michael Gotta have Faith 2010 edition ?
I am interested in these bikes, it is a close battle with,Trek Scratch,or the Transition TR250. I am just liking the current bike porn.
Good to see the Cove in the running ,(they still have the same paint jobs Hemi orange,Cuda Lime Green.),Does Evil make a 180 mm travel bike?

I prefer's dan's vid.

All those bikes climb like crap, demo, faith, etc.

Is there a Vancouver in Taiwan?! I had no idea!!

Nothing sums up my life's achievements like my stuffed corpse, suplexing a cougar.

Got mine all together and took it out on a little ride. So far I'm very happy with it. Its a little ripper thats for sure!

Only gripe is tire clearance in the rear. If only that brace were 3mm further out. I kept having rocks get in there and fling out. Thats with a 2.5 though so maybe I should put on a 2.35.

Shittt I need to finish paying mine off! Been looking at it on the Cove floor for past week now and getting more stoked on it! Now this video just pushed me over the top. Gotta ride this thing!

Just Ride.
